Maximum temperature anomalies over the UK for the last two days. If you're wondering whether we need a new colour scale... you're not wrong. These anomaly maps are relative to the 1991-2020 average. (Based on HadUK-Grid dataset and produced by the Met Office National Climate Information Centre)

It’s astounding and encouraging that the Met Office put out these long scientific explanations of how our world works. We need more science in the world like this. 👏

A positive North Atlantic Oscillation is set to take charge of our weather in the coming days - but what does that actually mean? 🌬️ 🌦️ How will it shape the days ahead? and how long could it stick around? Met Office meteorologist Aidan breaks it down in this week’s deep dive.

Historically, the U.S. has funded almost 50% of global ocean observation programs. However, amidst shifting geopolitics and rising global uncertainty, it remains to be seen whether other nations will step up to fill the funding gap. #OSM26

Excited to share our new publication in GRL We examine how a seasonal North Atlantic Oscillation affects the thermal and biogeochemical states in the North Atlantic Ocean for many years. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... @agu.org @ricliv.bsky.social

Contrasting Fast and Slow Ocean Thermal, Carbon and Nutrient Responses to the North Atlantic Oscillation

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass. Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

Science fraud is on the rise, facilitated by for-profit, open-access journals (Richardson et al, 2025, PNAS). These same journals are accelerating author and reviewer burnout by profiting from quantity while neglecting quality. Choose society journals where reputation and community are everything!

Record warm ocean temperatures continued in September across the North Pacific Ocean, with a number of consequential impacts (including on downstream weather patterns). This graph shows the average for a band across the midlatitudes for every September from 1854-2025 using @noaa.gov ERSSTv5 data.

Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each September from 1850 through 2025 for only the midlatitude region of the North Pacific Ocean. There is large interannual variability, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. 2025 is a record high.

@metoffice.gov.uk ‘s 'State of the UK Climate' report is out today, with some key findings: 🌊UK sea level is rising faster than the global average 🌡️extremes are becoming the norm 🥇record breaking weather events are becoming more frequent 🔥the last 3 yrs have been in the UK's top 5 warmest on record

The Secretary of Commerce's new policy requiring his personal review of all NOAA contracts over $100,000 is directly harming American science. 🧪 How do I know? Because this morning, twelve of America's rising leaders in climate science (including myself) were furloughed.

Excellent post by @dinahvp.bsky.social‬ on the plan to devastate NOAA research, with quotes from @franklinjamesl.bsky.social @wxmanms1.bsky.social. "Only a small fraction of NOAA Research would remain and be transferred to the NWS, including portions of the weather, tornado and technology research."

Awful. More horrible science news "The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) learned yesterday that the Department of Defense (DoD) will stop processing & delivering the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data no later than 30 June 2025."

Screenshot from NSIDC that says: "Dear Colleague: The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) learned yesterday that the Department of Defense (DoD) will stop processing and delivering the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data no later than 30 June 2025. The SSMIS data are used as input for the following NSIDC DAAC-produced data sets, which will therefore stop processing no later than 30 June 2025:"

I know there’s a lot of news right now but this is really crazy. They’re booting the National Science Foundation out of its newish building with no plans for where 1800 people are going to go.
