Einde van het jaar, dus we voegen weer een nieuw donkerrood streepje aan het eind van de klimaatstreepjescode toe 🌡️. 2025 komt jaargemiddeld uit op 11,4 graden Celsius, dat is geen record maar wel top 10 🏅. Die top 10 staat vol met recente jaren ➡️ opwarming 🥵🌍. Meer info: nos.nl/artikel/2596...

2025 relatief warm in Nederland, maar minder dan recordwarme jaren ervoor

2025 hoort bij de warmste jaren sinds het begin van de metingen, maar na twee recordwarme jaren was de gemiddelde temperatuur in Nederland iets minder warm.

📢 New paper on the impacts of AMOC collapse on European hydroclimate. 🌊 We find an AMOC collapse would exacerbate drought conditions across Europe, linked to reduced precipitation. In combination with climate change droughts are expected to become more frequent and severe. doi.org/10.5194/hess...

Changing European hydroclimate under a collapsed AMOC in the Community Earth System Model

Abstract. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is expected to weaken or even collapse under anthropogenic climate change. Given the importance of the AMOC in the present-day climate,...

Het is (weer) droog deze zomer, nu te zien aan de blaadjes die te vroeg van de bomen vallen. 🍂🍂 Dit weerbeeld past bij wat we verwachten van klimaatverandering in Nederland: minder zomerneerslag, warmer en daardoor meer verdamping. ☀️🌡️ 🥵 NOS: nos.nl/collectie/13... nu: www.nu.nl/binnenland/6...

Vroege herfstkleuren en blaadjes op straat door toenemende droogte

Door de droge omstandigheden laten veel bomen hun blad al vallen, terwijl ze dat normaal gesproken pas over een maand doen.

Vandaag in 1975 geleden begon de, in Nederland, langste hittegolf: 18 dagen lang kwam de maximum temperatuur niet onder de 25C, met in die periode 6 dagen boven 30C. Ik sprak er gisterenavond laat over bij NOS Met het Oog op Morgen. www.nporadio1.nl/podcasts/met...

Two weeks left to apply for this PhD project in which we will study weather and climate in spring and autumn. You will work at both Utrecht University and the Dutch Meteorological Service (KNMI). ➡️ www.uu.nl/en/organisat...

PhD position on the atmospheric dynamics of seasonal transitions

Will you join Utrecht University and KNMI for a shared PhD project on the fundamentals of spring and autumn, improving understanding of the transition seasons?

It has been hard to follow the developments in US (climate) science- thinking of the people affected and the science missed out on. The latest cuts end the NOAA GFDL/PrincetonUni program I personally worked in. It was fundamental in my career, breaks my heart 💔🌎. www.commerce.gov/news/press-r...

Het is april, dat betekent dat het groeiseizoen van start gaat. Op het KNMI gaan we het neerslagtekort bijhouden, om een eventuele droogte te signaleren. Dit jaar waren februari en maart echter ook a droog, een ongunstige water-start dus. nos.nl/l/2561973

Recorddroge maand luidt droogteseizoen in, maar de regenton raakt al langer leeg

Op 1 april begint traditioneel het monitoren van de droogte, al is het de vraag of klimaatverandering Nederland niet dwingt om dat moment naar voren te halen.

Excited to have been part of this perspective, led by @timokelder.bsky.social, discussing how society can build resilience to, rather than be surprised by, unprecedented weather: 💪 vs 😱 Includes a review of methods to anticipate events, and discussion on adaptation practice and disaster management.

🌱☀️A new paper by Jonna van Mourik explores drivers of multi-year droughts around the world. She compares multi-year events to 'normal' droughts of shorter duration. Given higher impact of long events, understanding and early detection can make a difference. ➡️ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excited to see Dr Henrique Goulart defend his PhD on Monday. He explored methods to develop physical storylines connecting weather to societal impacts. Historic extremes in different settings, due to random climate variability or climate change, can be used to test adaptation strategies.

🧨 The last paper of Henrique Goulart written as part of his PhD was published this week. He showcases how storylines can be used to evaluate adaptation strategies at the local scale 🌀 🌊, complementing traditional climate risk assessments for informed decision-making. ➡️ www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Exploring coastal climate adaptation through storylines: Insights from cyclone Idai in Beira, Mozambique

Goulart et al. explore the effectiveness of storylines in evaluating adaptation strategies for extreme climate events. They highlight how these narrative-based approaches can complement traditional climate risk assessments by showcasing the consequences of each adaptation strategy selected, quantifying residual impacts and testing robustness across different scenarios. This research offers insights for policymakers and communities, emphasizing the importance of integrating narrative approaches in climate adaptation planning to make informed decisions that better protect communities.

Very much recommend this #EGU25 session! Last year it was an afternoon full of cool science, new insights, and good discussions (plus a nice dinner afterwards). I personally won't be attending this year (for happy reasons, expecting baby#2), but am convinced it will be equally great.
