June 2026 data from Copernicus ECMWF offered another stark reminder of our changing #climate: - Western Europe recorded its warmest June on record - Globally it was the 2nd warmest June according to ERA5 Our climate system is continuing to accumulate heat .

We will get more heatwaves and marine heatwaves until we reduce fossil emissions #climate www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

'Extreme' marine heatwave expected for parts of UK with risk to sea life

Scientists fear that high sea temperatures could have wide-ranging consequences for marine life.

Some optimistic #climate news - clean energy met all of global electricity growth in 2025. Excellent analysis by @carbonbrief.org See: www.carbonbrief.org/six-charts-s...

Europe's most severe #heatwave ever recorded! Well done to the @wwattribution.bsky.social team for publishing their latest #climate attribution study during the heatwave. Read full report: www.worldweatherattribution.org/fossil-fuel-...

As #LCAW concludes, this warning over most of the UK from the @metoffice.gov.uk is 'yet' another reminder that we will continue to see more of these types of extremes with further #ClimateChange #Heatwaves are hotter, longer and occur more frequently due to the burning of fossil fuels

35°C is normal, we used to just call that summer! Here's how many summers topped 32°C 70s 4 80s 2 90s 8 2000s 6 2010s all of them 2020s all of them And here's how many summers topped 35°C 70s 1 80s 0 90s 2 2000s 2 2010s 3 2020s 4 (out of 6 so far)

New research from @rebeccalize.bsky.social and team at @ecmwf.int shows that heat stress is not just increasing, it’s reshaping daily life across the world. Today, around one billion more people experience extreme heat stress compared to 50 years ago Full paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The UK temperature record that has held since 1976 of 35.6 degrees, is forecast to be 38-40 degrees in June 2026. Future heatwaves will be more intense in an even warmer world. Europeans are exposed to more heat stress than ever before due to continued burning of fossil fuels

Delighted to join #SB64 in Bonn with the @priestleycentre.bsky.social @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social @iiasa.ac.at Indicators of Global Climate Change annual update including the launch of the new dashboard and publication. indicators.climate.copernicus.eu essd.copernicus.org/articles/18/...

A marine heatwave around the British Isles could have contributed to the UK's record 35.1C heatwave on land last month, according to scientists. Story feat @oceanterra.org & @noc.ac.uk 👇 www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

May 2026 was the second warmest May globally according to @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social 📈 The recent European heatwave followed a rapid transition from below average temperatures and this likely increased impacts on people, crops and ecosystems

The latest @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social climate bulletin shows that May 2026 was the second warmest May globally. 🌊 Exceptionally high sea surface temperatures in the subtropical Pacific (not an El Niño signal yet)

Fun pseudo mammatus clouds in London today; dodging the hail, however, was less fun… #cloudart

Latest C3S seasonal forecast: - El Niño is increasingly likely in 2026 - Over 50% of the C3S multi-system ensemble now exceed 2.5°C amplitude in Niño3.4 by the end of the forecast If an El Niño does develop in 2026 it will be with much warmer ocean temperatures than the 2023/24 El Niño… 🌊🧪⚒️🌏

Weather Replay - your time machine to revisit past weather Exciting new application launched today by @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social Check out the comparison between the 'infamous' 1976 heatwave and the 40 degrees in the UK in 2022 🌡️🧪⚒️ Check it out: weather-replay.climate.copernicus.eu

April 2026: joint 3rd warmest April on record. New Copernicus climate data show near-record ocean heat, widespread marine heatwaves, low Arctic sea ice & sharp contrasts across Europe. A climate increasingly shaped by extremes. More: climate.copernicus.eu/copernicus-s...

Peak spring in Oxfordshire! Love this time of year in 🇬🇧 - the fragrance from the bluebells and wisteria is enchanting 🌸☀️ #spring #blossom

The European State of the Climate Report is launched today: 🌐 more than 40 datasets 👩‍🔬 over 100 scientists 🗺️ > 130 charts and graphics 🌍 🌡️ Europe is the fastest warming continent, with temperatures rising at around twice the global average rate Check it out: climate.copernicus.eu/ESOTC

The @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social and @wmo-global.bsky.social European State of the Climate report launches today Covering 21 topics and climate indicators Check it out: climate.copernicus.eu/esotc/2025

Ocean surface temperature back at 21 degrees according to @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social Climate Pulse. Record high temperatures in the Pacific Ocean will be interesting to watch over the coming months 🌊🌡️🧪⚒️

During February 2026, Europe yet again saw the growing impacts of climate change. 🌧️ A series of atmospheric rivers, together with a south-shifted jet stream led to heavy-to-extreme precipitation, triggering widespread flooding and landslides, particularly across Iberia and western France. 🌍🧪⚒️

The extreme events of February 2026 highlight the growing impacts of #climate change and the pressing need for global action. 🌡️ Global temperatures were 1.49°C above pre-industrial levels, for the 5th warmest February More details: climate.copernicus.eu/press-releases

January 2026 delivered a stark reminder that the climate system can simultaneously deliver very cold weather in one region & extreme heat in another. These recent events highlight that resilience & adaptation to increasing extremes are key to prepare society for heightened climate risk.

Delighted that this paper is now out for open review. Thanks to @peterthorne.bsky.social for his leadership on this critical topic and bringing the community together 🧪⚒️

New discussion paper just dropped that’s taken shall we say a little work to get this far … essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es... please be kind. Not on an at all sensitive topic in the slightest.

Mountains of change in our #climate. Climate change is a risk multiplier and impacts every single person on our planet. For more @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social data see: climate.copernicus.eu/global-clima... Data visualisation by @annalombardi.bsky.social, inspired by Joy Division and the BBC 🌍🌊🧪⚒️

2025 global climate highlights are out: 🌡️ 2025 was 3rd warmest year on record, 1.47ºC above the preindustrial level 📈 2023-2025 is the first three year period above 1.5ºC (according to ERA5) 🌍 The last 11 years have been the warmest 11 years on record See: climate.copernicus.eu/global-clima... ⚒️🧪🌊

The latest #climate update from Copernicus shows that 2025 is on course to be: - joint 2nd warmest year, tied with 2023 and behind 2024 (warmest year) - November 2025 was the 3rd warmest November globally For more: climate.copernicus.eu/copernicus-2... 🌏🌡️⚒️🧪🌊

Latest #Climate data shows a podium finish for 2025 We are in the decade where the 1.5°C limit is likely to be exceeded, highlighting the accelerating pace of climate change Average global temperature for 2023–2025 is likely to exceed 1.5°C, the first three-year average to do so 🌡️🌏🧪⚒️

Another fantastic #dataviz for the cover of the latest @unep.org #Emissions Gap Report Off Target: - only 1/3 of countries submitted updated NDCs - We are likely to exceed 1.5ºC this decade - analysis of limiting overshoot to 1.8ºC

UN Environment Programme@unep.org · 9mo ago

New national climate plans have barely moved the needle on limiting global warming. Yet there is hope. According to UNEP's latest #EmissionsGap Report, accelerated adoption of renewable energy and falling costs mean we have the tools to cut emissions now: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...
