Eric Wright - asking for needed change

Putting out things relative to climate change (try to keep to good science). Stopping it keeps nature and people—some other issues.

Wednesday El Niño update - Sea surface temperature anomalies continue to steadily rise in the key Niño 3.4 monitoring area, which also remain at record high levels for this time of year. Over the last week, there has been a general warming across the central Pacific. Data from NOAA OISSTv2.1. 🌊

Line graph time series of daily sea surface temperature anomalies in the Nino3.4 region. Years are shown from 1982 to 2025 in shades of blue to light yellow, and 2026 is shown in red. Climatologically, the largest anomalies are during the boreal winter in terms of magnitude. Data is from OISSTv2.1. Map of July 21, 2026 average sea surface temperature anomalies in the ENSO monitoring regions. Data is from NOAA OISSTv2.1 with anomalies relative to a 1991-2020 baseline.Graphic showing the 1-week change in sea surface temperature anomalies across the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean.

Is that band due to air mixing over the land ice? Which makes me afraid (does a huge piece need to fall before they look)

All latitude bands, except in the Antarctic, observed above average temperatures last month. Departures were largest around the edge of the Arctic Circle. [Plot shows zonal-mean surface air temperature anomalies, where latitude = y-axis (not scaled by distance). Data from GISTEMPv4.]

Bar graph showing zonal mean surface air temperature anomalies for the period July 2026. Most all latitude bands observed above average temperature anomalies, especially in the Northern Hemisphere.

The sum for the outside is close to the inside also it is thinner. The mass of the Arctic keeps it stable. We, Canada and others are getting spicks of cold.

Long-term trends in July #Arctic sea ice concentration are more extensive and begin to surround the central Arctic, including areas like the Beaufort, Chukchi, East Siberian, Laptev, Kara, and Barents Seas. Sea ice concentration = fraction of ice-cover. More info: doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...

Polar stereographic map showing Arctic sea ice concentration trends for Julys from 1979 to 2025. Red shading is shown for deceasing sea ice, and blue shading is shown for increasing sea ice. Trends are calculated in % per decade. All areas are observing decreasing sea ice in the outer edges of the Arctic Ocean.

It had been low for so long. This is part of why the cold north drips down to the south. And a week jet stream ( some of the reasons for heat domes)

Friday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently tied for the *2nd* lowest on record for the present date. Over the last week, the most rapid declines have been along the Atlantic ice edge as well as in the Hudson Bay. More graphics at zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i.... A lot happening!

Heat being locked in like this is a taste of our future. Can not stop all, but we will learn (🤔) higher is not good.

Another historic heat dome. Temperature anomalies that exceed the color table during summer is never good a thing - stay cool and safe from this unprecedented heat wave! See more at meteofrance.com/actualites-e... and www.metoffice.gov.uk/blog/2026/ho.... Map from karstenhaustein.com/climate

Some of the hot temperature bring change that are not bring fixed by blue ones. (lose thick sea ice , permafrost and even land ice)

#Arctic air temperature rank by month over the satellite era - now updated through May 2026... + Ranks: 1=warmest (red), 47/48=coldest (blue) + Download higher resolution: zacklabe.com/arctic-tempe... + Data from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social: doi.org/10.24381/cds...

Heat map-style graphic showing monthly air temperature rankings in the Arctic at the 925 hPa level for each month from January 1979 to May 2026. There is a long-term warming trend evident in each month. Blue shading is shown for colder months, and red shading is shown for warmer months. A yellow number is shown for each grid box to display the actual temperature ranking. May 2026 was the 18th warmest May on record.

With the new high temperature, new things ( streams & rigid patterns like heat domes) or new places.

Sea surface temperatures in a key monitoring region for El Niño continue already at record high levels for this time of year. This is due to the long-term warming of the tropics (human-caused climate change), as well as the growing +ENSO event. Data from NOAA OISSTv2.1: psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded...

Line graph time series of daily sea surface temperature anomalies in the Nino3.4 region. Years are shown from 1982 to 2025 in shades of blue to light yellow, and 2026 is shown in red. Climatologically, the largest anomalies are during the boreal winter in terms of magnitude. Data is from OISSTv2.1.
