An exceptionally sunny July in western Europe: SARAH-3 data show strong positive sunshine duration anomalies across northern France, southern England and Ireland. Locally, values exceeded 250% of the long-term average, more than 2.5 times the usual July amount.

Interesting! Kind of drives me crazy when people just say, ‘the forecast is always wrong’. My advice is to check the forecast for your location of interest but also always try to get a feeling for the larger picture.

What does one satellite look like from another's point of view? On 18 Jul we found out! MTG-S1 & Meteosat-12 share an orbital slot 36,000km up & sometimes cross paths. The IRS on MTG-S1 caught Meteosat-12 over Timbuktu, Mali. ⬇️ The image is low-res, but you see Meteosat-12's solar panels/antennas.

I had an appointment cancelled today because the other person was dealing with flooding after extreme rainfall. It's a reminder that climate change will increasingly disrupt our daily routines and our economies if we don’t reduce emissions now.
