Absolutely insane footage of rock avalanches currently sweeping across the entire south face of the Matterhorn, as filmed from Cervinia! 🔥😱 📽️ Via @meteovalledosta

RECORD-BREAKING WARM NIGHT IN AUSTRIA 🔥🌙 With a low of 28.7°C, the Hornstein station shattered all records in Austria! Previous national record was 26.9°C, and Burgenland record was 25.0°C! Mind-blowing to break records by such a wide margin! 😲 Via @wetterblogat.bsky.social

0 mm... Driest July on record at Kew (SW London) since 1800! 💧🔥 1800 also recorded no measurable rainfall, but July 2026 was the hottest month on record, which results in a combination very impressive for the area! 😲 Please note that the local records go back to 1697! ⏱️ 📈 Via @metjam.co.uk

Ferpècle Glacier (Val d'Hérens, Valais) 2016 | 2026 The worst decade ever! 🧊🔥 Valley glaciers have virtually disappeared from the Alps (except the five largest)! 😰 To think that this glacier was connected to Mont Miné Gl. until 1956! ⏱️ 📷 2026 pic (taken today) by Sandra Belin-Gorsic 🙏

From Rocciamelone (3,538 m, Graian Alps) Aug. 2026 | Aug. 2013 Astonishing demise of one of the main glaciers in the Upper Maurienne Valley over last decade View towards Pte de Charbonnel (3,752 m asl), highest peak in the Graian Alps (see also: bsky.app/profile/subf...) 📷Via @meteoinpiemonte

Love this view of the Avérole Valley showcasing the perfect pyramid of the ice-capped Pointe de Charbonnel (3,752 m asl), the highest peak in the Graian Alps! 🏔️🧊 Background left is Baounet Glacier, one of the largest of the Upper Maurienne Valley 📷 Paul Helbronner (first decade of the 20th c.) ⏳

Current state of Arcouzan Glacier below N face of Mont Valier (2838 m, Ariege)! 🏔🧊 The easternmost and one of the smallest, lowermost and most remote in the Pyrenees!

Taconnaz and Bossons glaciers towered by Aiguille du Midi tonight! 🤩 📷 @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social

Mer de Glace 1992 | 2026 Largest French glacier, 32 years ago and today! 😭 Glacier retreat 100% due to anthropogenic activity over this period! 📷 via @MiguelMorenatti

0.7°C at 5:30 am at 4750 m asl! 🔥 Crazy temp this morning on Mt Blanc... 🌡🥵

First time I'd seen my study site from so high up! 🏔️🤍 Wild view of Arsine glacier and its proglacial lakes few days ago from top of the headwall! 🧊🔥 To learn the full story of this small piece of ice during the Holocene, see here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Tree rings are the best proxies for Holocene climate reconstruction! 🌲💍 This work shows that Northern Hemisphere Common Era natural variability was ca 4°C, extended to 5.5 °C during the 21st century! 🔥 What are considered "warm periods" (RWP, MCA) aren't really that hot compared to the 21st c.! 📈

Today's aerial view of the Tour Ronde rock avalanche deposit that occurred last sunday! 😲 An allegory of a north face of a 3,800 m peak in the 21st century... not a single ounce of ice left! 🔥🧊 📷 Gilles Léger 🙏

Glacier Noir (Écrins Massif) 18th Aug. 1953 | 19th July 2026 Debris-covered glaciers are no exception! 🧊🔥 The hanging glacier of the Coolidge east face no longer exists btw ✝️ 📷 1953: Eaux et Forêts

I've never seen anything like it. Salta, Argentina, has just recorded its hottest night on record during the climatologically coldest time of the year. The minimum overnight temperature did not fall below 26°C (78.8°F), pulverizing the previous monthly record by 7°C.

A rock avalanche of impressive magnitude took place yesterday (July 19) on the north face of Tour Ronde (3,793 m asl) ! 🔥 A summit where this kind of events became recurrent in recent years with warming permafrost... 📽️ Maxim Foygel

Barre des Ecrins (4,102 m asl) from top of Pic du Glacier Blanc (3,527 m asl) yesterday ! 😍 Aside from the feeling of facing a gorgeous glacial landscape, snow conditions are apocalyptic for July, with a snowline already ~3,100 m! 🧊🔥 Likely on track to set a new ice ablation record this year! 📈

Glacier du Casset (NE Face Les Agneaux, 3,664 m asl) Juillet 2007 | Juillet 2026 At this pace in the Alps, all mountain glaciers (≠ valley glaciers) located entirely below 3,500 m will be gone within next two decades at most! 🧊🔥

Meije orientale (3,891 m asl) and Homme Glacier at sunset today! 🥰

La Meije (3,983 m asl) this evening! 😍 Drier than ever! 🧊🔥

Love this view of the Avérole Valley showcasing the perfect pyramid of the ice-capped Pointe de Charbonnel (3,752 m asl), the highest peak in the Graian Alps! 🏔️🧊 Background left is Baounet Glacier, one of the largest of the Upper Maurienne Valley 📷 Paul Helbronner (first decade of the 20th c.) ⏳

View across Tour Glacier towered by Le Chardonnet (3,824 m asl) from above the Albert 1er hut today! 🧊🔥 Proglacial lake in formation (right)! 🌊 📷 @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social

The Mont Pourri (3,779 m) and Dôme de la Sache (3,591 m) glacier complex a few days ago! 🏔️🧊 Mind-blowing withdrawal of what was once one of the most beautiful glacial systems in the Vanoise (Gurraz/Savinaz Gl.)! 🔥

After three heatwaves since May, we are living in France the worst drought in history! 🔥💧 Soil moisture has reached level unprecedented this early in the summer — exceeding the levels recorded in 1976, 2022, and 2025 on the same date! 📈 Via @MystereMeteo

🫗 The Rhine at Lobith has now reached its lowest discharge ever recorded *in the entire summer* (June–August).

Dent Blanche (4,357 m asl, VS) July 2014 | July 2026 It's hard not to be moved by what we've done to these places in such a short time...💔 📷 2026: @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social

This what La Niche des Drus looks like amid this scorching summer! Vanished...🔥 This 200 m-high (usually) snow/ice steep ramp enclosed in the NW face of Les Drus, has seen two ski descents in history ⛷️ Seeing it like this, you wonder how it was even possible! 📷 @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social

5:00 am, the 'White Hour' over Mont Blanc few days ago! 🧊🤍

Current state of Zinal Glacier front! 🤍 No more proper ice cave like in the recent past 🧊 Crazy amount of meltwater! 🔥🌊 📷 @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social

Les Droites north face (4,000 m asl) July 1995 | July 2026 Still same names, but, never again the same mountains... 🏔️🔥 📷 1995: Andrew Walker

Dent Blanche NE face today! 🏔 Dry as hell... 🔥 The connection between Grand Cornier Glacier and Zinal Gl. is about to cut. 📷 @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social
