I just added 2025 to the domain-averaged ocean heat content climatology for several sectors in the tropical Atlantic (the averages now span 2013-2025) -- available at bmcnoldy.earth.miami.edu/tropics/ohc/

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval.
If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

Happy Perihelion! ☀️
Today is a big day for our little planet: it makes its closest approach to the sun of the entire year! This point in the orbit is called #perihelion. Then, on July 6, it will be at its most distant point in its orbit, which is called aphelion.

Tide predictions for 2026 in southeast Florida feature two primary peaks centered on the new and full moons on October 10 and 26. Note that tide predictions are only astronomical/climatological in nature, and do not account for actual weather or ocean conditions which can be significant. [1/3] 🌊🧪

2025 will end up as the warmest year by a substantial 0.8°F margin in #Albuquerque.
The last time the record high was broken by a larger margin was 1950. Important difference: in 1950 there were 57 years in the historical record to compete against... in 2025 there were 132 years to compete against.

#Albuquerque will *obliterate* the record high average monthly temperature for December by a seemingly-impossible margin.
December 2025 will end up at an average temperature of 47.0°F, which is 4.7°F above the previous record high. This would be a typical March, not December.

We just had our coldest morning since moving to Bernalillo NM in April: 19.7°F.
The high of the year was 102.5°F (on June 16).

Trying a lavender-rose martini for this Martini Friday. The rose water, lavender gin, and sanding sugar were all recent gifts, so it was fun to combine them!

This is the first day of winter and has the least amount of daylight in the northern hemisphere, and it's the first day of summer with the most amount of daylight in the southern hemisphere.

The periodic reminder that #Christmas week is typically hot, warm, or at least above freezing for the large majority of the inhabited world.
Many Christmas songs & carols would have you think otherwise.

A really nice analysis of the strange 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.
Lots of excellent data-packed figures.

Here's 10 different views on the 2025 hurricane season from a report we did at Oak Global.
1) ACE was pretty much bang-on average, but the number of hours of Cat 4s was almost double the usual: these contributed nearly all the ACE as we had so few weak Cat 1-2s this year.
