Het is (weer) droog deze zomer, nu te zien aan de blaadjes die te vroeg van de bomen vallen. 🍂🍂
Dit weerbeeld past bij wat we verwachten van klimaatverandering in Nederland: minder zomerneerslag, warmer en daardoor meer verdamping. ☀️🌡️ 🥵

Vroege herfstkleuren en blaadjes op straat door toenemende droogte
Door de droge omstandigheden laten veel bomen hun blad al vallen, terwijl ze dat normaal gesproken pas over een maand doen.

We use 1600 years of large ensemble climate & energy simulations to identify weather regimes causing co-occurring renewable energy droughts in Europe. Understanding these weather-energy links is key to designing a reliable future energy system.

Het is april, dat betekent dat het groeiseizoen van start gaat. Op het KNMI gaan we het neerslagtekort bijhouden, om een eventuele droogte te signaleren. Dit jaar waren februari en maart echter ook a droog, een ongunstige water-start dus. nos.nl/l/2561973
Recorddroge maand luidt droogteseizoen in, maar de regenton raakt al langer leeg
Op 1 april begint traditioneel het monitoren van de droogte, al is het de vraag of klimaatverandering Nederland niet dwingt om dat moment naar voren te halen.

Goulart et al. explore the effectiveness of storylines in evaluating adaptation strategies for extreme climate events. They highlight how these narrative-based approaches can complement traditional climate risk assessments by showcasing the consequences of each adaptation strategy selected, quantifying residual impacts and testing robustness across different scenarios. This research offers insights for policymakers and communities, emphasizing the importance of integrating narrative approaches in climate adaptation planning to make informed decisions that better protect communities.
