The 2024–2025 State of Wildfires report shows a paradox: less land burned, but record carbon released.
ECMWF scientists analysed what drove wildfire events and generated air-quality datasets.

The @wmo-global.bsky.social Global State of the Water Resources 2024 Report includes a contribution from #ECMWF. We provided data from both ECMWF’s ecLand and Copernicus EMS GloFAS, and 10 other global hydrological modelling systems, to build a global picture of changing river discharge in 2024.🧵

🌡️ June 2025 was the 3rd warmest June globally
🥵 June 2025 saw an exceptional #heatwave impact large parts of western Europe
🌊 This heatwave was made more intense by record ocean temperatures.
#climate change means heatwaves are:
🌞more frequent,
