Things are really not good around the North Pole. Anomalous warmth continues, alongside record low #Arctic sea ice conditions. Nearly every time I check the data, there seems to be yet another new record this fall.

Looking back over the last 6 months, most latitude bands observed above average temperatures, except near the South Pole.

NSF-supported Unidata announced that almost their entire staff will be furloughed as of today. This is a huge threat to weather education and research at universities--Unidata provides crucial realtime data feeds of weather data, including satellite, radar, and observations.
This is a seismic gut punch to the weather enterprise.
It is impossible to overstate how important @unidata.bsky.social is in implementing many datasets/libraries (LDM, netCDF, THREDDS, metPy) we currently use in meteorological research & operations.

Incredibly moving. 1000s of Lithuanians lined the streets of the capital Vilnius yesterday to honor the four US soldiers killed on their soil.
As their bodies are repatriated to the US, their President will be nowhere to be seen, except on a Florida golf course.

Using Oregon as an example, note the 1991-2020 (light green) line versus the 1941-1970 (dark blue) or 1951-1980 (orange) lines. What changed is that January warmed dramatically starting in about 1980.

This point can't be stressed enough. The ups and downs of California's annual rain/snow totals haven't changed much—but every drought is now higher-impact, as the ever-warmer atmosphere parches the landscape more. Moreover, SoCal's wet seasons are shortening and dry seasons are lengthening.
As climate change increases the risk of dry conditions and fire weather, fires across western NAm are bigger, more dangerous, and burning greater area.
It’s the difference between accidentally dropping a match into a pile of green, wet wood versus dropping it into a stack of bone dry kindling.
