European lightning deaths skew toward males (77.8%), teens, and SE Europe (especially Bulgaria), finds a #WeaClimateSoc study by researchers at @essl-ecss.bsky.social. Of 1,282 recorded lightning fatalities over 2001-2020, many were farm workers or hikers.

New ESSL study: Lightning kills about 64 people per year across Europe, 78% of them being men. In eastern Europe most victims were at work, whilst in West Europe people engaging in leisure activities are hit more often. Read more in our article here: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

The sad news reached us that Chuck Doswell has passed away. ESSL will be forever grateful for his intensive engagement. With his unique talent to reduce severe storm science to its core and his engaging style of teaching and friendliness he has made an enormous impact on European storm research.

Last week we organized the first edition of the course on storm microphysics and radar meteorology, which was taught by Matt Kumjian of Pennsylvania State University. The course combined Matt's lectures with case studies using our new radar displayer developed by @bramvantveen.bsky.social
