INSANE HEAT IN MIDDLE EAST

Crazy MINIMUM TEMPERATURE 38.3C Tuz IRAQ

Dozens of stations allover Middle East (Iran,Iraq,Kuwait,Emirates) with Minimums >35C

Max. temperatures expected up to 52C. Nights up to 40C !
Historic heat wave,one of the worst ever seen anywhere worldwide
it 'll last weeks

Western Europe is experiencing its second heatwave of the summer. For the continent as a whole, this June is likely to be one of the five warmest on record.

And it hardly even seems newsworthy, but the global mean surface temperature two days ago, on April 24th, hit a new record daily high according to ERA5 data.

The Climate 8-ball doesn't know who is in charge and is refusing to make predictions.

As a result, we can expect:

* Cons leaning harder to the far right.
* Someone even worse after Poilievre.
* Tax cuts for the wealthy.
* Subsidies and tax breaks for corporations and tax havens.
* Pipelines, baby! Climate an afterthought.
* No more things like dental/pharma plans.

Good:

* Poilievre isn't Prime Minister.
* Poilevre lost his own seat.

Bad:

* Everything has shifted substantially rightward.
* 40% of popular vote and +20 seats for Cons.
* Basically a two-party parliament of centre right and far right.
* Left leaning parties wiped out.

Get ready for the European State of the Climate 2024 release on April 15, covering a great range of climate variables for Europe and the Arctic—temperature, flooding, wildfires, glaciers, renewable energy, and more!

Stay tuned!

Global sea surface temperatures are at their lowest since June 2023 as weak La Nina-like pattern persists. However, we didn't see the greater cooling expected from what was predicted to be a more substantial La Nina event.
The problem remains the steady long-term warming!

Vaccines are one of the most important inventions humans have ever made. Period.

9 of the first 10 months this year, and 15 of the last 16 months exceeded 1.5°C global average surface air temperature compared to pre-industrial levels.

Estensione dei ghiacci marini, situazione al 16 novembre. Nelle aree cerchiate di nero la concentrazione di banchisa è ben inferiore al 15%, questo significa che rispetto alla media climatica 1981-2010 mancano circa 1.8 mln di kmq di ghiaccio. Il ricongelamento autunnale è ogni anno più lento... 1/2

"Global warming reached an estimated 1.45°C in October 2024.

If the 15-year warming trend leading up to then continued, global warming would reach 2°C by August 2039"

The trend line reaches above IPCC projections.

@copernicusecmwf.bsky.social ERA5 temp data relative to 1850-1900.

🚨 Last month was the 2nd warmest October on record globally. It was the *warmest* if only considering land areas. Yikes!

+ Data from NOAAGlobalTemp version 6.0.0: www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/lan...
+ Check out the NOAA State of the Climate Report for last month: www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monit...

November has observed some of the largest temperature trends in the #Arctic, especially over areas with decreasing sea ice cover. Arctic amplification is largest in the boreal fall.

If you see red, that means it's warming.
