This is phenomenal.
Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.
It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

Insurance sector is the true ‘canary in the capitalist coal mine’ - it knows that 3C heating breaks society and the economy that’s meant to serve it
“At 3C of global heating, climate damage cannot be insured against, covered by governments, or adapted to. That means no more mortgages or new real estate devt, no long-term investment, no financial stability. The financial sector as we know it ceases to function and capitalism ceases to be viable.”
Climate crisis on track to destroy capitalism, warns top insurer
Action urgently needed to save the conditions under which markets – and civilisation itself – can operate, says senior Allianz figure

The extreme winter warming event continues in the northernmost portions of the #Arctic. This is related to a temporary surge of heat and moisture that was transported northward and is related to the orientation of the large-scale atmospheric circulation.
