Looking for a #PhD in #ClimateExtremes?
We are advertising a project attributing causes of recent #droughts using counter-factual storylines.

👻🎃 It's that time of year again, time to start thinking about #EGU26!
🔥🌧️🌀 Our session on Future Changes in Weather and Climate Hazards is now open for abstract submissions 🔥🌧️🌀

Experiencing extreme heat first hand today in Cantabria, and the 5 year old is enjoying quizzing me on a topic I am happy to discuss in detail - but I'm not sure if these could be fire clouds on the horizon?

This week marks my last few days working at KNMI, after a fantastic few years exploring new methods with amazing colleagues and collaborators it's time for the next challenge. First, a holiday ☀️⛰️🚴‍♂️

📣 New paper:
💧💧💧 In July 2021 record breaking rainfall hit western Europe, we use ensemble boosting to explore different plausible storylines. These show it could have rained for longer, or over a larger area, or in a different place. Are we prepared?

🌡️☀️ It is hot in Europe this week – but how much hotter would it be in the future? Using a weather model we can simulate tomorrow’s weather in a warmer climate. Tomorrow Paris is forecast to reach 37°C, in a world 1.5°C warmer the same weather patterns could lead to temperatures over 40°C.

#ShowYourStripes day on a #parkrun day made it easy to pick out a shirt.

Climate change impacts sports. Extreme heat, happening increasingly often, forces events to adjust or cancel with little notice. Climate change impacts everyone.

Today we present an online tool for identifying circulation analogues, now available on Climate Explorer. I'll be at my #EGU25 poster, at X5.171, from 1615 (or after 1800 with my small assistant).

Are you interested in extreme event attribution and attending #EGU25? Come along to our networking session to discuss the strengths and challenges of different methods.

Once again, I am taking my daughter to #EGU25. She has been busy making extreme weather posters 'just like mama'. Any other (ideally english/dutch speaking) ~5 yr olds booked into the childcare, who might fancy some lunchtime picnics?

Planning your #EGU25 travel? If you're interested in extreme event attribution, make sure to stay until Friday to come along to our networking session to discuss the value of multiple methods. @marylouathanase.bsky.social

In @wwattribution.bsky.social report on the LA wildfires this January we show the frequency and intensity of the atmospheric circulation of the event has increased in winter, raising the risk of weather conditions that drive the spread of wildfire.

This week at school Fritha is learning about polar animals... 'Mama and Dada have seen penguins in the wild, but only Dada has seen polar bears'. Perhaps not what her teacher expected!

Congratulations to @raedhamed.bsky.social for successfully defending his PhD! He carried out important research on the impacts of compound weather events on crop yields, looking forward to seeing the next stages of his research 🌽☀️🫘🌧️

We show fire weather – that is the meteorological conditions conducive to wildfires spreading – is increasing in the SE England. With climate projections showing rising temperatures and decreasing rainfall in summer, this trend is likely to continue.

🌍🔥🌧️🌡️🌀 One week left to submit #EGU25 abstracts 🌀🌡️🌧️🔥🌍

Join our session on future weather and climate hazards!

Featuring talks from Aglaé Jézéquel & Dominik Schumacher

...there is evidence that storms similar to #StormBert, identified by surface pressure patterns, are becoming more common. Taking the top 5% most similar days there is an increase of 0.05 events/year (or 1 extra events annually every 20 years). (2/2)

#StormBert is bringing strong winds, rain, and snow to parts of Ireland and the UK over the weekend. Similar events have happened before, such as Storm Diana in 2018, but... (1/2)

Hi Bluesky, I've come over here to share our #EGU25 session. Are you researching weather and climate hazards? Submit an abstract to tell us about it! @tamarahappe.bsky.social @eunicelo.bsky.social @kornhuber.bsky.social
