Extreme fire weather days are increasing worldwide.
Since 1979, days with FWI > p95 have risen globally, closely tracking global warming.
More heat → more fire-conducive conditions.

Meanwhile, Spain's massive investment in renewables is paying dividends now: with prices for Spanish industry and consumers low and stable compared with other European economies.

Un niño ugandés que fue apadrinado por una familia australiana, que lo apoyó hasta que se convirtió en médico. 36 años después se encuentran. El video es conmovedor.

La solidaridad, fraternidad, gratitud y la empatía, siguen siendo los valores que nos hacen humanos.

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.

This is an interesting result, but we argued in a paper last year that North Pacific jet trends are not inconsistent with observed low frequency variability. A southward trend ended just as the satellite era began.

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

56 million years ago, the Earth suddenly heated up – and many plants stopped working properly It could be a sign of what’s to come.

When global temperatures shot up by ~6°C about 56 million years ago, plants were unable to thrive

The reduced ability of vegetation & soils to capture & store carbon may have kept temperatures elevated for >100,000 years

Today Earth is warming ~10 times faster than it did 56 million years ago

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.

Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.

ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

Vietnam sees 35 rainfall records broken in October - VnExpress International Vietnam's northern and central regions saw a total of 35 rain records broken in October alone as two storms, Matmo and Fengshen, caused unprecedented downpours.

The Vietnamese Bach Ma Mountain Peak station recorded one-day rainfall of 1,739 mm - close to the global one-day record and perhaps a new record for the northern hemisphere. It is part of a deluge Viet Nam has seen in October, shattering 35 precip records. e.vnexpress.net/news/news/en...

Figure from a Hydrology and Earth System Sciences article about projections of drought in Australia, showing much larger changes for a drought index that includes potential evapotranspiration (SPEI) than for one that only includes precipitation (SPI).

This is a common finding when studying drought in the recent instrumental record and in future projections: much more change in metrics that include the impacts of warming (on vapor-pressure deficit and potential evapotranspiration) when compared to changes in precipitation alone.

📣 Summer low flows decreased in Germany in the last 5 decades and increases in evapotranspiration played a role in that, esp in less humid areas.

"Cada vez son más los estudios que demuestran que las comunidades vegetales y suelos sanos contribuyen al ciclo hídrico y a enfriar las temperaturas a escala local y regional, mientras que la degradación del suelo puede provocar sequías y temperaturas más altas."

How much would weather forecasts gain from more in-situ observations in some countries?
Experiments we have carried out for the UN’s Systematic Observations Financing Facility (SOFF) show that the benefits would be significant. Find out more here ➡️ www.ecmwf.int/en/about/med...
