Another record breaking #heatwave bakes #Europe. Temps will reach 45C / 113F in #France under the #heatdome. 1000s of records expected. Here’s a look at the day by day #heatwave forecast in degrees C and F. Europe is the fastest warming continent, warming twice as fast as the global average and record heatwaves are increasing fast on the continent.

Florida will be hoarding rain over the next 2 weeks. Some spots may see over a foot! Here’s a detailed look, city by city, at what the latest European model is predicting. These totals won’t be exact, just a general idea of what to expect. One thing seems certain: some major #drought relief is coming! #florida #tropical #rain #storm #florida

There’s been a lot of chatter about the cold blue blob in the North Atlantic lately. Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf 🌏 🦣 just published a paper very recently. The cold blob (warming hole) is not new. But perhaps against the backdrop of blazing red El Niño maps, people are noticing it more. That’s good. It’s a big deal, a canary in the coal mine. Here’s a level headed discussion on the latest science on the #AMOC - potential collapse - yes the cold blue blob in the N Atlantic is very likely due to a slowing of that vital circulation which is responsible for 25% of Northward heat transport. That’s a lot. So any major disruption is a major problem. Maybe watch it at like 1.25-1.5X the speed because my pace was a little slow.

The strongest El Niño in 150 years? Yes, it’s legitimately possible. Not hype. In fact, the “median” forecast for December of all of our computer models combined is slightly “above” the biggest event we know of back in 1877. (+2.9 vs +2.7 using ONI) While this peak intensity may or may not occur, all signs are pointing to a Super El Niño - a “natural” oscillation. That will expel stored heat from the deep Tropical Pacific - on top of significant longterm warming - heating Earth to record levels not measured before in late 2026-2027, powering extreme heat waves, droughts, and rain storms… while also suppressing Atlantic hurricane season 1/ #ElNino #extremeweather #science

Wait. For. It. NASA animation shows Global temperatures warm slowly at first, then rapidly. Warming is accelerating! Here’s the truth. It’s real. It’s us. And we have to come to terms with it, and deal with reality, rather than deceiving ourselves, and hoping it goes away. It won’t… without intervention. #climate #globalwarming #science #climatechange

Record (literally) Heat Dome for May builds over West-Central #Europe the next several days. Peak temperatures will reach 15° above normal in Spain, France and Germany as well as surrounding areas. Maximum temperatures will reach 39°C/ 102°F into next week, with the highest in SW Spain. #heatwave

The “Cold Blob” and talk of the collapse of a vital ocean current has been all over the news lately. New research confirms the peculiar cold blob is a canary in a coalmine for our climate. A collapse would cause climate chaos. But how likely is it? Here’s a very simple video about how the AMOC works, the latest science, the tipping point, and what collapse would mean to Earth’s climate. #AMOC #climatechange #science #STEM

We say #snowmageddon as a joke, but if ever there was a time to use it, it’s now!! Watch as the West Coast gets bombarded by at least 5 storms in 15 days, with up to 15 feet of snow in the high Sierra, and that may be an underestimate if the models verify. NWS says 8 feet possible by Wednesday. Incredible! #snow

Get ready to rock and roll! A Sudden Stratospheric Warming is on the way. In about two weeks, temperatures 12 miles up over Canada and Greenland are forecast to spike by 50°F or more. That’s a shockwave in the stratosphere — a rapid disruption of the polar vortex high above the Arctic. When the vortex gets rattled like this, it can send ripples downward through the atmosphere, reshaping the jet stream and eventually stirring up turbulent, high-impact weather patterns at the surface all around the planet. Not every SSW delivers extreme cold or storms, but events this strong often tip the atmosphere into a more chaotic setup in the weeks that follow.

Huge Pacific Heatwave - larger than North America - with record heat spanning 6,000 miles across, peaking in the East Pacific. The highest anomalies are near the Galápagos Islands, a clear sign a mighty El Niño is beginning. This excess heat infused in the climate system throws everything off-kilter globally, making heatwaves more extreme, floods more intense, but also subduing Atlantic hurricane season. #elnino #heatwave #pacific

Epic snowfall in the Pacific NW!! ❄️ Over the next 10 days up to 10 feet will pile up on the higher terrain of British Columbia and Washington. Then another several feet in the 10-15 day period. And it doesn’t stop there. Oregon Montana Wyoming N Cali too! #Whistler #Blackcomb

Watch as a very odd and amplified pattern Omega Block pattern torments forecasters and everyone in its way for the next two weeks! Winter 🥶 in summer in the Northeast! Tropical moisture poised for #Florida but instead shoved into the western Gulf! All kinds of shifts that make a forecaster pull one’s hair out, all due to a very high amplitude blocky pattern over Central Canada. The result is Warm Central Canada, Cold air pours into Eastern Canada and the Eastern US Seaboard, and Tropical moisture in Gulf forced into Texas instead of Florida.

Neighbors: Cat 5 #Milton is now just 100s of miles away, pushing huge surge toward our coast, promising to be the most devastating storm here in 100+years. The exact landfall location will be elusive, wobbling up to landfall. Life is precious and fleeting. Be smart. Stay safe.

❄️ By definition this will be a Bomb cyclone, and it now looks to become a paralyzing coastal #blizzard for New England, Long Island, and perhaps coastal New Jersey and New York City. Many will receive over a foot of snow Sunday into Monday. Coastal gusts in SE New England may reach #hurricane force 75mph+. This is the latest Hi-Res GRAF (IBM) available as of 4pm Friday. In my opinion it’s likely too far north and west with the heaviest snow, so take snow totals N/W of NYC with a grain of salt, for now, until we get closer to the storm. Still coastal locations in Long Island and SE New England will likely see 1-2 feet! One more note: I love snow, so for me, no snow is too much despite what the legend says :) ❄️ #snow #storm Tri-State Weather Adam tocksin

This weekend looks brutal across #Florida! As cold as I can remember. A bomb cyclone, with the “potential” for very heavy Southeast Coast #snow, will propel bitterly cold air south into the state. The real possibility exists for wind chills ranging from the single digits north to 20s as far south as Miami on Sunday. Stay tuned!

A super cool phenomenon is happening today, as a strong cold front dives into the Gulf! Called Tehuano Winds - wind is funneled through the Isthmus of Tehuantepec mountain gap in S Mexico - becoming a wind firehose into the Pacific, with gusts 💨 reaching near hurricane force. These winds bring rough seas, upwell nutrients, and sometimes, when they happen early enough in autumn, can help spawn the spin needed to aid hurricane formation. Science!!

⚠️ One of the highest impact storms in recent memory this weekend! ⚠️ This is not hype. The shear size of the area impacted, and more importantly the southern reach, has the potential to cripple communities for days. The setup: extremely cold Artic Air forced south. A vigorous subtropical moisture stream forced north. Where they meet, thick #ice 🧊 in the South, heavy #snow ❄️ on the north side. Ice up to 2” thick? Snow to 18”? It’s all possible, the question is exactly where. Too early for #storm specifics. A note for folks in the Northeast, this movie only goes through Sunday night. More ❄️ possible Monday!

COLD & SNOWY EUROPE! Brutal cold across Northern Europe (20°C below normal now) will overspread most of Europe soon, with cold dropping into the #Mediterranean, #Italy and the #Balkans. Over the next 10 days heavy snow will fall in spots with over 100 CM in parts of the Balkans and 50cm+ over the Alps and central Italian mountain ranges. This is all due to unusually warm air over Greenland, called the Greenland Block. It will displace cold air South over Europe and make for a wintry stretch for ~10 days #fyp #olympics #Europe #Weather #cold #snow
