A dinosaur perk was that worn teeth got replaced. A section of the lower jaw of a big iguanodontian from the #IsleofWight shows the process. Tooth replacement was organised in waves known as Zahnreihen, so that large sections of the jaw weren’t left toothless (enlarge to see numbers). #FossilFriday

They are now close to dying & the British state doesn't care.

More than half of October gone and it is currently running a mean temperature of 10.6C in the Lomond Hills. That's 0.3C warmer than my warmest October, in 2022.....and a whopping 4.3C warmer than my coldest October, in 2012. #Fife

Putting the signs out again this evening, and back on daily fire patrols 🙄 Just 27mm of rain in March. 16mm so far in April. The rivers are low, there's hardly any snow, and there's no meaning precipitation looking likely any time soon. Dire.

Another winter done, and here's the data. The mean temperature of 3.9C made it my 6th warmest winter. 0.1C cooler than last winter but some way behind the crazy warm winters of 16/17, 18/19, 19/20 and 21/22. As with all other seasons, nights are warming faster than days. #Fife

Whilst most of Europe sees a dramatic warming next week a great cooling will descend in southeast with low temperatures and snowfall. Temperatures will fall as much as 40C in highlands of Turkey. Summer to winter! Very extreme.

It did not rise above -10C in far north of Finland in contrast 30C temps were experienced in Bulgaria, the earliest in history. A snow cover fell down to modest elevations in Massif Central, France.

Hopefully the worst is over for the NHS this winter, but thousands of people are dying each year due to ambulance and A&E delays.
