ClimatePulse has been updated!

Still with @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social #ERA5 and two days behind real time. New layout, with better maps, easier to display different regions and compare different years data.

Let us know if you have feedback for future updates 🌏🌊⚒️🧪🌡️

Check it out 👇

New @eea.europa.eu report on #environment and #climate
is a shocking read ...
🍃 EU’s “carbon sink” has declined by 30% in a decade as logging, wildfires and pests damage forests
💧 Water stress already affects one in three Europeans
🦡 > 80% of protected habitats are in poor/bad state

Latest data from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social show that August 2025 was the third warmest on record globally (after 2023 and 2024).

Europe had its fourth warmest summer season, with some countries such as the UK having their warmest summer on record.

Excellent #dataviz of European summer #wildfires by the @data.ft.com team

Our warmer world is increasing the risk of wildfires through
🌡️ More frequent and intense heatwaves
🔥 Droughts and hotter, dryer springs/summers lead to dryer soils and fuel loads

Much warmer in the Bering Strait, Canadian Arctic and south of Greenland in August 2025 compared with August 2024. Maps from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social ClimatePulse

Heatwaves in June 2025 were intensified by record breaking Mediterranean temperatures more than 5°C above average

Impacts of marine #heatwaves:
🪸🐠 heat stress in marine ecosystems
🌊 📉 reduce oxygen levels effecting ocean industries
🥵 Increase humidity, ⬆️ heat stress for people
➕many more

The dashed box shows the domain used to compute the time series shown in the figure below. Data source: ERA5. Credit: C3S/ECMWF. Daily sea surface temperature anomalies (°C) averaged over the western Mediterranean basin from 1979 to 30 June 2025. The year 2025 is highlighted in dark red and 2023 in light red.

🌡️ June 2025 was the 3rd warmest June globally

🥵 June 2025 saw an exceptional #heatwave impact large parts of western Europe

🌊 This heatwave was made more intense by record ocean temperatures.

#climate change means heatwaves are:
🌞more frequent,
📈 more intense &
🌍 impact more people

Anomalies and extremes in the average surface air temperature between 17 June and 2 July 2025. The extreme categories (‘coolest’ and ‘warmest’) are based on rankings of average temperatures for the same 16 days during 1979–2024. The other categories describe how the temperatures compare to the distribution of these temperatures during the 1991–2020 reference period. ‘Much cooler/warmer than average’ - cooler/warmer than 90% of temperatures. ‘Cooler/warmer than average’ - than 66% of temperatures. ‘Near average’ - within the middle 33%.
