There's a lot of discussion about the Pacific heatwave, and it's good, but check out the Norwegian-Barents-Kara Sea heatwave 🫥 BTW, the great Climate Pulse application has just become even more handy, useful, and beautiful after a little redesign. 🤩

The @metoffice.gov.uk use weather station observations to reconstruct changes in UK average temperature since 1884.

@copernicusecmwf.bsky.social produce the ERA5 reanalysis which reconstructs global weather every hour back to 1950 using a weather forecast model.

Their estimates agree. Just sayin'.

Dear @politico.eu and other media, I think the Flotilla is composed of pro-humanity, pro-decency, pro-moral, pro-international-law activists, rather than just “pro-Palestinian.” Nuance matters here.

Russia [still] - From Goddard Space Flight Center - https://flic.kr/p/nYjMge

Sarychev Peak Eruption, Kuril Islands, Russia

On June 12, 2009, a fortuitous orbit of the International Space Station (ISS) made it possible for an astronaut on board to capture Sarychev Volcano in the early stages of eruption. The volcano is located on the northwestern end of Matua Island, which is part of the Kuril Islands, a chain of 56 islands northeast of Japan. The eruption sent a plume of brown-colored ash and white steam rising into the atmosphere. The plume was so immense that it cast a large shadow on the island. Sarychev is one of the most active volcanoes in the Kuril Island chain. Prior to June 12, the last explosive eruption occurred in 1989, with eruptions in 1986, 1976, 1954, and 1946 also producing lava flows. Watch the video to see how the eruption looked from space.

España es el frutero de Europa, pero para producir fruta y verdura necesitamos agua. Por tanto, ¿también exportamos agua? Sí, y no nos sobra.
