Another study by Bischof et al. 2023 found in dedicated model simulations "that cold subpolar North Atlantic sea surface temperatures significantly increase heat wave duration and magnitude downstream over the European continent." ⬇️ https://t.co/5y1IiQmpH6 #climatechange #heatwaves #NorthAtlantic #EU

Bruno Van der Linden, economist at UCLouvain, discusses the impact of climate change on workers, highlighting the significant drop in productivity due to heatwaves in Europe and criticizing the ideological and economic barriers that hinder effective action against global warming, while advocating for measures to facilitate the transition from carbon-intensive jobs to greener alternatives. #ChangementsClimatiques #Travailleurs #Décarbonation

Given that most models underestimate the severity of extreme heatwaves (main drivers of carbon release), I suggest that even this new (great) study might underestimate the real pulse of carbon from warming permafrost. #ClimateChange #ExtremeHeat #Permafrost #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Delhi is experiencing extreme heatwaves with official temperatures exceeding 40°C, but thermal imaging reveals surface temperatures soaring above 60°C, highlighting the severe impact of urban heat on residents, particularly those who must work outdoors in such conditions. #Heatwave #UrbanHeat #ClimateChange

India is experiencing a severe heatwave in New Delhi, with temperatures nearing 45 degrees Celsius, leading to the death of hundreds of fish in Sanjay Lake, a situation attributed to falling oxygen levels in warm water and indicative of the environmental stress caused by repeated heatwaves in the region. #Heatwave #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather

The Indian Meteorological Department has announced the onset of the southwest monsoon over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, with the monsoon expected to reach Kerala earlier than usual, potentially by May 26, while regions in Maharashtra may experience severe weather conditions, including heatwaves and heavy rainfall in the coming days. #Monsoon #WeatherForecast #IndiaWeather #IN #LK #AE #AQ #SA

Concerns over the potential impact of El Niño in Bangladesh are heightened due to the extreme heat experienced in 2024, which saw one of the longest heatwaves in the country's history, with temperatures ranging from 36 to 42 degrees Celsius for 36 consecutive days, leading to school closures, increased electricity demand, and a rise in heatstroke, dehydration, and diarrhea cases in hospitals. #ClimateChange #HeatWave #ElNino #BD

Concerns regarding the potential impact of El Niño in Bangladesh are heightened by the experience of 2024, which saw one of the longest heatwaves in the country's history, causing temperatures to soar between 36 to 42 degrees Celsius for 36 consecutive days, leading to school closures, increased electricity demand, and a spike in hospitalizations due to heat-related illnesses. #WeatherImpact #ClimateChange #ExtremeHeat #BD

In Maharashtra, while the hot weather persists, some areas have experienced gusty winds and rain over the past 24 hours, resulting in the death of an eight-year-old boy and injuries to two others due to a storm in the Sangli district, with forecasts indicating potential thunderstorms in southern districts and heatwaves in Vidarbha and Marathwada over the coming days, as the Indian Meteorological Department predicts the arrival of the monsoon by the end of the week. #WeatherUpdate #Monsoon #Maharashtra #IN #AS

In Maharashtra, while hot weather persists, recent storms have caused significant damage, including the death of an eight-year-old boy due to a collapsed wall in Sangli, with warnings of further severe weather and heatwaves expected in the coming days. #WeatherUpdate #Monsoon #MaharashtraWeather #IN #AG

Climate scientists are warning that a potentially record-breaking El Niño event could occur later this year, leading to unprecedented extreme weather patterns, rising global temperatures, and intensified climate impacts, including heatwaves, droughts, and more intense rainfall. #ElNino #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #US #PA #CA #AM

As heat-related deaths rise across Europe, Spain has established a comprehensive network of climate shelters to provide refuge from increasingly intense heatwaves, emphasizing the need for adaptation measures and equitable access for vulnerable populations amidst the ongoing public health crisis caused by extreme temperatures. #ClimateShelters #Heatwaves #UrbanAdaptation #ES #FI #IT #FR #PT #UK #DE #AT #HU #BG #RO #EE #LT #HR #CY #SI #MT #RS

A powerful El Niño is currently developing in the Pacific Ocean, potentially the strongest since the late 19th century, and its global implications could exacerbate droughts, floods, and heatwaves, while serving as a critical test of our preparedness for climate disruptions in the face of ongoing global warming. #ClimateChange #ElNino #GlobalWarming #PE #EG #IN #CN #BR #AU #US #KR #PH #ZA

A powerful El Niño is currently developing in the Pacific Ocean, anticipated to be one of the most intense since the late 19th century, and it poses significant risks for global weather patterns, exacerbating droughts, floods, and heatwaves while simultaneously testing humanity's resilience to climate disruptions amidst ongoing global warming. #ClimateChange #ElNino #GlobalWarming #PE #IN #CN #BR #PH #KR #US #AU #ES #ZA #FR #EG

Researchers are warning that intensified wildfires and droughts, exacerbated by climate change and the upcoming El Niño phase, threaten global forests and call for urgent action to manage fires more effectively, while a recent EU report highlights Europe's record heatwaves and wildfires, underlining the urgent need for climate action despite some progress in renewable energy adoption. #ClimateChange #Wildfires #ForestResilience #EU #MD #EU #CY #AR

In 2025, Europe experienced unprecedented heat, with 95% of the continent recording above-average temperatures, resulting in record-breaking wildfires, marine heatwaves, and drought conditions, highlighting the urgent need for action against climate change despite some governments considering weakened emissions policies. #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #EnvironmentalImpact
