July summary: France has been baking for a 2nd month in a row. So has England to a lesser extent. Both are in deep drought with London crossing the 40 day no-rain mark on Tuesday (and counting). Eastern Europe got the cool stick. Germany a tug of hot and cool war. www.karstenhaustein.com/climate

Map of Germany with red and blue colours for warm (hot) and cool anomalies relative to the long-term mean. France hot red. Spain, England and the Mediterranean red, with blue-ish colours across most of Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.

The battle of two pre-El-Niño July: '23 vs '26! Antarctica & North Atlantic holding out cool-ish this month compared to July '23. UK / France amongst the current hot spots. Wildfires (FR and ES) as well as record drought (S England) are the result 🔥 #ClimateEmergency www.karstenhaustein.com/climate

Map of temperature departures from the long-term mean (1981-2010). mostly red for hot/warm anomalies, but blue cool anomalies over central US, Scandinavia and Antarctica.

In case anyone is still listening: 14.500 excess deaths have been recorded during the June heatwave in Germany alone. At least 70% (i.e. ~10.000 premature deaths) r due to man-made climate change in 1 week. The conservative RKI numbers r certainly a massive underestimate! www.rki.de/DE/Themen/Ge...

July increasingly becomes a carbon copy of February. Jan and April not too dissimilar either The contrast between Western and Eastern Europe in 2026 couldn't be more stark From Atlantic warming hole (AMOC slowdown) to random variability, there's a long list of possible explanations #ClimateChange

A system that provides aggressive neonazis a space to spew their hate, bigotry and utter contempt for humanity is bound to fail. #fckNSAfD and their radicalised conservative enablers. #ef0407 #Erfurt

The warmest or 2nd warmest June is in the books. Hot in Siberia, Canada and Europe. El Niño clearly visible already. Thank your local fossil fuel lobbyist and the tech-oligarchs for an even balmier and sweatier future. www.karstenhaustein.com/climate

Blue and red patches for cold and hot temperature departures from the long-term average (1981-2010). Dark red in Siberia, Europe and Canada. Blue in Antarctica.

Who knew that climate change and massive asphalt highways in the middle of a large city might not be the ideal combination. But what do I know? Also, who sold them this cheap material? Clearly, more heat resistent materials exist. #ClimateEmergency #Glutofen

KarSteN Haustein@khaustein· Jun 27

That’s how it looks in real life 🔥🤡 Now we know the melting point of this cheap material. It’s approx 40°C (Tmax 41°C). If only someone could have warned us 🙄🤷🏽‍♂️

KarSteN Haustein@khaustein· Jun 25

The ongoing EU heat wave is undoubtedly already historic. The extent of Saturdays convective activity determines Germany's fate on Sunday. Everything from mind-boggling 43°C to just above 40°C is up for grabs. Extremely dangerous, but synoptically tantalizing 🔥 kachelmannwetter.com/de/modellkar...

Four panels with coloured temperature values for Germany (Sunday). Red for moderate maxima and white for extreme maxima. Eastern Germany mostly white, all else more reddish.

KarSteN Haustein@khaustein· Jun 21

It shapes up to be a dangerously brutal and - likely - historic heatwave in Central Europe, especially France and its capital. #ClimateEmergency www.karstenhaustein.com/climate

I`d argue it's atmospherically forced :) May SAT vs May SST (note the different scale)

KarSteN Haustein@khaustein· Apr 30

April coming to a close. Probably 5th warmest on record. Canada still on the cool end of things, while Mongolia and large parts of China have been baking compared to the 1981-2010 baseline. The Pacific is slowly starting to built up steam / heat. www.karstenhaustein.com/climate

So i guess it was the weather that separated the US and Canada back then 😜 #randomweather Quite the persistent temperature anomaly pattern recently www.karstenhaustein.com/climate

WACCy (Warm Arctic Cold Continent) is back and in full swing (interestingly enough without any support from the stratospheric polar vortex). Its has certainly been a while. Global January mean back to 2016 levels. Still anomalously warm mind you. www.karstenhaustein.com/reanalysis/g...

red and blue colour for warm and cold temperature anomalies across the globe. north america, northern europe and russia are well below average (blue). the arctic and greenland continues to be well above average (red)

[...] We consider it more likely that the recent rate of global warming has been larger than anticipated, exceeding both the previous trend and what would be expected when considering only the observed pattern of greenhouse gas emissions. berkeleyearth.org/global-tempe...

… the same swirly delight some 6 hours and 5-10 cm of powdery snow in #Leipzig (Germany) later. Winter has finally arrived, yeah 🥰❄️☃️

2025 is in the climate books. 3rd warmest after 2023 and 2024 or tied 2nd warmest after 2024 (preliminary). The trend continues to be up, even tho it is within the expected range of warming given the known external factors. Below the HadCRUT5 dataset ... www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadcr... (1/2)

2nd or 3rd warmest November is in the books. Very warm anomalies almost all across the Northern Hemisphere. Negative Antarctic Oscillation with lots of extra warmth across Antarctica. Now lets see what December has in store. www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/pre... www.karstenhaustein.com/climate
