A damaging hurricane in a warmer world How would a major hurricane that hit Jamaica in 1903 be different today, in a warmer world? It would drop more rain. (At least) https://t.co/ZWVkBrouCL

Climate variations over the last 2000 years provide valuable context and help answer questions about how unusual the recent changes are. Now with added global sea level rise: https://t.co/ckjaFiuWo3 Climate visual graphics: https://t.co/r0fLea25eu

Magnesiacore – The True Marine Wallboard for Indoor Pools and Ceilings For indoor pools, natatoriums, and other enclosed spaces with constant humidity and chemical-laden moisture, you need a construction board built to endure these harsh conditions.

*Actual* science (care of *real* climate scientist @ed_hawkins)👇
Every place on earth is warming twice as fast as everywhere else, and every weather event is the most extreme in history. Because, science.

More than 400 volunteers already helping @MetEireann recover millions of historical rainfall observations from their paper records. Anyone can join in:

Calling all weather and climate enthusiasts! Help us recreate the past climate of Ireland.
A request for weather interested volunteers! Met Eireann would like to rescue millions of weather observations taken in Ireland over many decades that are still stuck on paper. #WeatherRescue Anyone can help: https://t.co/hbFbwmFJUu

UK air temperatures and soil temperatures are warming at the same rate https://t.co/kSXWQtXqwo

Air temperatures, soil temperatures and reanalyses all agree on how the UK’s climate has warmed & varied over the past decades. Don’t listen to the usual critics who try to claim otherwise…

There have been efforts from some critics to suggest that @metoffice weather stations are not good enough for monitoring climate change. But @ed_hawkins shows that their temp data agrees with multiple independent datasets, providing strong support that they are, in fact, reliable

Even if we didn’t use any UK air temperature observations we would still know how much the UK has warmed. https://t.co/kSXWQtXqwo

2) Soil temperatures monitored across the UK since 1959 show the same long-term trend with slightly smaller variations from year-to-year as the soil integrates weather fluctuations. Should we use soil temperatures more for climate monitoring? Details: https://t.co/kSXWQtXYlW

Two sources of corroboration for the UK temperature series are: 1) Independent reanalyses such as ERA5 (1950-2024) and 20CRv3 (1884-2015), which show the same trends and variability in UK temperature as the official Met Office series. More details: https://t.co/kSXWQtXYlW

Monitoring changes in UK temperature To (almost) no-one’s surprise, multiple sources of data agree on the long-term trends in UK temperatures. https://t.co/kSXWQtXYlW
