Deadly heat that would have been very rare without climate change & even relatively rare just 20 years ago, now common event due to continued increase in emissions from burning fossil fuels. We now this is happening, but we are not prepared. https://t.co/M93eB8TiIu

Human-caused climate change made the apparent temperature of the humid heatwave in southern West Africa during February 4°C hotter. Our study highlights how heat action plans can help protect vulnerable people from intensifying heatwaves in West Africa. 🧵

Our latest study found that human-caused climate change is making extreme cold much less likely in Norway, Sweden and Finland ❄️📈 However, we highlight that less frequent coldwaves could be more dangerous if risk perception of extremely cold temperatures decreases over time.

Climate change fuelled unprecented extreme weather in 2023; expect more record-breaking events in 2024. Both adaptation and a rapid move away from fossil fuels is needed to make our world a safer place. https://t.co/M2e1CuYD35

Extreme heat, rendering difficult lives even harder. New @WWAttribution study of a heatwave you probably have never heard of. Extreme heat in subsaharan Africa - made by burning fossil fuels, ignored by all. https://t.co/UYk5ttgAd8

Analysis: Africa’s extreme weather has killed at least 15,000 people in 2023 | @daisydunnesci w/ comment from @izpinto @KimtaiJoy Read: https://t.co/RQp9k2aHlz

WMO SG - @WMOUNHQ - welcomes #WCRP2023 in Rwanda, tackling the defining challenge of our times: #ClimateChange. Its impacts hit the Global South hardest. @WCRP_climate's first Open Science Conference in Africa will culminate with the #KigaliDeclaration to be presented at #COP28.

Earth had hottest August and September on record. Heatwaves in both N and S hemisphere. New @WWAttribution study: climate change made the prolonged extreme (winter!) heat in South America at least 100 times more likely and 1.4-4.3ºC hotter. Graphic @ScottDuncanWX #StateofClimate

For #AfricaClimateWeek, we’re highlighting findings from #IPCC reports on how #ClimateChange affects #Africa. 🎥 #IPCC WGI Vice-Chair @AdiongueNiang explains how #Africa can expect increases in hot extremes & sea level rise in the coming decades. ➡️ https://t.co/9v7yfoIkCs

What does the latest @IPCC_CH #AR6 report tell us on changes in #climate #extremes? A summary 🧵 following the on-line release of the full material of the #IPCC #ClimateReport "The Physical Science Basis". @XuebinZhang_CA @anna_pirani @valmasdel

Partes da regiao de Africa Austral registaram temperaturas acima da media em Junho de 2023. Inverno ate agora relativamente quente! #StateofClimate #Moçambique

Many of you know that I'm a fan of Anticipatory Action, but I'm frustrated by the overinflation of its potential using misleading statistics. This blog by @liz_stephens shows the nonsense & gives spot on recommendations! Bravo Liz 👏

New @WWAttribution confirms again just how much of game changer climate change is when it comes to extreme heat - April heat in the Mediterranean would have been almost impossible to occur without climate change. https://t.co/8LB6cjNP0J

In our new @NatureClimate comment we discuss why event attribution shouldn't play a major role in Loss and Damage yet https://t.co/X0iWUaBncG @ClimateGrose @KimtaiJoy @izpinto @harrinluke

With the return of #CycloneFreddy to the shores of Mozambique earlier this week, we return on Science in Action to the storm system's extraordinary 37-day history and its impacts with @liz_stephens and @izpinto https://t.co/ZJR8JpNXf6

Preparation, mitigation and adaptation are and will be important in the future.

🧵 The average and maximum rain rates associated with tropical cyclones (TCs), extratropical cyclones and atmospheric rivers across the globe, and severe convective storms in some regions, increase in a warming world (high confidence) - IPCC AR6 Chapter 11 🧵

🧵Tropical Storm Ana in late Jan 2022 brought winds, heavy rains, damage and destruction to the same regions in Mozam and Malawi. We found that #Climatechange made extreme rainfall heavier and more likely to happen during this storm in 2022. Read more at https://t.co/9am4asjdUQ

Preliminary data (ERA5 forecast) shows that #CycloneFreddy, a record-breaking storm that is affecting #Mozambique and #Malawi brought a recording breaking rainfall. Impacts include floods and landslides in both countries. 🧵
