This is probably the most astonishing rainfall data I’ve ever had my hands on. Turis, Valencia, Spain, found itself in the absolute worst of last week’s extreme rain event. The town ended up with a mind-boggling 771.8 mm (30.4 inches) of rainfall over the course of 24 hours.

We are very glad to have Jürgen among the participants of the the CAFE project! Happy birthday (again!)

Spain just can’t catch a break. An anticyclonic Rossby wave-breaking event will facilitate the development of yet another cut-off upper-level low next week. It’s too early for details, but the Levante region (eastern Iberia) should once again prepare for possible flash flooding.

Europe will feel the brutal effects of the climate crisis next week with a monumental blast of Arctic air from Greenland. The resulting snowfall and freezing cold will mark an early test of Europe's fragile energy infrastructure and storage. 🥶

Data Science in Climate Change! Tomorrow at @IEC! Still time to sign up (it seems to me) With two collaborators of Centre de Recerca Matemàtica | CRM-CERCA and a colleague from CAFE Climate Extremes Project: Antonio Turiel and Roser Maneja CTFC [Talks in Catalan]

Winter and summer are so close today: Snowstorms in Central Europe with even November 24h records in Switzerland:Lucerne 42cm,Basel 27cm.(Info by Michael Eichmann) Up to 35C in Morocco and night temperatures up to 30C at Adeje in the Canary Islands,hotter than summer averages!

📢Call for Abstracts! Join us at the #EGU2025 in Vienna! Consider submitting an abstract to our session Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics 1.3 - Extremes in Geophysical Sciences: drivers, predictability, and impacts. ➡️ more info meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/… ⏰Deadline: 15 January 2025

Woah, this new paper in PNAS is so interesting! It finds some regional “hot spots” are experiencing extreme temperatures that are increasing faster than models predict. (World is warming on average but some areas seem prone to repeated/extensive heat). doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

New study on Earth's cloud cover (link in next post) makes a concerning finding. In 2023, the cover of low-altitude clouds was smaller than expected, significantly lowering Earth's albedo. The researchers say that this is the reason why 2023 was hotter than expected. There have

Why the recent floods in Valencia were a national emergency (level 3), although it was never declared as such. Considering how things are going, we should probably continue at that level today. by DomingoM Molina T Víctor Resco de Dios... etc. [in Spanish]
