In case you missed our latest science briefing, here is the recording from today: youtube.com/watch?v=gFb8Fq… We checked in on the latest global indicators, as well as discussed the ongoing record heatwave across the West and timing of spring from the National Phenology Network data

Ready to spring into action on the latest global climate trends? Join us TOMORROW at 12 PM ET / 9 AM PT to review recent extremes and their drivers as well as preview the upcoming season’s weather. Register below⤵️

Next monthly webinar is coming up! I’ll share global climate stats for Feb 2026 and take a look back at this past winter and the ongoing snow drought. We'll also hear from the U.S. National Phenology Network on an update on spring leaf-out. ➡️ Sign up: climatecentral-org.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

@akumar_org Thank you!

@ZLabe Excellent work making climate data accessible. The feedback loops between declining snow depth and Arctic amplification are outpacing our policy response.

My next 'climate viz of the month' blog is available, which looks at a global animation of snowfall in 2025: zacklabe.com/climate-viz-of…. Snow is a key climate indicator, affecting the Earth system, ecosystems, & society in many important ways #SciComm #DataViz #OpenScience #OpenData

IN TWO WEEKS: Join #ClimateCentral for the next Monthly Climate Brief, where we’ll explore the latest global and U.S. climate stats! 📅Thursday, March 19, 2026 ⏰12 PM ET / 9 AM PT’ Register today ➡️ climatecentral-org.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

🥶☃️ Freezing cold temps & a parade of winter storms, this was a memorable winter, but it wasn’t as cold as you think! It was actually the 2nd warmest on record for the Lower 48! @ClimateCentral Dr. @ZLabe reminds us one cold winter does not negate climate change. #climatematters

@ProfessorSeanC @ScienceAdvances Thanks!!

@ZLabe @ScienceAdvances Epic work, Zac. Congratulations.

We have a new study out! In this work, we examine how the Gulf Stream & Kuroshio co-vary, & this is tied to atmospheric variability & potentially sea-ice anomalies. However, this linkage may be changing in a warming world. @ScienceAdvances ➡️ #OpenAccess: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@thekevlar @ScienceAdvances Great!

@ZLabe @ScienceAdvances Thanks Zack for the post, we will be looking into this study...

In case you missed our latest climate science briefing, check out the recording: youtube.com/watch?v=xc1gl4… #SciComm #DataViz We dived into the recent extremes across the contiguous United States, with a focus on the cold across the East and record warmth/snow drought in the West.

@akumar_org Thanks for watching!

@ZLabe Loved your briefing, ZLabe! These temperature swings really demand urgent action. Thanks for making the science accessible-keep those visuals coming! 👏 #SciComm

@GreenLifeMaps Thank you! :)

@ZLabe Brilliant work decoding these extreme contrasts. The briefing's #SciComm approach shows climate disruption in stark relief.

@ClerkinMark @ClimateCentral Here's a new review study on changes in climate records: nature.com/articles/s4301…

@ZLabe @ClimateCentral How common is it for countries\regions to have record breaking both hottest and coldest or both driest and wettest year in the same year? It would be interesting to see where this happens and whether the rate this occurs is increasing, as I assume it is.

Join us for our next monthly climate webinar! I'll be talking about the recent cold across parts of the Northern Hemisphere. We will also have a live demo of a new @ClimateCentral tool to assess climate data in your backyard. ➡️ Register at climatecentral-org.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Join us on February 17 for the next Monthly Climate Brief as we overview the latest global and U.S. climate stats from January 2026, and dig into the striking U.S. weather contrast between the cold East and the warm West. 🗓️ February 17, 12pm EST. 📝 buff.ly/6jd1vph
