@VaerTorsten @extremetemps @Arab_Storms @capitalweather Ah, thank you for flagging this!

Arctic heat: The Island Jan Mayen, 70.58N, obs. since 1921, has for the second month in a row set a new record in highest medium temperature. April 0.9C +3.0C normal temp. March -0.6C +3.1C normal temp. @extremetemps @Arab_Storms @capitalweather @ZLabe

@JSchripsema Unfortunately I don't have that particular graphic with the two variables on the same axes.

@ZLabe Can you extend this graph out to 2080 or 2100 or so, assuming no major changes in Western policy?

@ZLabe What are the usage restrictions? Can I translate the chart into Portuguese?

“March 2026 was a truly extraordinary month for climate extremes, with summerlike heat affecting millions across the US... Human-caused climate change is amplifying these extremes & increasing risks to people, communities, & ecosystems” Summary of month climatecentral.org/climate-briefi…

For 2026, this includes several mid-March severe weather outbreaks, the early February hard freeze in Florida, and the late January east coast winter storm. An early February winter storm and the floods in Hawaii are still under investigation for tallying costs.

📊 New data release today! Check out the latest state-by-state tools for tracking U.S. billion-dollar disasters, as well as disaster/risk mapping! 2026 already has 5 events tallied so far this year ($12.4 billion). Explore the data with @ClimateCentral: climatecentral.org/climate-servic…

New 'climate viz of the month' blog is out today, comparing two observational datasets to show the warmest decade on record across the wider #Arctic region: zacklabe.com/climate-viz-of… #DataViz #SciComm #OpenData #OpenScience

@maidperdu We added some chapter time links today on the video. Hope they are helpful!

@maidperdu Thank you for the suggestion! We’re hoping to add timestamps segments to the video for next month 😀

In case you missed our latest science briefing, here is the recording from today: youtube.com/watch?v=FDvBnB… We covered the latest global climate numbers, an update on the western US snow drought, stats from the historic March heatwave, and the latest on El Niño seasonal forecasts

@todhale Thank you so much!

The Arctic is warming at multiples above global avg, it is a keystone in many ways. There are plenty of good 'ice guys', follow @ZLabe his charts/data are easy to digest.x.com/ZLabe/status/2…

Check out my interview with Dr Gilbz on the recent record low for the annual #Arctic sea ice extent maximum: youtube.com/watch?v=GiWZNJ…

Understanding the ecological consequences of the March 2026 heat wave across the West will take years, but research on a 2021 Pacific Northwest heat wave offers some insights. hcn.org/articles/the-r…

@skieswithleo Thank you! Glad it's helpful!

@ZLabe Fascinating briefing! These March anomalies and El Niño signals feed my weather obsession. Adjusting garden plans and birding schedules based on your outlooks. Precision forecasting protects biodiversity.

We are also super excited to be joined by Dr. Simon Lee, who will be talking about changes in atmospheric circulation patterns associated with extreme cold in the eastern US and the role of the stratosphere. Register at the link above or learn more at climatecentral.org/climate-briefi….

Global ocean sea surface temperatures have surged to the highest on record for this time of year! Join me in our monthly webinar this week to discuss these recent global climate extremes, as well as reviewing the historic March heatwave. ➡️ Register: climatecentral-org.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
