The Arctic circle undergoes a strong warming event, as a powerful high-pressure system warms up the polar region, boosting the ice melt season
The Arctic circle is quite warmer than normal this year. The pressure patterns are allowing warmer air to be transported into the region. The past few days are featuring...
Global ocean analysis reveals three anomaly areas, which will have major impacts on weather in summer, hurricane season and even next winter!
The world still fights against the novel Coronavirus outbreak. Eventually, this hazard will be overcome with cooperation and science. Weather can also be a hazard, claiming (too)many lives each...
*Arctic* After reaching the largest sea ice extent in the past 8 years, the Arctic sea ice is now in an unusually rapid ice melt phase, starting the melt season
Arctic sea ice has reached its maximum extent in early March. The ice melt season has begun, with rapid ice loss, as warmer air reaches the polar regions. Arctic...
An unusual Arctic Warming Event begins over the eastern Arctic, raising temperatures over 20°C above normal! Are we in for an early ice melt season?
Just a few days after we talked about the Arctic ice extent reaching 10-year highest values, we are witnessing a warming event over the eastern Arctic. Temperatures are expected...
*Rapid ICE growth* Arctic sea ice reaches the largest early February ice area in the past 11 years! It even exceeds the 2001-2010 average size
Overall, winter was rather mild across much of Eurasia and North America, with the exception of Alaska and parts of Canada. But, that means that a lot of cold...
*BREAKING* An incredible temperature high of 18.3°C (65°F) has been measured in Antarctica! This is possibly the highest temperature on the continent since the last interglacial period!
Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth. But you would be surprised to know, that it has its warm spots too, and one of those just recorded the highest...
*January 2020* We just went through the warmest January on record! Temperatures were much above normal across the Northern Hemisphere, as the Polar Vortex has put cold Arctic air on lockdown
January is the second winter month. It was far from wintery across many parts of the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes. January 2020 was the warmest January on record. After a...
Unusually strong positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) event develops, powers severe droughts in Australia, and supports warmer October in Europe.
There are many global factors and influences that drive our climate and the weather that we feel. A lot of these “drivers” come from the oceans around the world....
