Strongest El Niño on record this year?!
New ECMWF guidance shows a *75% chance of a super El Niño* by October, with some scenarios suggesting the most intense event in more than a century.
It will bring wide-reaching weather impacts that last into 2027 🧵

One of the most intense marine heatwaves on Earth has developed off the coasts of China and South Korea, where ocean temperatures are up to 5°C (9°F) above normal.
NOAA has classified this event as a Category 4 (extreme) marine heatwave.

This graphic shows average Arctic sea-ice thickness (average monthly volume divided by average monthly extent, 12-month running average). October, 2017, saw the minimum, at 1.228 meters. Current is 1.267 meters and falling fast.
What's next? The Climate 8-ball is frozen solid.

Up. Up. And away!
North Pacific water temps the past 15 years, with September 2025 being the cherry on the top (right) of the chart. @ZLabe is going to need a bigger Y axis!

The North Pacific heatwave these past few months has been astonishing. Take a look at the bottom of this image. It’s “accumulated heat stress” from NOAA’s Coral Reef Watch program. Basically the whole north basin registers Alert Level 5, dark purple. The dark purple also happens to correspond with areas that have been 5-8C (9 to 14 F) above normal at some point in the past few months.
(Luckily there is little coral impacted as this alert level
5 is for surface water north of the coral zone. I’m no biologist but I imagine it has a big impact on ocean life)
Now - I hope you are sitting - because take a look at this next graphic for September from @ZLabe 🧵 1/

Your 'moment of doom' for Sept. 25, 2025 ~ Ocean acidification.
"A new report from the ... Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) reveals that 7 of the 9 critical Earth system boundaries have now been breached, one more than last year."

The 36-month running average for Earth albedo (reflectivity) hit another record low as of the latest data release for July, 2025 by CERES.
In other words, the darkening of the planet is growing stronger.

New research explores the wide-ranging consequences of record low summer sea ice in Antarctica. From more ocean warming to extra icebergs, it's bad news we must hear. @edoddridge @UTAS_ theconversation.com/antarcti…

1⃣ Like a heartbeat driving one of the largest seasonal cycles on Earth, Antarctic sea ice is central to the global climate system and vital for unique ecosystems.

No--the entire climate.gov team was fired and they will no longer be able to generate the products that used to be housed there. There may be a historical archive available, but no new/continuing information.

What a remarkable--and pointless--loss for NOAA and for the United States.

As gas exports have soared, Petroleum Resource Rent Tax paid has shrunk ever smaller, to just $1.5 billion in 2024-25.
Beer excise is a bigger revenue raiser than the PRRT! (2/5)

The gas industry has had higher profit margins than ANY other sector in Australia over the last few years.
That's unsurprising when you know how little tax they pay. 🧵 (1/5)

We tried to show the PRRT compared to Australia's total tax. It's so small you can barely see it on the graph.

New WMO report on near-term climate projections finds that global temperatures are likely to remain at highly elevated levels for the next five years. Barring a large volcanic eruption, it is very unlikely that we see a year as cool as 2022 again.
