Den mest exceptionella väderhändelse jag presenterat då 7 länder (ev även Liechtenstein) slog nytt NATIONELLT värmerekord (januari) igår. Lägg då till Luxemburg Belgien (31/12). Sammantaget handlar det om över tusen olika värmerekord för Europas del…🌡🌡🌡

A timelapse view from our @SpaceX Dragon of the spectacular southern aurora seen in yesterday’s post, a result of a recent solar event. As opposed to the previous aurora I’ve seen, this one danced and snaked its way directly below us, putting on quite a show. I am in awe of this ethereal and emotionally evocative phenomenon.

Absurd heat! Despite our best efforts, the monster heat dome is bound to be "undersold" by the meteorology community. Why? Because intensity like this is almost never seen. This thing has the potential to be Epic for Mid-March, and not in a good way. The magenta is where this ridge is forecast (Euro) to be the most intense on record for the day. It's not the size of a city or a state, is literally the majority of the American West. The March record for Palm Springs is 104. For Phoenix it is 100. The National Blend of models has numbers between 105-110 late next week for these two locations. If that happens, we break March surface temp records by absurd margins. And... 1/

Current temperatures in the Mallee are the highest ever recorded in VIC. Several long-term, all-month temperature records have been broken at stations across southern Australia on Monday and Tuesday, with the heatwave ongoing in the east.

BREAKING: A Florida meteorologist just went on air and said he can’t accurately report the weather anymore, because Trump’s DOGE cuts gutted the satellite data he relies on. We’re not just defunding science, we’re sabotaging public safety. And for what? So a billionaire surveillance firm can get another contract while Americans can’t even get a hurricane warning on time?
