It is caused by stalled circulation. The currently prevailing Eastern European blockade is turning into a high-over-low blockade. The affected region is on the leading edge of a persistent trough, which is cut off due to ridging over northern Europe and nestles in.

Mir folgen hier jetzt 10.000 Menschen! 🤯 Seit dem Untergang von Twitter gab es viele Plattformen, aber nie hatte ich ein so gutes Gefühl, wie auf Bluesky. Ich freue mich, dass wir hier ein neues Social Media Zuhause gefunden haben. Danke euch für das Interesse an meinem und unserem Content! 💚🌍🔥🧠🎙️🎬🤓

Ich durfte für ttt meine Meinung zum Umgang mit der Klimakrise und der aktuellen Hitzewelle in den Medien sagen. ⬇️🌍🔥

We have taken the ensemble version of the Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System (#AIFS) into operations!

It will run side by side with the traditional physics-based Integrated Forecasting System (IFS).

SW, W and central Europe will melt by WED with temperatures of 35 to 42 °C, at least according to the ICON, which admittedly represents the upper end of what is possible. In terms of temperatures at 850 hPa, we are in the top 0.5 % percentile, close to record levels.

🌡️ “I can’t stand this heat anymore! Summer just started, and it already feels endless. Is there a weather regime change coming up?”

Well… it’s complicated. 🧵

Bref coup de chaud mardi&mercredi associé a une dépression "pompe a chaleur" au large du Portugal #PlumeDeChaleur, puis probable mise en place d'un très puissant #DomeDeChaleur (fort anticyclone) pour la fin du moins de Juin avec persistance de chaleur extrême (Sud 🇫🇷).
Effrayant mais pas surprenant!

🌍🌐 What if we could relive past extreme weather events - only this time in a colder or warmer world? That’s exactly what scientists working on the Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin (Climate DT) of the EU-funded DestinE initiative are doing. Find out more ➡️ destine.ecmwf.int/news/storyli...

If we choose not to act,
Or fail to adapt,
Then suffer we will.

This is a rarity: the strongest anomaly in the northern hemisphere in the last 3 1/2 months is located over north-western Europe. Constantly recurring blocking highs over Scandinavia and the north-east Atlantic manifest themselves in an anomaly of almost +120 m over the North Sea. For saving!
