ONE WEEK AWAY! #ShowYourStripes Day is Saturday, June 21st. Stripes are a visual time machine of how human-caused climate change is impacting the places we love most. Download your city/states graphic & learn more ▶️ trello.com/b/bpDKOhd5/s...

Record heat is increasingly outpacing record cold in Alaska. 📍Fairbanks: • 2000s: 38 records set. 95% record highs. • 2010s: 44 records set. 70% record heat. • 2020s (so far): 17 records. 88% record heat. 12% record cold www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt...

Alaska’s 1st ever Heat Advisory is in effect for Sunday. A Flood Watch for snowmelt is also in effect for northern AK 🌡️Last week: 15°-25°F below normal 🌡️This week: 10°-20°F above normal 🔴Climate Change is playing a role in this weather whiplash. Sunday's unusual heat: at least 2x to 4x more likely

đź”´Climate Shift Index Alert: Southwest U.S. & Mexico Between June 12 & 17, over 106 MILLION will experience at least one day of excessive, mid-June heat made at least 3x more likely by climate change. 58.8M across CO, NM, AZ, UT, TX, a Mexico: at least one day made at least 5x more likely

Next week it is time to #ShowYourStripes again. We encourage everyone to download their warming stripes graphics and use them to start climate conversations on Friday 20th and Saturday 21st June. www.ShowYourStripes.info Graphic: Change in global average temperature from 1850-2024.

Climate change has caused an increase in warmer-than-normal summer nights since 1970 in 246 major U.S. cities analyzed. bit.ly/warm-summer-... #climatematters

Excessive heat + dangerously warm nights in India, with a clear climate signal. 🌕Lows in New Delhi this week: 33-34°C (92-94°F) Climate Shift Index shows these hot night temps are made 2-3x MORE likely by climate change India Heatwave details from @AP: apnews.com/article/heat...

Wherever you live in the world, your climate is getting warmer. Countdown to #ShowYourStripes Day on the 1st day of summer: 12 days! Each line represents one year 🔵Cooler-than-average temp 🔴Above-average temp Find your city's stripes here 👉 observablehq.com/@climatecent...

The growing gap between historic heat and historic cold over the past 50 years is an indicator of climate change. This includes the Pacific Northwest, where weekend record warmth has continued into the start of the week. See your city's trend: climatecentral.org/climate-matt...

The Northwestern U.S. walked out to one of the warmest June 9th mornings on record. Climate Shift Index shows this unusual warmth is made: • 5x more likely (near impossible without climate change) in Eugene & Seattle • 4x more likely in Portland & Yakima due to climate change

Day 2 of the Forum Internation de Meteo et Climat is underway. You can follow along virtually here: www.digitaloceanpavilion.eu/content/foru... ##FIM2025 @climatecentral.org @forumeteoclimat.bsky.social

♨️ UNUSUALLY HOT WEEKEND LOADING... Persistent heat in Texas and Florida is linking up across the South and spreading West. Temps 10°–25°F above average could near all-time records for early June. Climate change has made heat like this at least 2x to 5x more likely. csi.climatecentral.org

This ain't your grandpa's summer... Climate change has made extreme summer heat -- our hottest of the hot days -- more likely and more frequent across a majority of the U.S. www.youtube.com/shorts/Ub2RZ...

Kicking off the Forum International de Meteo et Climat Media Workshop. This year, we are aligning with the UN Ocean Conference. #FIM2025 #UNOC3 @climatecentral.org

Heat has accounted for nearly half of weather-related power outages in the U.S. between 2000 and 2023. đź§Š @cbsnews.com's David Schechter shows how strategic ice-making helps to draw down the demand on power grids when the temperatures as temperatures heat up www.cbsnews.com/video/how-ba...

🔴Summers are getting hotter in the Brazos Valley & #bcstx. Summer's average temp: +4.3°F in 55 years. NEW @climatecentral.org data shows climate change's fingerprint (made at least 2x more likely) on the hottest days (101°+) 70s–80s: classic TX 90s: ~1 day 2000s: ~3 2010s: ~8 2020s: 15+ (so far)

🌍 June 2 is #HeatActionDay. A new report from @wwattribution.bsky.social, @ifrc.org, and @climatecentral.org reveals how climate change has fueled extreme heat over the past year. 🧵 on key findings: 👇 #BeatTheHeat

Without doubt the strong warming is making these fire events far more likely and far more significant.

On this first official day of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season, attribution science of the Climate Shift Index shows unseasonably hot sea surface temperatures are made as much as 50 to 100 times MORE likely due to human-caused climate change. The data▶️ csi.climatecentral.org/ocean

June 1st marks the beginning of Meteorological Summer (June - July - August). While summer is expected to be hot -- generations past would tell you it is not supposed to be *this* hot for (at least) 234 cities across the U.S. On average, the season has warmed by 2.6°F 🧵/1

Smoke from Canadian wildfires is expected to settle over Chicago this weekend, reducing air quality. Climate change-boosted heat in Canada is having indirect health impacts for Midwestern neighbors to the south. 📺 More from @cbschicago.bsky.social: youtu.be/kMk5Kth4IkU?...

Wildfires in Canada are intensifying as unusual heat, drought, and a stalled weather pattern collide. Climate change has made this early-season heat at least 5 times MORE likely than a world without carbon pollution. đź”´Climate Shift Index Alert: climatecentral.org/climate-shif...
