Blue skies in NL: observed diffuse fraction today in Wageningen is at the edge of the probability distribution (diff. fraction = diff / total solar irradiance). Almost nothing for light to scatter off, similar to March 2020

Last Tuesday, I was set to give a talk on 'climate change in the Northeast' at a retirement home but had to cancel due to hourly job threats. After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.

January 2025 was quite unexpectedly the warmest January on record at 1.75C above preindustrial, beating the prior record set in 2024. This is despite the presence of La Niña conditions in the tropical Pacific, with the El Niño event of 2023/2024 long faded. www.theclimatebrink....

Updating our weather forecasting course at Wageningen University with the recent storm. Hardly anyone makes station plots like these anymore, but luckily there is Python and some open data! (the goal of this map is to let students draw do their own surface + frontal analysis)
