Today's Berardelli Bonus... With hurricane season just weeks away, the Atlantic Main Development region looks VERY different than it did last year at this time. It is much cooler. While it's only one factor, it's certainly a relief compared to the feeling last April.

Tied a record today at 93 in Tampa. More impressive, it’s the 8th 90 degree day this April, breaking the record for most 90s in April. And we will see a few more before May! Also it’s the 2nd earliest we’ve reached 93. The earliest was 94 earlier this month!!

I just included a new graphic on my climate indicators page showing average yearly temperatures for the contiguous United States (CONUS) from 1895 to 2024. This visualization will now be updated annually at zacklabe.com/climate-chan.... Data is from NOAA NClimGrid.

For Earth Day I did a series of segments explaining the relationship between global heating and greenhouse gases. Today CO2 levels are higher than in millions of years, and Earth temps have jumped almost 3 degrees F. Thanks Climate Central and Ed Hawkins for the GFX!

Can scientists trace climate losses back to the emissions from individual fossil fuel companies? Yes, we can. The inimitable @ccallahan45.bsky.social and I provide an 'end-to-end' attribution framework that can be applied in many climate accountability contexts: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Since the dawn of the industrial revolution, a couple of hundred years ago, greenhouse gas forcing - mainly from burning fossil fuels - has more than doubled. Meaning that the ability of the atmosphere to trap heat has significantly increased. Thanks Leon Simons for the graphic!

In today's Berardelli Bonus... CopernicusECMWF put out its March state of the climate report showing March 2025 was the 2nd warmest March on record (warmest 2024). Bigger picture shows that society's efforts are falling far short to limit heating/ impacts from emissions.

In today's Berardelli Bonus... A sneak peak at how active the upcoming hurricane season may be based on the April computer model ensemble guidance for summer. Hint: it looks very different than last year at this time. But who knows how it will turn out. Thanks @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social

The video in this montage is extraordinary- and not in a good way. “Historic” life-changing flooding in so many spots. We have irreversibly changed our planet in ways that will compound and debilitate. (On a lighter note, I apparently made a cameo)

In today's Berardelli Bonus...The ongoing flood event in the nation's middle is another example of a historic and very "rare" event. 1000 yr rain events are typically restricted to a very isolated area but @jjrenie.bsky.social map shows just how widespread it was. 1/

Today's Berardelli Bonus: Final report on Hurricane Milton is out. Tied for the 4th strongest Atlantic hurricane on record by pressure. It did a # on the Bay Area with 100 mph wind gusts, 20" of rain (a 1-500 year event), max 10 ft of surge and it was a prolific tornado producer!

Relief is on the way! We still have to get through this weekend with record heat and highs near 90, but how's about 70s by Tuesday??

CSU Hurricane forecast calls for an above average season. Should be no surprise given the last decade. El Niño Southern Oscillation forecast to be neutral and typically that means more storms and more landfalls. Plus most of Atlantic is still warm (not as warm as last year)

“90 degree days are not just coming earlier, there are a whole lot more of them. In the 1970s, Tampa used to average around 60 90-degree days per year. But now it is now closer to 120. In other words, we now have double the number!” www.wfla.com/weather/reco...

Wow. Hit 94 in Tampa. Earliest, by 27 days, that we have hit 94! (26 days earlier than our earliest 93). @WFLA

Record high eclipsed. 92 at the airport in Tampa. This is ~35 days earlier than the long term average first 90 degree day. About 20 days earlier than the modern first 90 degree day. And about 50 days earlier than the early 1900s average. It's not coincidence its climate change.

Starting tomorrow a potentially "catastrophic" flood is forecast. Areas of MO & AR are in a "PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION" Flood watch. The bullseye is forecast to get 10-15" of rain. This image shows the NOAA "Flood Outlook" for rivers. Magenta = Major. (>50% exceeding). 1-in-100 year event

In today’s Berardelli Bonus… 90 arrives in Tampa tomorrow, as a very very early season heatwave kicks in thru the weekend. Our first 90 degree day is 50 days earlier than it was a century ago and we now have 2X more 90 degree days than we did in the 1970s (from 60 to 120) due to climate change

It's way too early... but its our reality for the next few days. Many records will fall and feels like temps, because of fairly humid air, will be in the mid 90s! Early next week cooler weather returns!

This is no joke! One month from now, sulphur emissions over the Mediterranean will be reduced by another 80%. This will further accelerate regional warming and lead to more extreme droughts, heatwaves, and flash floods.

Summer in early April. Record highs possible in Tampa Wednesday-Friday. Feels like 95. Our first 90 degree day will come about a month early. Here's the good news... while it will stay hot over the weekend, early next week the heat will break with upper 70s possible next Tuesday.

"Ain't Nobody Got Time for That" was my first reaction to the upcoming heatwave. The first 90 day in Tampa used to arrive in late May (100 years ago) But more recently the average is the 3rd week of April... about 35 days sooner. This spring we are likely to see it in a few days!
