Women in South Sudan face greater health risks in heatwaves made more dangerous by human-caused climate change. Published ahead of of International Women’s Day tomorrow, our study warns that warming will continue to worsen inequality experienced by women and girls 🧵 📷Rod Waddington

Heatwaves, that used to be very rare, are now common, thanks to our continued burning of fossil fuels. They hit those hardest who already have tough lives. New @wwattribution.bsky.social study shows how women in South Sudan cope and struggle. www.worldweatherattribution.org/women-and-gi...

Meet the next generation of attribution scientists from @geomarkiel.bsky.social 🙏 After a busy week of analysing extreme weather events in Kiel, @frediotto.bsky.social and @clairbarnes.bsky.social report the future of attribution is in safe hands.

Master & PhD students @geomarkiel.bsky.social thank you for being awesome guinea pigs for our ( @clairbarnes.bsky.social 😍) first, in person @wwattribution.bsky.social training course. 30 more people ready to join the attribution science community!

Climate change will affect all of us! Two weeks ago it was my turn. Record-breaking rainfall in Florianópolis where I live reached 390 mm in 36 hours. A similar event in 1995, considered the worst extreme in history, was 165 mm in 36 hours. We @wwattribution.bsky.social have released a statement.

Fire-prone weather is increasing in LA with climate change – hear from @clairbarnes.bsky.social who led our rapid analysis published last week.

Climate change made the weather conditions that drove the LA wildfires 35% more likely. The city will continue to get hotter, drier and more flammable with continued fossil fuel burning. Our rapid attribution analysis was published this week 🧵 📷: CAL Fire

LA is in a high fire risk region & fire weather conditions are complex. So we @wwattribution.bsky.social looked at many lines of evidence. All show: our burning of fossil fuels increased the likelihood of such extreme fire weather conditions www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...

Amazing job to be had! - You can work with us @wwattribution.bsky.social & live in the EU & have @peterthorne.bsky.social as your manager, which I can assure you after an IPCC Synthesis report is a very good thing!

Climate triple whammy boosted risk of LA wildfires, @wwattribution.bsky.social study shows - Hot, dry conditions, a lack of rain and a longer fire-risk season are all more likely in today’s hotter climate #climatecrisis Story by me www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

When Risks Become Reality is our first ever annual report. Prepared with @climatecentral.bsky.social, it reviews the most impactful extreme weather events in 2024 and insights from attribution studies. Find the the report here 👉 www.worldweatherattribution.org/when-risks-b... 🧵

How extreme was the weather this year? Is a question we, @wwattribution.bsky.social , get asked every year. Looking back at the events we studied in detail & some new stats, we try to give an answer www.worldweatherattribution.org/when-risks-b... - in short: it was pretty bad, but things can change!

Climate change intensified the series of five typhoons and a tropical storm that impacted the Philippines over 23 days in October and November. Our study found that a greater number of typhoons landfalling in the country are reaching Category 3-5 levels as fossil fuel emissions heat the climate. 🧵

In November, the Philippines was hit by six back to back typhoons, an unprecedented situation that is now twice as likely because of climate crisis, a new study from @wwattribution.bsky.social says www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

Climate change ‘supercharged’ a series of 5 typhoons and a tropical storm that killed over 170 people that battered Philippines over just 23 days, new research by @wwattribution.bsky.social reveals. Learn more about the study 👉 ow.ly/x6ww50Uqut9 🧵

As @wwattribution.bsky.social has shown, high-intensity rainfall events like Storm Bert are becoming more common due to human-induced climate change. It's time we start taking adaptation seriously... www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/... 🧪

10 years ago I co-founded @wwattribution.bsky.social. We've learned a lot since then www.worldweatherattribution.org/10-years-of-... & changed the narrative on extreme weather & climate change. What more people still need to see: prioritising poor people will make life better for everyone.
