Arctic sea ice has melted more slowly for the past 20 years, despite global warming, a study led by @markengland.bsky.social finds.

Climate modelling suggests this is due to ‘natural climate variations’ and will be followed by faster-than-average sea ice decline.

Our recent paper @natgeosci.nature.com shows that over the Med, marine heatwaves are linked to subtropical ridges rather than atmospheric blocking, the typical cause of atmospheric heatwaves in central Europe.

The brilliant ECRs Giulia Bonino and Ronan McAdam led this work!

Our paper showing the differences between European and African weather forecast accuracy has appeared online. The results will not surprise meteorologists, but the international development community needs to hear this.

Weather forecasting in Africa needs to be done differently.

During 2002-22, the Antarctic lower stratosphere cooled, a sign of decreasing ozone. A new study showed that this cooling was driven by a slowdown of the atmospheric motion that transports ozone poleward. Removing this effect showed a continued healing of the ozone layer. 🌊🧪👍 doi.org/10.1029/2025...

Big El Niños 🌊 usually come with big 🌎 teleconnections.
The one in 2023/24 didn't. Why?
Rainfall anomalies in the tropical Pacific were suppressed due to greater warming in Indian and Atlantic Oceans.

The 2023-24 El Nino, despite being ranked the 4th strongest since 1979, exhibited an unusually weak teleconnection pattern. A new study showed that warm tropical Indian & Atlantic suppressed tropical Pacific rainfall response to El Nino, and thus was mainly responsible: 🌊🧪 doi.org/10.1038/s432...
