12-month moving average time series of land-average temperature anomalies 1750-2025 relative to the 1850-1900 average, with 95% uncertainties shown. Two curves show the Berkeley Earth land average with and without the recent addition of weather station data from the HCLIM dataset.
Recently, @berkeleyearth.org expanded our temperature database by integrating the HCLIM data set.

The additional data rescued by HCLIM helps improve early reconstructions, but doesn't fundamentally change the large uncertainties due to sparse sampling.

I gave a talk yesterday about monitoring, reporting, and verification for marine carbon dioxide removal and you can watch it here at 2x speed if you wish. 🌊

November 15, 1958 – Academic Paper on “Changes in Carbon Dioxide Content of Atmosphere and Sea Due to Fossil Fuel Combustion” submitted
allouryesterdays.info/2022/11/14/n...
The 2025 update of the Global Carbon Budget is out.
While fossil CO2 emissions rise again and carbon sinks are weakened by climate change, deforestation emissions are down and many countries decarbonise their energy.
No global emissions peak yet though.

Great opportunity to help modernise one of the iconic climate time series - Central England Temperature.

The squares for Curium and Meitnerium from periodictable.com, featuring portraits of their respective namesakes, are presented above a caption "Only two women have chemical elements named after them. Both were born on November 7th." (I'm aware that there was some ambiguity surrounding Lise Meitner's birthday, but Ruth Lewin Sime's biography notes that Meitner celebrated the occasion on November 7.)
Happy birthday to the only two women with elements named after them on the periodic table: #MarieCurie & #LiseMeitner.
As I do every year, I will once again repeat my proposal that November 7 should be International #WomenInSTEM Day!

📣 #StateOfClimate Update 2025 is out now
🌡️ From January to August 2025, average temperature was +1.42°C hotter than pre-industrial level, on track to be second or third hottest year on record.

Should we start historical climate simulations in 1750 (or 1800) rather than 1850?

Southampton’s West Bay, early 1900s. Southampton West (now Central) railway station can be seen on the left. The bay disappeared when the land was reclaimed here in the 1920s and 1930s in order to create the vast Western Docks.

Part of Lavers’ advert for his business.
Robert Lavers was tea dealer, grocer, and fish sauce manufacturer, with premises at 5 Prospect Place on Above Bar Street, opposite Commercial Road. In this 1835 advert, he boasts of his Lavers’ Celebrated Southampton Sauce.

OSI SAF suspends its Climate product still based on SSMIS (Interim Climate Data Record)
Due to unstable access to #SSMIS data, we are suspending today the distribution of our #SeaIce concentration interim climate data record based on it (OSI-430-a).
We advise all users to switch to our #AMSR2 based climate products.

It is very hard to know otherwise how much of the error was due to the lack of weather balloons. Forecast failures happen, and tropical cyclones moving into the extratropics are a common source of these.

A request for weather interested volunteers!
Met Eireann would like to rescue millions of weather observations taken in Ireland over many decades that are still stuck on paper. #WeatherRescue

A selfie of me at the train station.
On the early train again. This time to Southampton to run my Play your PhD workshop with the Flood CDT students. Really looking forward to this one.

As we prepare for the Arctic Circle #Assembly2025 we're highlighting NOC's Arctic work.
🌡️ The Arctic may be ice-free in summer by 2050, with global impacts. 🌍
Projects like CANARI focus on how this affects extreme weather and the UK. 🇬🇧🌦️
More on our Arctic projects here:

An atmospheric general circulation model you can run on a Python Jupyter notebook?! Heck yeah! Check out this project- both an educational tool for undergraduates/graduate students, and a research tool for scientists interested in idealized climate modeling.

A digitized image taken from Dublin Magazine (1820) showing a meteorological table containing observations for barometeric pressure, precipitation, max and min temperature, and wind direction. The observations were taken by a J. Pim at 55 City Quay, Dublin.
I’ve recently begun a PhD, part of which is to discover missing historical meteorological observations recorded across Ireland. Meteorological tables contained within the short-lived Dublin Magazine of 1820 were recently found. The observations were taken by a J. Pim at 55 City Quay, Dublin 1/
