Low water levels at Pontsticill reservoir, south Wales, in July 2025.

Graph showing unprecedented low summer rainfall found in one example realisation of the ECMWF hindcast archive (in red) compared to observed summer rainfall (in black). The light grey shading indicates the highest and lowest rainfall in the observations over this period.

Series of maps of UK illustrating four storylines of river flows given a dry or wet July combined with sustained settled or unsettled conditions as a result of a shifted jet stream to the north or south of the UK.

💧 How can we plan for future droughts when past observations are limited?

UKCEH hydroclimatologist @wilsonchan.bsky.social explains how ‘hindcasts’ and the UNSEEN method can help us explore rare but plausible scenarios, filling gaps in observations.

Visualising climate impacts on UK river flows Introducing streamflow stripes #ShowYourStripes

🌊 Streamflow Stripes are here!!! 🌊
Just in time for #ShowYourStripes Day – 21st June 🌍

Our team at @ukceh.bsky.social has created UK river flow stripes to visualise how these have changed over time.

Visualising climate impacts on UK river flows Introducing streamflow stripes #ShowYourStripes

CANARI scientists from @ukceh.bsky.social have created UK river flow stripes.

High flows are rising in the north/west and drought risk growing in parts of the south/east. Adaptation is needed to reduce impacts from swings between wet/dry.

Stripes for ocean acidification, air quality, and biodiversity loss reveal alarming trends.

CANARI aims to better understand North Atlantic atmospheric and oceanic circulation and how they may shift in the future.

The stripes tell the story of how our climate has changed and it's not just warming at the surface. Temperatures are changing for the rest of the atmosphere and the ocean too 🌍

🌊 Exciting research could help the UK better prepare for droughts... 

It shows a link between North Atlantic ocean temperatures and UK summer droughts, with signs up to 18 months ahead ☀️

This study was supported by the CANARI project and was a collaboration between @ukceh.bsky.social @noc.ac.uk, @ncas-uk.bsky.social and @ecmwf.int

The study reveals a teleconnection pathway linking North Atlantic sea surface temperature patterns, associated with freshwater inflows into the subpolar region, to shifts in the North Atlantic Current and jet stream, and reduction in UK precipitation and river flows at long lead times

Oceanic drivers of UK summer droughts - Communications Earth & Environment North Atlantic sea surface temperature influences hydrology in the United Kingdom up to 1.5 years in advance via a teleconnection with the position of the North Atlantic Current, which can help with d...

New CANARI research reveals predictability for UK summer droughts up to 1.5 years in advance 🏜️

North Atlantic Ocean patterns can signal UK summer droughts up to 1.5 years in advance; offering major potential for early drought forecasting.

👨‍💻💡 CANARI SPRINT 💡👩‍💻
Our Sprint is a week-long coordinated effort of several research centres and around 40 researchers to analyse the data from the Large Ensemble. We are looking for how the ocean, atmosphere, sea ice and connections between could be changing. #ClimateScience

Picture of the supercomputing hall in the UK.

👩‍💻 What is a Large Ensemble? 👨‍💻
To answer some questions about climate change in the North Atlantic, we’ll use the CANARI Large Ensemble which is a set of climate model simulations. It will help us better understand extreme events and distinguish between forced climate change and natural variability.

🔎 Understanding Rapid Climate Change 🔍
By understanding the processes that might cause rapid climate change, we can develop early warning systems for the UK. This knowledge is crucial for preparing for potential impacts. #ClimateResearch #EarlyWarning

Picture of patchy sea ice in the Arctic

❄️ Arctic Warming & Sea Ice Loss ❄️
One of the biggest threats to the UK's climate is the rapid warming of the Arctic and the loss of sea ice. The Arctic is warming at twice the rate of the global average, which could lead to significant changes in UK weather patterns. #ArcticWarming #ClimateChange

🌍 UK Weather & Climate 🌍
The weather and climate of the UK are shaped by the large-scale circulation of the atmosphere and ocean in the North Atlantic. Many factors influence these patterns, but rapid or disruptive changes are a major concern. #ClimateScience
