Record temperatures linked to human-caused climate change New research by climate scientists at Maynooth University in conjunction with Met Éireann has found Ireland's record summer night time temperatures this year were made 40 times more likely by human-ca...

Great to see coverage of our first full @wasitusie.bsky.social study on RTE (and elsewhere). Kudos @clairebergin.bsky.social and Lionel swan as well as met Éireann colleagues and thanks as ever to @wwattribution.bsky.social for the hugely valuable collaboration www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Graph showing daily global mean near-surface air temperatures for 2025. This is also compared to the daily data from the 1971-2000 average, 1981-2010 average, and 1991-2020 average. Annotations are also shown to the current year with the other years from 1940 to 2024 and a threshold of 2°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial level. There is a strong seasonal cycle, with a peak during the boreal summer season. There is a long-term warming trend. 2024 is also indicated, which was the warmest year on record. Data is from ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis and updated through 29 July 2025

We are now at the climatological warmest time of year for the average global temperature. While there will be no new absolute records this year for the annual maximum, our planet remains much warmer than any previous decade in our records. 🤒

As Meteorologist there's a lot I'd like to say...
Let's say weather forecasting is as difficult as melodeon playing, just that the notes keep changing all the time due to physics and stuff. Towel yourself dry and put a brew on.

If we choose not to act,
Or fail to adapt,
Then suffer we will.

21st June: #ShowYourStripes day

1) Download your warming stripes: www.ShowYourStripes.info

2) Use the graphics to start conversations about climate change risks, how you are already experiencing the consequences and what you are doing about it

3) Encourage others to do the same

Ineligible, inept and unspeakable Reform UK Ltd’s councillors, are already proving they are unfit or unwilling to serve

🔥 "The Reform company, sorry party, has already seen four of their new cohort announce that they can’t or won’t represent them in the council chamber, decisions that in some cases will cost local government tens of thousands of pounds."

“Toilets are for peeing, not politics”

Even after the Supreme Court ruling there is nothing stopping anyone using whatever toilet they wish to use.

Very clearly set out 👇
