Which climate hazards can we expect this century—and where?
Read our explainer on regional climate impacts from the equator to the poles, summarizing a new article by @mat_collins, @ClimateDann, @emilyshuckburgh, @CharlesHSimpson, @TimWoollings, @ClimateVikki & more ⬇️

Exceptional to see Oxford recording almost 100mm of rain today.
It fell on the calendar day of 23 Sep and although no long running calendar day stats seem to exist to double check, it seems likely this is is the wettest calendar day in Oxford since records began 197 years ago.

More evidence the jet streams are shifting poleward, with a nice paper by Keel et al and an article by @jamesNESW.

Parts of Earth's jet stream have shifted toward the poles over the past several decades, likely in response to climate change. This was long forecast to happen, but has only now "emerged from the noise" says Thomas Keel @UCLgeography. New in @NewScientist:

Well done @tamsinmather!
(And I can also recommend her excellent book - Adventures in Volcanoland!)
Professor Tamsin Mather FRS is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. Her research centres on volcanoes and is motivated by understanding them as hazards, resources and agents of local to planetary-scale environmental change or maintenance. #RSFellows royalsociety.org/people/tams…
Curious about the links between weather dynamics and climate dynamics? Please consider this great workshop in October - abstract deadline end of May.

Shallow circulation, lots of moisture, strong IVT convergence right downstream of the center, propagation along baroclinic zone.
At this stage, Storm Ciarán's dynamics resembles the one of a diabatic Rossby vortex, making it similar to the infamous storm Lothar (1999). (1/7)
