We really nerded out this time by simulating the climate of #TheWheelOfTime. Read all about it in this spoiler-free @ConversationUK article https://t.co/2lhDzrC0HC #TwitterOfTime @BrandSanderson @nerdist @simonoxfphys @thedustywheel @DanielBGreene 1/4

@ChloBrim @LSHTM @HIGHhorizons_EU Congratulations Chloe! Who are you working with there?

[Dann Mitchell @ClimateDann]

Detection & attribution of human health is one of the fasting growing fields in climate science - and you can be part of our team working on exactly that - you only have 5 days remaining to apply though 😀

The next UK National Meeting on Climate Impacts and Risks will be held at Bristol on 18/19th Sep 2025. Day1 is all impacts/risks, Day2 is health focussed. Academic, industry and policy all welcome. Stayed tuned for updates and sign up @richardabetts @HayleyJFowler @AndyChallinor

@MicheleAcuto @evelynwelch2013 @BristolUni He was wearing a different one yesterday! how many Christmas jumpers do you have Michele? You are making us look bad 😀

[Dann Mitchell @ClimateDann]

New postdoc positions in climate attribution and health with our team. They will be 2-3 years in length, and you get to work with amazing climate and epidemiology colleagues across the world. More positions coming too @_RachelJames @EuniceLoClimate RT https://t.co/WFYdevYvrD

If you follow me on here, then feel free to follow me on bsky or send me your account name! Expect to see many from the Bristol climate group joining over the coming days 😀

Govt decision to keep regressive Tory fuel duty freeze & to choose to penalise bus users is utterly nonsensical. What happened to promoting public transport? And all the Green rhetoric? Cost of capping bus fares at £2 tiny compared with revenue lost through freeze #Budget2024

🏆 Angelina Widmann is the @stanchart Young Weather Photographer of the Year 2024!

Angelina captured this shot at an open-air performance of Madame Butterfly in Bregenz, Austria.

Bregenz is one of the wettest spots around Bodensee, due to its proximity to the mountains.

Record levels of heat-related deaths in 2023 due to #climatecrisis, report finds

- Almost half of global land area saw extreme drought for at least one month, according to @LancetCountdown

And not to mention that in the months, weeks, and years after this flood, there will be a longer-term health toll related to infectious diseases, mental health, and inequalities - the media don't revisit events so this is always less talked about

[Ed Hawkins @ed_hawkins]

Yet another reminder that climate change increases the rainfall during intense storms, increasing the risks of flooding and casualties.

At least 13 dead in flash floods in Spain: https://t.co/4LwXw9lA00

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 ⬇️

Folks – we're 72 hours away from the approach, and eventual landfall, of a potential major hurricane in Florida.

If you're in Florida between Tampa and Tallahassee at the coast, begin reviewing your plan and have a go bag ready.

@HayleyJFowler @emily_vosper How was the National Climate Impacts meeting?

[Dann Mitchell @ClimateDann]

Extremely proud of Dr @emily_vosper for passing her PhD with flying colours. Emily has created a generative AI method of downscaling tropical cyclones around the world to hazard-relevant scales. Using her methods we can now investigate the vulnerabilities of exposed populations👇

[Dann Mitchell @ClimateDann]

Very happy with our new paper in @TheLancetPlanet today, where we give a structured expert judgement on all the ways weather and climate can lead to ill-health in the UK. It's just the beginning of the conversation https://t.co/gfTintXKCO

This - from Private Eye - illustrates why it was reasonable to question the sentence lengths given to the Stop Oil protestors @RestIsPolitics
