How are Rossby waves linked to climate extremes in Europe?

In our latest science explainer, Rikke Stoffels looks at how quasi-stationary Rossby waves behave and why understanding these mechanisms matters for climate projections.

🌡️ Was Europe’s summer of 2026 exceptional, or a glimpse of what lies ahead?

#EXPECT and @I4C_eu brought scientists and journalists together to discuss record heat, climate models and how local climate knowledge can help Europe prepare.

Thanks for joining!

Observed cooling trends in parts of the Pacific have not been captured by many climate models.

In her Science Explainer, Melissa Seabrook investigates why and what these discrepancies reveal about atmospheric circulation 🌊.

3 days, 35 researchers, 4 challenges!

During our #Hackathon in Hamburg 🇩🇪, researchers explored heatwave circulation patterns, downscaled climate data and used explainable AI to uncover climate drivers, turning advanced data infrastructure into new insights.

Why do climate models sometimes disagree? 🤔

In our latest Science Explainer, Melissa Seabrook explores how comparing different climate model responses helps scientists better understand the climate system and quantify uncertainty. 🔬

🌡️ Was summer 2026 a sign of a changing climate?

In a recent article for French science magazine Epsiloon, #EXPECT researcher Goratz Beobide-Arsuaga discusses Europe’s exceptional heatwaves and what they tell us about future trends.

🌊 New study on the Oct 2024 Valencia flood shows how extreme rainfall was amplified by warm Mediterranean & North Atlantic sea surface temperatures.

Model experiments highlight their key role in intensifying the event.

📊 New study explores how giving greater weight to better-performing climate models can improve predictions for the coming decades, highlighting both the potential gains for climate forecasting and the limitations of model-weighting approaches.

[EXPECT Project @Expect_Project]

Last week's heatwave in Europe reflects an accelerating trend, not an isolated event.

A new study shows that changes in atmospheric circulation, partly linked to declining aerosol emissions, have amplified summer warming since the 1980s.
