It's official

Climate breakdown made the 2026 UK harvest the worst on record

The 4 worst UK harvests ever have happened since 2020, leading to the loss of grain equivalent to more than a year's worth of bread supply

And it won't stop there

I have a new piece out in Nature today on the record-breaking 2026/2027 El Niño, what impacts we should expect, and how governments can prepare. The Niño3.4 region is currently running more than 1C hotter than any prior event on record, and we remain months away from the peak.

[Met4Cast - UK Weather @Met4CastUK]

This is now reality.

El Niño is now likely to be stronger than anything we’ve seen in recorded history, and probably stronger than anything in the last 50 million years.

Global temperatures are very likely to reach new, unprecedented levels in the next 1-2 years with far reaching impacts.

It's hard to fathom what Europe will live next week.
Thousands of records will be brutalized in Spain,France,UK,Benelux,Germany,Swiss,Austria and than the East
Paris might record 4 consecutive days 40C
UK will ridiculize its June national record
Germany 10 days 37C+
This is CRAZY

IgG from Long COVID patients attacks nerves/brain tissue. Inject into mice --> real pain, fatigue, coordination loss, nerve damage ... Matches patients perfectly. Psychosomatic bros in shambles. Autoimmunity wins.
Science > dismissal. 🧨
We need more research like this!

[Hannah Davis @ahandvanish]

Large study (av age 45) shows people with #LongCovid are 4.48x more likely to have a Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event (stroke, pulmonary embolism, heart failure) & 53% more likely to die.

True regardless of age, BMI, vaccination, variant. Risks last 3+ years from infection. 1/

A new large cohort study in Frontiers in Medicine looked at people who developed shingles after COVID-19.
Could shingles after COVID be more than just a painful rash - with possible links to later blood-cancer risk?🧵

Unbelievable satellite view of the Middle East cyclone right now. It’s not very often you see something like this in the Persian Gulf region.

Over 1,400 km to the SE of the low-pressure center, the most intense supercells of this entire system just struck the United Arab Emirates and blanketed the nation in exceptionally cold thunderstorms. Towering, electric cloud tops as frigid as -90 C (-130 F) moved directly over Dubai and Abu Dhabi, delivering one of the stormiest nights in recent memory for both of these desert metropolises.
