Scientists have been publishing climate models since ~1970. A good way to evaluate their skill is to compare what they expected to happen in the years after the model was published to observed climate changes. It turns out most models were pretty spot-on:

115 in mid May. I am not an expert on Asia weather, but given the wording it sounds extraordinary

BFD... You got to love Hansen: "Earth’s albedo has decreased .5%. We described this change as a BFD because it has staggering implications. A 1.7 W/m2 increase of absorbed solar energy is huge. If it were a climate forcing, it would be equivalent to a CO2 increase of 138 ppm"

CoolWx site is no longer being maintained :( Can't blame him. It is a big loss! Anyone else know where you can find a map of records broken up by daily, weekly, monthly, all-time etc... ?

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.

Some folks asked if old climate models were just continuing observed linear increases in temperatures. This misrepresents what physics-based climate models do (they aren't curve fitting), but also ignores that in ~1970 there was little observed warming:

Welp. 2 California NWS offices--covering entire Sacramento/ San Joaquin Valley region & adjacent foothills/mountains--are no longer operating 24/7 due to extreme understaffing & expanding cuts to NOAA/NWS. This is a very big problem! #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater washingtonpost.com/weather/2025/0…

Is it me, or is it hot?

The intensity of today's summer-like heat in Florida was made 5X more likely by climate change, finds a Climate Shift Index analysis by Climate Central.

No end to the heat for the Tampa Bay Area. BUT we will see a brief break in the humidity for about ~2 days late this week. Highs will likely never drop below 90 and probably rise to 95 this weekend, but... at least it'll be a dry heat?

These gaps blow

Earliest 125-126F world wide on record

Yuck.

Woah, rare to see this kind of language in a review article 👀 “We show that +1.5 °C is far too high and that current climate conditions…could trigger rapid ice sheet retreat and high rates of Sea Level Rise... that would stretch the limits of adaptation” and could have

Ohhhhh yeahhhhhh!! Break in the summery humidity as drier air arrives later tomorrow (Thursday) after some scattered daytime showers. Dry break won't last long. Bottle it! WFLA NEWS Tampa Bay

Holy rotating inflow/updraft batman.
