2 July - never since we have reliable observations has a hurricane reached category 5 so early in the season (15 days earlier than Emily 2005). Within 48 hours, the maximum wind speed increased by 83 knots (153 km/h). The storm, now downgraded to category 4, is heading towards Kingston, Jamaica.

Together with three Danish professors I am in today's issue of Politiken discussing global temperature records.

Neither the huge temperature increase before the onset of the 2023/24 El Niño nor the prevailing high temperatures after its end were expected by anyone.

The onset of the Greenland Ice Sheet ablation season is defined as the first of at least three days in a row with a surface mass balance below -1 km³ (= -1 gigaton). In 2024, this was on 24 June, 11 days later than the median 1981-2010. Left: daily SMB, right: accumulated SMB

Very high values and strong gradients of the equivalent potential temperature in 850 hPa. Rain and thunderstorm warnings are active in Germany and Denmark.

DMI has undergone a major IT upgrade. We've now got rid of the starting hickups - time for an update. The onset of the melting season (first of >= 3 days in a row with melting over > 5% of the ice sheet) was on 29 May, two days later than average. Since then, the melt extent was well above average.

What was the weather like in Estonia on 15 June 1219? Partly cloudy with isolated falling flags. On this day, the Danish king Valdemar II. Sejr (Conqueror) defeated the Estonians at Lyndanisse and built a town called Taani-linn (Danish castle) by the locals, today's Tallinn.

Nice try in our canteen. However, assuming that Schnitzel is meant to be German, we miss the Scottish part. We couldn't agree whether that should be haggis or whisky.

Kickoff meeting of a new project on climate change and fisheries in Tanzania in exotic setting. We'll supply climate data and interview fishermen to improve weather forecasts and to learn about their perception of climate change. How's the ecosystem doing? Visit the local fish market and find out!

Today, I presented a poster about the actual status of our #ROPEWALK logbook digitization project (joint venture of #Rigsarkivet and #DMI, funded by #APMøllerFonden, at the #EGU24 in Vienna. More than 50 people wanted to find out how far we've got with reading the data by machine learning.

Dansk kulturarv er truet af klimaændringer.

Det samme sker i Grønland. Sammen med flere forskere, bl.a. fra Nationalmuseet, har jeg skrevet en artikel om Grønlands truende kulturarv, som vi sender til en videnskabelig journal indenfor de næste få dage.

Temperatures in 2 m height and their anomalies from the average 1979-2000, forecast for days 7-10 (days 1-6 very similar). An unseasonally warm period lies ahead for most of Europe: Maximum temperatures of 15°C can be expected in Great Britain and Germany and close to 25°C in southern France.

"ChatGPT, zeig mir ein Blut-und-Boden-Bild der 30er Jahre!" Die einzige gute Nachricht, die mir zu diesem Machwerk einfällt, ist, dass wir zumindest vor der KI (vorerst) keine Angst haben müssen, sieht man sich mal die Mutantengliedmaßen an.

72 h backward trajectories for northern Jutland and Falster, respectively, explain the huge temperature difference observed momentarily in Denmark. Snow storm in the north and lots of rain in the south.

A meteogram of the weather station closest to where I grew up, in the low mountain range Berg Country, east of the Rhine and south of the Ruhr rivers in Northrhine-Westfalia. Excluding today, a record precipitation sum of 1531 mm was observed, with new record values in March, October and December.

My personal opinion: Much too little. Much too late. But this is what could be expected, since there are so many conflicts worldwide, and the Saudis are needed as allies, so nobody wants to p*ss them off.

Good to know that the president of the COP28 climate summit, Sultan Al Jaber, claimed there is “no science” that says phasing out fossil fuels is necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

In 1745, the Danish missionary Hans Egede wrote: “In Greenland, all winters are severe, yet they are not alike. The Danes have noticed that when the winter in Denmark was severe, as we perceive it, the winter in Greenland in its manner was mild, and conversely.” This is also the case right now.

Unseasonably cold in Denmark: The minimum temperature in Copenhagen was -7.7°C, which is the coldest November temperature since 1919. Roskilde was the coldest station in Denmark with a minimum temperature of -15.0°C, the coldest November night of the last 30 years. (Map: my colleague Sebastian Pelt)

New record for daily precipitation in Copenhagen in November: 52.1 mm. The old record in a time series of 150 years (1874-2023) was 34.2 mm. Another mm or so might come on top of that during the night.
