It's really interesting we are within weeks of the terrible HWs in similar regions to last year, slightly different centers though. I'm told there are really bad #heatwaves in Southern Africa at the moment too: sanews.gov.za/south-africa/h It's like we need more #ClimateAction!

HIGH Horizons

@HIGHhorizons_EU

Jan 20

We are excited to share our new project HIGH (Heat Indicators for Global Health) Horizons exploring solutions for #ClimateChange & maternal women, infant + child & health workers #health challenges. Funded by Horizon Europe & UKRI high-horizons.eu/high-horizons- #scicomm #heatheath

Today I spoke to

because of

about the impact of 2022 being the hottest year on record for our oceans. This included small pelagics (fish), coastal erosion and flooding, intensification of storms, marine heatwaves and #climatechange actions. #scicomm

Was great to talk to my home radio station

@BBCBerkshire

@andrewpeach

this morning about why 2022 being the hottest year on record in the UK matters especially for #ClimateChange impacts. I am always grateful to be able to share more, in the hope it makes a difference. #SciComm

I spoke to

and

about the warmest year on record this evening. With the latter, it was interesting to tie to biodiversity loss w/ #climatechange (I consider them and human health closely linked) but I rather felt I forgot the name of all animals except cod.

Just in case anybody was wondering, the whole of 2022 was hotter than 1976 in the UK at least 😅🥵! In fact, it's now the warmest year on record. The impacts demonstrate a need for more mitigation and adaptation, urgently. #ClimateChange #scicomm

bbc.co.uk

UK weather: 2022 was warmest year ever, Met Office confirms

The average annual temperature last year was more than 10C for the first time, the Met Office says.

I also spoke to

about #climatechange and reduction in crop yields, such as wheat, maize and rice. I mentioned research like this study: emerald.com/insight/conten on gender inequalities in farming + Rice and Arsenic nature.com/articles/s4146 both really interesting.

I spoke to

about the winter #heatwave. My friend Sabine lives in Cyprus and got a mention as we had talked about the effect on plants and wildlife. There's lots of atmospheric dynamics involved here including intercontinental seesaw but it'd be a fab case study.

There has been a recordbreaking winter #heatwave/warm spell in parts of Europe. Interesting dynamics. We know that warm spells are increasing in intensity at a faster rate than summer heatwaves with #climatechange, this + diurnal range impacts health, sports + nature. #scicomm

As we welcome in #2023, I am reflecting for a short moment on what the pearls in my year have been. From going to Ibiza and COP27, to almost finishing my PhD 2022 is memorable. I am greatful for those around me. Happy new year 😊. #ecrchat

2 days later than me my suitcase was finally returned! There was this lovely lady at Eagle Aviation who took multiple phone calls and the delivery man said they had 400 lost bags...

I made it back home for Christmas 🎄😅. Both my flights were delayed and my bag (w/ presents) is hopefully with a courier to me after spending the evening in Frankfurt! This was my 1st visit to Germany... Hoping to eat lots of cheddar in the UK😉! Happy Festive Season 🎉

The article is also in German here, from an Austrian newspaper: sn.at/panorama/inter Good to see this across so much of Europe.

20.000 zusätzliche Tote durch Sommerhitze in Europa

Die sommerliche Hitzewelle in Europa hat einer Studie zufolge möglicherweise zu 20.000 zusätzlichen Todesfällen geführt. Die Zahl sei höher als erwartet, sagte die Klimaforscherin Chloe Brimicombe...

It was one of the highest excess death figures since 2003 if not the highest, with unprecedented record temperatures, coupled with data center shutdown, power outages, trainlines shutting, roads melting, drought compounding food security, wildfire compounding damage. Huge impact.

My comment on this article explaining excess deaths from the 2022 #heatwaves across Europe: "I consider this [2022] ... the most impactful heatwave since 2003 [for Europe]" #ClimateChange #scicomm

reuters.com

Europe's heatwave may have caused more than 20,000 'excess' deaths

Summer heatwaves in France, Germany, Spain and Britain led to more than 20,000 "excess" deaths, a report compiling official figures said on Thursday.
