Much of Europe is sweating in an exceptional heat wave.
Heat in Europe has increased 4 times more than in other mid-latitude areas, which has been linked to the Atlantic #coldblob in several studies. #AMOC

The Cold Blob
While the entire planet continues to warm, one specific patch in the North Atlantic just south of Greenland is mysteriously cooling. Scientists call it the "Cold Blob," and it's a terrifying warning sign that one of Earth's most vital climate systems is changing.

It was a pleasure to have @rahmstorf.bsky.social visit us in Utrecht last week! He gave an insightful talk on the cold blob, followed by great discussions over lunch and coffee, underpinning the need to improve our understanding of the #AMOC, its impacts and how to communicate about it. 🌊
The northern Atlantic is the only region of the world which has defied global warming and has been cooling. What is going on there? What does the latest science say about the 'cold blob'? #AMOC

New research shows that a long-debated cold patch near Greenland is linked to a weakening Atlantic circulation system.

Zack also mentions how he calculates local "trends" by deviding them by the global "trend".
Visualizing the ColdBlob also requires such mathsmagic.
My "trend"-synapse is ready to receive meaningfull input like this. But it still denies accepting that it will have to cross-wire into mathsmagic.

Europe's weather depends on going-ons in the North Atlantic & Arctic. El Nino is only a minor factor. All Ninos combined, a temperature change doesn't register in West Europe. Only rainfall increases – IF the ColdBlob is not present.
Most of 2026, the ColdBlob is strong and causes drought and heat.

Surface water south of Greenland is about 2°C lower than normal. The North Atlantic jet stream routes around the #ColdBlob and conveys southern air to Western Europe. We have a pattern of #heatwaves for this summer.
