Human-induced climate change made the extreme fire weather that fuelled the recent destructive wildfires at least twice as likely in France and at least 20 times more likely in Spain, according to our new study.

➡️ Climate change is driving drought in Europe - but not how you might expect. While there isn't a clear signal for climate change impacting the dry weather, extreme heat is sucking more moisture out of the landscape. (1/3)

NEW: Climate change supercharged the rainfall that caused deadly flooding that killed almost 100 in Togo, Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire. The most extreme rainfall fell between June 20-22 across coastal regions with more than 140mm falling in less than 24 hours in some major cities. (1/5)

🔥NEW: Our study finds the ongoing European heatwave would have been impossible without climate change (1/6)

NEW: An estimated 7% of the entire population of the critically-endangered Tapanuli Orangutan were killed in a single weather event, according to research led by Borneo Futures with @frediotto.bsky.social as an author. An estimated 58 Orangutans were killed by landslides during Cyclone Senyar (1/4)

NEW: Players and fans face increased heat danger at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, since USA '94. Our results show that from Miami to Kansas City, climate change is increasing the risk of playing the World Cup in much of the northern hemisphere during summer. (1/2)

RAPID ANALYSIS: It would be ‘virtually impossible’ for the record-breaking March heat currently scorching the U.S. West to occur without climate change. We are seeing summer-like temperatures arrive exceptionally early from the Pacific to the Rockies this week. 🧵1/4

We’re excited to announce that @frediotto.bsky.social has been awarded Germany’s highest honour for her groundbreaking work on climate science and extreme weather. The award recognises her pivotal role in revolutionising attribution science: connecting extreme weather events to climate change.

New study: Intense rainfall - like the deluge behind Brazil’s recent fatal landslides - will intensify as the planet continues to warm. Over 70 were killed in the state of Minas Gerais in late February with Juiz de Fora - the worst impacted city - seeing its wettest month on record. 🧵 1/4

NEW STUDY: Winter downpours are getting heavier in parts of Spain, Portugal and Morocco as the region recovers from a month of relentless storms. Between mid-January and mid-February nine named storms brought torrential rain hurricane force winds causing major damage and disruption. 1/5

NEW STUDY: Climate change is fueling deadly fires that threaten some of the world’s oldest living things: the ancient Alerce trees of Patagonia, which can live for over 3,000 years. Our analysis shows that human-induced warming is making weather conditions more conducive to fire. 1/5

💡New Study: Southern Africa was hit by intense rainfall this month. Our analysis has found that downpours in the region are now 40% more intense than they were in pre-industrial times. The resulting floods across Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Eswatini have been catastrophic. 🧵 (1/4)
