Nasser Winter, heißer Sommer? Was das "Klima-Zickzack" für #Großbritannien bedeutet

Nach einem trockenen 2025 mit dem wärmsten Sommer Großbritanniens aller Zeiten lieferte der Winter 2026 etwas ganz anderes: Regen an 50 Tagen in Folge in Teilen von Devon und Cornwall, eine der regenreichsten Jahreszeiten aller Zeiten und nur 80 % durchschnittlicher Sonnenschein.

Scientists have given this a name: #climatewhiplash.

Wet winter, hot summer? What ‘climate whiplash’ means for the UK

Sharp seasonal swings are happening more often – and they’re a big problem for homes, food and infrastructure.

Why CO2zero as soon as is necessary – illustrated with the #ClimateWhiplash of weather extremes in Australia. From fire weather and destructive fires to deluges a few weeks later – which on burnt ground devoid of plant roots also increase the risk of mud slides and damage to infrastructure by increasing the water amount that doesn't get retained by soil but instead hits bridges, roads, buildings.

"Almost 1 in 5 (17%) of the #cities studied emerge as experiencing ‘#ClimateWhiplash’ – the intensification of both droughts and floods – and 20% of cities have seen a major flip from one extreme to the other.

The report shows how cities in Southern Asia are becoming overwhelmingly flood-prone and European cities are exhibiting significant drying trends, all of which can impact people’s clean #water access and water security."

California doesn’t need to settle for a dysfunctional status quo in water management, as the authors of this op-ed point out: "Instead, it can begin to manage water scarcity as a routine fact of life, like traffic. Other Western states do this. California can, too." https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/california-water-management-drought-18140663.php #CAwater #water #drought #climatechange #climatewhiplash #california @sfchronicle
Water is precious out west. California barely even tries to manage it

Ancient farming strategy holds promise for climate resilience | Cornell Chronicle

Maslins, or mixtures of grains planted and eaten together, have fed humans for millennia. Now nearly forgotten, they can adapt in real time to unpredictable weather and extreme weather.
