New record daily global average temperature reached in July 2024
The Earth has just experienced its warmest day in recent history, according to the C3S data. On 21 July 2024, the daily global average temperature reached a new record high in the ERA5 dataset, at 17.09°C, slightly exceeding the previous record of 17.08°C from 6 July 2023.
Workshops highlight Copernicus value for renewable energy
In recent years, C3S and CAMS have offered a growing volume of environmental data spanning past, present, and short- to medium-term forecasts, along with future climate projections.
Heatwaves – a brief introduction
A heatwave is a prolonged period of much-warmer-than-average weather.
Key insights from the European State of the Climate Report 2023
The second episode of the Climate & Atmosphere podcast's second season was dedicated to the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) and the World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) European State of the Climate 2023 report.
Why do we keep talking about 1.5°C and 2°C above the pre-industrial era?
The thresholds of 1.5°C and 2°C above the pre-industrial average global temperature have been temporarily exceeded several times in recent months.
C3S, WMO launch joint data rescue effort portal
Data rescue is a relatively little-known field, but it is essential to complete our knowledge of the past climate, in particular in the most remote areas of the planet, where weather records are scarce.
Case studies
Demonstrating heat stress in European cities
Urban environments experience higher temperatures than their rural surroundings. These higher temperatures can negatively impact human health, including causing cardiovascular and respiratory disorders, as well as heat stroke.
SCO FLAude: Understanding extreme hydrometeorological events in Aude and Occitanie in the context of climate change
By analysing past and future extreme events as well as measuring the impact of flooding on territories, FLAude will help propose adequate decision-making tools and territorial planning in collaboration with public actors.
Visualising and processing climate data within MATLAB
By pulling data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service’s (C3S) Climate Data Store (CDS), MATLAB users can visualise and process climate data within the MATLAB environment.
Climate change in the Køge Bay region of the Baltic Sea
The Danish Meteorological Institute has showcased the value of C3S data for coastal areas in the Copenhagen region of Denmark.
Coastal flooding in Ireland
Dutch research institute Deltares looked into how sea level and storm surge data from the C3S Climate Data Store (CDS) can be used to address questions related to the impact of climate change on coastal flooding at local scales in Ireland.
Climate Analogues – finding tomorrow's climate today
With Climate Analogues, users can look at the potential future climate of a selected location. The application presents three other locations and their respective climates, each of which has a current climate that could match the future climate of the selected location.
