OK, it's official now. The Netherlands' main meteorological station in De Bilt has its driest month of March on record (1901-), by far.
With just 1.5 mm of rain, it was 97.4% below 'normal' (58 mm) and 79% below the 1929 record so far (7.1 mm).
No rain foreseen for the coming 14 days either.

"Nearly 40 percent of Americans experienced #ExtremeWeather last year — and those who did were more likely to be concerned about #ClimateChange, according to new polling."
From the article:
"“We now expect a 3°C world,” Morgan Stanley analysts wrote earlier this month, citing “recent setbacks to global decarbonization efforts.”"

Not the Atacama desert. But similar rainfall this month, here in central Netherlands. 0.6 mm so far and only a drop or two expected. Bound to become the driest in the 125-year record.

"Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are narrow, elongated regions of intense atmospheric moisture transport that are responsible for a large proportion of midlatitude extreme precipitation. [...] ARs will intensify due to warmer air’s ability to hold more moisture."

Dr Emily Schoerning shares the projections for the Caribbean and the US Pacific Islands, including Puerto Rico and Hawaii.
"resilience around freshwater systems will be very important, as will growing food."
A team led by Brazilian researchers carried out a 70-day expedition around Antarctica to understand the melting rate of glacial ice and to see how the region is reacting to global warming.
The changes in the landscape that the researchers encountered were shocking, leading them to predict that Brazil’s climate will be increasingly affected by warming in Antarctica.

You can see all the big trends clearly before they happen, and then still be surprised by all the completely unanticipated little details of the future.
For example, I absolutely did not expect us to respond to #ClimateChange and #ExtremeWeather events by wrapping our brand new cars in cardboard before the tornados and 2" hailstones arrive.
Oceans at record high temperatures, sea levels rising and glaciers retreating at record speed.
Global heating is contributing to more #extremeweather events that have led the highest levels of displacement, worsening food crises and massive economic losses.

(We will have a severe problem much sooner me thinks - like in the coming 5-10 years - because of food insecurity, famines. Last year 40% global crop loss was calculated for 2025 due to weather disasters alone. There's no sense in calculating some imaginary GDP if there's nothing left to eat.)

"Accelerating Temperature Rise
The Northern Hemisphere temperature was 12.86°C on March 19, 2025, a record daily high and 1.65°C higher than 1979-2000."
"Very high temperature anomalies are forecast over the Arctic Ocean for November 2025. "

"EPA said it is reconsidering the scientific finding that greenhouse gases are a danger to public health. This comes as research shows average global temperatures in 2024 likely rose above a 1.5 degree Celsius threshold that for years has been a red line for climate change."
Silencing climate scientists in the US will ulitimately fail, but it couldn't come at a worse time. We must rally around global efforts to maintain progress.
“We have the solutions – but what stops us is the disinformation campaigns and lobby power of the fossil fuel industry,” Rahmstorf added. “Ignoring reality, denying the laws of physics and silencing scientists can only lead to harm, and ordinary people will pay the price for that.”
