June 2025 highlights:

June 2025 was the third-warmest June globally, with an average ERA5 surface air temperature of 16.46°C, 0.47°C above the 1991-2020 average for June.

June 2025 was 1.30°C above the estimated 1850-1900 average used to define the pre-industrial level. It was only the third month in the last 24 with a global temperature less than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level.
 
The average temperature over European land for June 2025 was 18.46°C, 1.10°C above the 1991-2020 average for June, making the month the fifth-warmest June in the record.
 
The average sea surface temperature (SST) for June 2025 over 60°S–60°N was 20.72°C, the third-highest value on record for the month, 0.13°C below the June 2024 record.
 
Arctic sea ice extent was 6% below average, the second lowest monthly extent for June in the 47-year satellite record. During the latter part of the month, the daily extent was consistently the lowest for the time of year.
 
In June 2025, it was drier than average in western and southern Europe, as well as much of the UK and regions of southern Scandinavia, and parts of western Russia.

From Vienna to the world: launch of citizen science campaign to measure #trees and map carbon

On 23 June 2025, #IIASA will launch the global #CitizenScience “Tree-Quest” campaign at the Living Planet Symposium in #Vienna, inviting people from all over the world to take part using the free #GeoQuest app. As part of the Citizens for #Copernicus project, IIASA researchers will also lead hands-on workshops with schoolchildren at the symposium, teaching them how to use the app and collect ground data that will help scientists map the #carbon stored in trees with #satellite data more accurately.

In Bangladeschs Nordosten hat starker Regen zu schweren #Überschwemmungen geführt.

In #Sylhet fielen am 1. Juni innerhalb von 24 Stunden rund 405 mm #Niederschlag.

#Satellitenbilder von #Copernicus zeigen große überflutete Flächen. Die Daten helfen bei der #Katastrophenhilfe sowie bei der langfristigen Planung für mehr #Klimaanpassung und #Resilienz.

Smoke from intense Canadian wildfires reaches Europe.

About 200 fires are actively burning in Canada and have consumed about 19,900 square kilometres of terrain, most of it in the last week.

The EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) said this week that smoke from wildfires in the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan had even been transported across the Atlantic, reaching Europe.

🌿 New research alert from #Embed2Scale ‼️

💡 A new study by our partners at the University of Zurich demonstrates how super-resolution techniques using Sentinel-1 & Sentinel-2 data can significantly enhance existing biomass maps—offering 10m resolution estimates that are both more accurate and less biased.

Over half of Europe and Mediterranean basin hit by drought in mid-May

The European #CentralBank warned on May 23 of major #economic risks from drought, which can threaten up to 15% of production in the #eurozone due to increasing #ExtremeWeather caused by climate change

More than half, or 53%, of land in #Europe and the #Mediterranean basin were hit by #drought in mid-May, according to an #AFP analysis of data from the European Drought Observatory (#EDO) from May 11-20, 2025.

It was the highest level recorded for that period of time in the year since monitoring began in 2012, and more than 20 points higher than the average between 2012-2024.

The EU's #Copernicus #ClimateChange Service, based on #satellite imagery, takes into account three benchmarks: #precipitation, or #rainfall, soil #moisture and the state of #vegetation.
