Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.An offline methodology is applied to estimate parameters of a convective gravity‐wave scheme using momentum flux (MF) observations from constant‐level balloons (left panels: pdfs of east and west MFs in green from observations and black from EnKF). The approach integrates an ensemble Kalman filter with an expectation‐maximization algorithm and permits ...

A retrospective on the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season
Weather, EarlyView.The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season was intermittent, with extended quiet periods separated by three clusters of activity. The broad‐scale conditions were often unfavourable for cyclogenesis and common drivers of activity such as La Niña were weak, but well above‐average sea temperatures still supported intense storms.

Weather, EarlyView.Cyclone Ditwah (2025) made landfall in Sri Lanka as a tropical cyclone with only moderate intensity winds (~65–75kmh−1). Yet, its prolonged heavy rainfall also led to landslides and widespread flooding across Sri Lanka and the southern Indian states, with the combined effects of hazards causing impacts totalling 4.1 billion USD. Ditwah is, therefore, a

Weather, EarlyView.This study documents the unseasonal and prolonged heavy rain events which occurred in southern China during April 2024. In this series of extreme rainfall events, Guangdong province recorded extreme rainfall exceeding 6‐sigma of climatology, with eleven cities reporting record‐breaking rainfall.

Trends in thunderstorm days, lightning activity, squalls and the environmental factors in Hong Kong
Weather, EarlyView.This study analyses trends in Hong Kong's convective weather using long‐term observer‐based and shorter‐term instrument‐based data. Annual thunderstorm days increased significantly by 1.9 days decade−1 in 1947–2024, notably in June–September, consistent with increasingly favourable warm‐season environments for thunderstorms.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Heatwaves are becoming increasingly frequent across the Mediterranean and pose critical challenges for small passerines, yet the physiological and morphological limits to their resilience remain poorly understood.

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the
