Sudden deactivation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation
As Randall [1] explains, in recent years atmospheric science has been “struggling to understand a very large and powerful tropical weather system called the Madden-Julian oscillation, or MJO. The MJO occurs mainly over the remote tropical oceans and was not discovered until the early 1970s. It strongly influences precipitation over southern Asia and northern Australia, affecting the lives of literally billions of people. It is also believed to influence the timing and intensity of El Niños. Despite its im-portance, the MJO is perhaps the last type of weather system for which the basic physi-cal mechanisms are not well understood.” Following Hottovy [2], 10 years after Ran-dall, one can state that nowadays “there is a lot of hypotheses about basic physical mechanisms of the MJO but not a consensus on them.”

A Tale of Mathematics and Climate Science
Researchers from the CAFE project have collaborated with the book series ‘Els contes de La Laura i en Joan’ (The Laura and Joan’s Stories), where the characters explore mathematical models that help predict extreme weather phenomena.
The CAFE Project Held its Final Conference in Barcelona
At the end of last month, September 27th-29th, the Climate Advanced Forecasting of sub-seasonal Extremes Final Conference (CAFE) was celebrated. CAFE is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network with a
Progress in sub-seasonal forecasting of weather extremes (via ECMWF)
Sub-seasonal (also referred to as extended-range) prediction, looking about two weeks to one month ahead, can provide vital early warning of weather extremes and is a key area of research and operational interest. Improving forecasts of extreme events is also a key goal within ECMWF’s Strategy. We are ECMWF scientists working on sub-seasonal prediction of extreme weather events in Europe leveraging pattern-based forecasting, as part of the EU-funded Climate Advanced Forecasting of sub-seasonal Extremes (CAFE) project. The four-year CAFE project is now drawing to a close and we share the main findings from our projects here.
Scorching Europe: Record-breaking Heatwaves Raise Questions about Extreme Weather
Multiple heatwaves have been the focal point of the summer experienced in several countries across the European continent. Portugal and Spain, for example, have registered temperatures well over 40 ºC, and some governments have been forced to issue extreme weather notices in the face of draughts, raging wildfires and the rise in the number of heat-related deaths.
