Science moves fast. From AI-driven environmental prediction to a century of turbulence research revisited, the Journal of the European Meteorological Society (JEMS) is where the meteorological community is publishing research and reviews that matter. Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve been publishing.[more]

Florence Rabier will be taking over as EMS President from Liz Bentley on 11 September 2026, at the end of this year’s EMS Annual Meeting in Utrecht. We have interviewed Florence about her career path, her view of this office and the perspectives for EMS under her leadership.[more]

Horst Böttger, President of the EMS 2014 to 2017, passed away on 9 May 2026 in Frechen near Cologne. Horst has been a central actor in the still formative years of the EMS in the late noughties and early 2010s. Memories of friends and colleagues who worked with him at different times …[more]

The award goes to the innovative project: “Workshop with Instant AI Urban Climate Modelling and LEGO®” initiated by Prof. Dr. Lesley De Cruz and developed together with her dedicated research team. This outstanding initiative successfully bridges complex meteorological science and public outreach, making the invisible dynamics of the Urban Heat Island effect both tangible and actionable for audiences of all ages.[more]

Eva Rodríguez Nieto is recognized for her report “Engineering and nature transform the fight against flooding”, in which she examines the global evolution of flood risk management one year after the catastrophic DANA storm that struck Valencia, Spain, in October 2024. The piece highlights a modern, holistic paradigm shift in civil engineering and urban planning.[more]

This year, the European Severe Storms Laboratory (ESSL), turns 20! A nonprofit research organisation dedicated to severe convective storm research and education was formally founded in September 2006. However, the idea behind this initiative had emerged several years earlier.[more]

The recipient of the EMS Tromp Award for outstanding achievement in biometeorology 2026 is Coral Salvador of the University of Bern, awarded for the publication on “Analyzing the effects of drought at different time scales on cause-specific mortality in South Africa”, investigating the link between different types of droughts and cause-specific mortality in South Africa. The study of Coral Salvador and her colleagues sheds light on how age and drought duration influence population vulnerability, filling a critical gap in human health research.[more]
