For those looking for unusual weather patterns as signs of an ever changing climate. Everything points to this being a fairly wild season 55 minutes ago, When Skies are Grey V2 said: Early start to the Atlantic Season - Cat 3 now.

TheTeapot Posted July 1 Author Posted July 1 Mad what's going on there. 150mph sustained winds. Tropical storm two days ago. Quote
TheTeapot Posted July 7 Author Posted July 7 Still going Beryl, gonna make landfall in Texas later as a cat 1 so nothing too serious, but its travelled a long way and caused the experts no end of difficulty. Quote
Chinahand Posted July 7 Posted July 7 Hurricane tracks are ace. No hurricane has ever crossed the equator. https://x.com/konstructivizm/status/1807300786612818343?t=XF_WY4y7KsendQdugvC74g&s=19 Quote
TheTeapot Posted August 5 Author Posted August 5 People often concentrate on the category of a hurricane but sometimes things come along that make a mockery of the category system. Right now we have Tropical Storm Debby. It might be a hurricane by landfall but that's not important. It's going to cause enormous problems for northern Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Slow moving, it's going to dump a preposterous amount of rain. It's been an interesting follow this one. Quote
When Skies are Grey V2 Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Gonna bring massive amounts of water with it, storm surges and tornados! Its all Kamala's fault!! Quote

Coriolis effect is what makes them spin clockwise in the North, anti in the South. They'd have to stop spinning then reverse. Quote
TheTeapot Posted August 9 Author Posted August 9 Nice little side effect of storm Debby (thousands of miles away) is to push the stupid jet stream north. Gonna be hot for a few days. Quote

Anyone Posted August 11 Posted August 11 Next one up is going to be called Ernesto. Looking ahead we’re going to have one called Gordon. That’s a bit like calling your dog Ralph. I mean who does that? Quote

TheTeapot Posted August 29 Author Posted August 29 The weather continues to perplex the experts. A very active season was predicted for the Atlantic, and while early Beryl was a record setter for a bunch of reasons, it has not quite gone as expected. So it's going to rain quite a lot in the Sahara, which means hopefully some lovely photos of desert flowers. 1 Quote
