Early start to the Atlantic Season - Cat 3 now.  Windward Islands today (Monday) and then the Caribbean the next few days.

This is the kind of thing that normally happens in late August/September by the way, not June. For those looking for unusual weather patterns as signs of an ever changing climate. Everything points to this being a fairly wild season

Was going to that's really early! 

Cat 4 now at the thing I'm looking at. 

Looking pretty wild on some of the Barbados webcams.

Mad what's going on there. 150mph sustained winds. Tropical storm two days ago.

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.

Hurricane tracks are ace. No hurricane has ever crossed the equator.

Let wait till we get to the letter H for a name.

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.

Gonna bring massive amounts of water with it, storm surges and tornados!  Its all Kamala's fault!!

I don't think they can.  Coriolis effect is what makes them spin clockwise in the North, anti in the South.  They'd have to stop spinning then reverse.

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.

At last, something beneficial from a storm

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?

the weather "experts" it amuses them

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.
