Passing Time Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 2 hours ago, TheTeapot said: 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. Are we likely to be impacted in a negative way?

There's been an unexplained cooling in the equitorial Atlantic, which earlier this year was at a record high. Talk of it becoming an Atlantic La Nina, which is a new one! Experts baffled. https://www.climate.gov/news-features/event-tracker/atlantic-nina-verge-developing-heres-why-we-should-pay-attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certainly some strange things going on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Results are in for the Sept to Sept Storm season. 2023 - 2024 was indeed the stormiest there has been since they started naming storms in 2015. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-storm-centre/uk-storm-season-2023-24#:~:text=The 2023%2F24 storm season saw 12 named storms%2C the,on the 22 August 2024. It would be interesting to see any data going further back than this though. This is despite me pointing out on one of the threads (Douglas Stinky Beach/Douglas Prom Wall?) that this year has been windier than a Labrador after a bean curry and being rebuked by the usual suspects.

TheTeapot Posted September 23 Author Share Posted September 23 Opportunity to watch a potentially major hurricane develop this week. It's not yet a storm, but it will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted September 24 Author Share Posted September 24 Day two. Not much has really changed, the National Hurricane Centre have called it Tropical Storm Helene, although it isn't fully formed. Spinning up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 Hmm. I had put an image in that post yesterday. It looked a bit like this one, but different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinpot Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 As a long suffering insomniac who has been following various American Facebook groups and other social media feeds for most of the night, it does indeed sound like they have had a right pasting over there. Its a mighty thing the weather, and as much as I love a good storm it’s sometimes nice that we live in a part of the world that typically has pretty unspectacular weather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted September 27 Author Share Posted September 27 The most impressive thing about this storm was how early all the models had it, I could have posted about it days before I did when it was nothing at all. Can do it all over again in another 10 days, Meanwhile Europe (and possibly us) might pick up some effects from a very soon to be Hurricane Isaac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Helen launched 1000 ships. Looks like Helene is going to wreck 1000. Weird starting point for Issac. Very North East. 1 hour ago, TheTeapot said: The most impressive thing about this storm was how early all the models had it, I could have posted about it days before I did when it was nothing at all.

TheTeapot Posted October 7 Author Share Posted October 7 Helene was incredibly well forecast. They are having less success with Milton, which is going to cause all kinds of trouble for Florida this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
