Rainfall has been most significant so far with Ex-tropical storm/hurricane Bertha which continues to drive intense rain pulses and lines of thunderstorms north over Ireland and the UK as well as France into the Low Countries. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Despite Bertha no longer being tropical, these systems still retain tropical energy, helped by a warmer than normal […]
Iselle has been battering Hawaii’s eastern chain throughout the past 12-24 hours with damaging wind and flooding rain. The system however has been rapidly weakening on final approach with a downgrade to TS status ahead of landfall. Therefore there was technically no ‘first hurricane landfall in 22 years’. Poor representation of a tropical cyclone this morning with […]

While we know the remnants of Bertha is coming, it’s now a question of how big the impact is and what next. The GFS is clearly much stronger with Bertha than the ECMWF. Interestingly the GFS has been consistent at taking Bertha into the central or southern UK, likely producing gales (maybe not just inland) as well […]

For the first time in nearly 20 years, a hurricane looks set to make a direct landfall on paradise. Through the rest of today, Iselle is expected to Cat 1, 80 mph intensity as she makes landfall tonight on Hawaii’s Big Island where a rare hurricane warning is currently in effect. Originally, it was thought that both cooler subsurface waters […]

We’ve entered a very different weather pattern across Western Europe in the past week with the complete breakdown of the ridge and return of a more typical Atlantic driven pattern. The pattern turns increasingly unsettled this weekend as we’ve got a soaking low swinging into southern Britain from the SW, well ahead of former hurricane […]

As you know, Hawaii is currently under the gun of not one but two hurricanes with hurricane warning’s up for Hawaii’s Big Island. Pretty rare given they only had a direct hit by a storm or hurricane twice since 1954. While Iselle is expected to weaken to a tropical storm before impacting paradise, the system has in […]
