Today saw the 3RD MAJOR, 115+ mph, landfalling Typhoon cross the southern Japanese island of Okinawa. Yes, with each time the eye crossing right over the island. Just two weeks ago, an even stronger system than Jelawat, came ashore, it’s name was Sanba, remember my post? Pretty incredible stuff. As Jelawat slammed ashore early this morning, the […]
Tonight’s run of the ECMWF now has next week’s very cold air pushing south of the US-Canada border and this could mean an early snowstorm as well as 15-30 below normal temperatures anywhere from Montana to the interior Northeast. While the arctic hound comes acalling next week down the spine of the continent, often during October cold blasts, a strong ridge […]
The arctic has seen the greatest loss of sea ice on record this summer, beating the previous record minimum set back in 2007. In stark contrast and despite all the hysteria about global warming, what you’ll perhaps struggle to see in the news is the fact that the Antarctic has seen a near record extent of sea ice. […]
I have stated multiple times already about the fact that the UK/Ireland autumn should be warmer/wetter than usual when all is said and done at the close of November but that does not mean we can’t see cold spells nor accompanied by snow. Like in 2009, I think we should see wet and stormy conditions with BACKSIDE cold coming down […]
Thought I would touch on a few points regarding the pattern into NEXT WEEK for both the United States and Canada. Noticed me talking about Typhoon Jelawat? Well this system is going to recurve but unfortunately it won’t miss land. The southern Japanese island of Okinawa looks to be yet again a target and powerful Typhoon […]
While the worst September storm in 30 years continues to exit off to the south back down to where it came from, we will see a much brighter, drier day tomorrow although this won’t last long as the pattern is loaded with more stormy action in coming days. While summer has overall been a washout […]
Yet another monster low has formed and can bee seen spinning just south of Alaska, set to bring yet another round of powerful, potentially damaging winds onshore over South-Central Alaska. The GFS shows pressure falling all the way into the mid-950s in mb, incredible. I wonder if this depth is record challenging for September? The centre of this monster is expected to strike […]
The pattern is now undergoing major changes with the return of a more positive NAO/AO with modeling showing the flattening out of the jet which will push the cold air back up into Canada and allow maritime air to flood the Lower 48 for the most part. This will however send in storms as we progress […]
Jelawat has done what Sanba did recently, rapidly intensified, nearly doubling in strength within just 12 hours becoming a SUPER Typhoon over the warm waters of the Philippine Sea. Impress even more is the fact the the second straight super typhoon. This time around, 160 mph Super Typhoon Jelawat will continue it’s current northwesterly path but then will […]
