There’s always high levels of uncertainty when it comes to tropical systems entering the mid-latitude pattern, especially when your looking up to a week out. Former storms or hurricanes adding energy, often energising the jet stream and enhancing baroclinicity. Many September’s gone by have seen stormy weather with direct hits from former hurricanes, probably the most notable of recent times […]

Two other areas which stand out as very warm this […]

With the combination of warm water and good atmospheric conditions, 96L was born and days later TS Earl was born west of the Lesser Antilles. Over the even warmer waters of the southwest Caribbean Sea, Earl […]
