Rest of World
For the past 3 weeks a large swath of China has been stuck beneath an abnormally strong and stubborn upper level ridge of high pressure which has produced deadly record breaking heat. Skillet-like pavements have been used to cook shrimp and pork while fish are dying in rivers and ponds across 19 provinces, that’s 3 million square miles and a third of […]
It has been rather quiet of late across the tropics as you would expect during the early part of the season, however we do now have a named storm on the charts and that name is Dorian. Dorian is a 50 mph storm heading west, northwest at 20 mph beneath the Mid-Atlantic ridge. Pressure is 1002mb. This […]
We are keeping a close eye on 60 mph Tropical Storm Chantal which is moving fairly quickly in a WNW direction over the Western Atlantic. Chantal is modestly organised at this time and could be considered a fairly strong tropical system with an increasingly well defined low level circulation as you can see from the below satellite image. There is […]
As we approach July, one must start watching the tropical Atlantic as the MJO index looks set to enter increasingly more favourable octants. While the GFS is going through phase 1, the ECMWF clearly shows it entering phase 2 and that’s prime time for western Atlantic development over the next couple of weeks. Quite often when the […]
It’s long been known than an increase in high latitude volcanic activity has been linked to an increase in winter blocking and colder winters in the mid-latitude world. We saw an increase in volcanic activity prior to the bitter cold winter of 2009-10 which shivered much of the Northern world including the United States and Great Britain. We are currently and have for […]

The tropics come alive this week with a threat to Florida late week into the weekend. Flooding could become an East Coast problem next weekend and beyond!

Could see 20-40 twisters next 36 hours. Heating up over the Ohio Valley and Northeast. 1st 90s from DC to Boston late week into the weekend.

The threat area increases Tuesday and by Wednesday it looks like the conditions will all be excellent forthe worst day of severe weather and tornado potential. As for […]
The Atlantic Basin Hurricane Season begins June 1st and from what I am seeing in terms of the type of spring we’ve seen over North America and the sea surface temperatures over the Atlantic, there is reason to be concerned. The Gulf of Mexico is currently below normal while the tropical Atlantic from Leeward Islands to the Senegal […]
