Rest of World
The heat has been pretty much the main story for the US over the past 10 days but as we progress through the next 10, I have a funny feeling the tropics are going to become the main story as the Atlantic begins to light up and we see systems all of a sudden develop […]
This will go down as one of the quietest tropical seasons in many years or at least the period from June 1 through at least September 1 and while there is no significant likelihood of development over the next several days, there is still a long way to go before this season is done. We […]
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!
The weather has been rather busy over the Mid-latitudes and so it has to an extent, kept me from writing about the tropics. I am been wanting to get a post up on this for a good week nowas things are stirring down there. I don’t know if you’ve been looking at the tropics of late […]

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.
