While Isaac may seen as though it’s decaying fast and there’s going to be nothing left within the next 36 hours, think again! The tropical moisture still holding on with the circulation that was once Isaac will spread east into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Monday through Wednesday and particularly Tuesday and Wednesday this moisture will merge with a cold […]
Now that meteorological summer has officially ended, The Weather Network have come up with some figures which look back at what kind of summer it’s been over Canada. To sum it up in two words, it’s been WARM & DRY! New Brunswick, Novia Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland are amoungst the majority of Canada which […]
It’s been a winter which will likely become known as one of the worst in many years from Alice Springs to the East Coast. Persistent high pressure systems and southerly air flows supported frequent spells of ‘worst cold nights’ in 20, 30, 40, 50+ years from southern Queensland all the way to Tasmania. We even saw record cold […]
Tropical Storm Leslie is being closely watched by the US East Coast residents, especially after what we’ve seen with Hurricane Isaac. There remains a lot of uncertaintly with Leslie , same old story right? but as of now, I do believe there is probably no more than a 30% chance that Leslie will impact the US. […]

Earlier today, people in the Philippines ran to higher ground as a major undersea earthquake measuring 7.6 magnitude struck, causing strong shaking which lasted a long time according to one person. The epicentre of this earthquake was located roughly 91 miles east of Guiuan in Samar province of Philippines within the Philippine Trench at a depth of 20 miles […]
The timing of a storm intensifying into a fully fledged hurricane can mean the difference between a hit on the US or it remaining a fish storm with a recurve over the western or even central Atlantic depending on positioning and weaknesses within the Mid-Atlantic ridge. As with Isaac, I believed this thing would remain weak […]
While Isaac relentlessly pounds the Gulf Coast and is now ever so slowly creeping north, spreading vast amounts of rain with it up across Louisiana and Mississippi, the heat is on across the Northern Plains where temperatures are climbing into the mid-100s across the Dakotas this afternoon. A strong upper high is supporting these warm numbers but with […]
Hurricane Isaac continues to hold an impressive structure on radar and satellite presentation despite making not one but two landfalls along the Louisiana coast. The warm, moist, swampy land down across far southern Louisiana and slow forward speed in the single digits with a period in which it stalled, drifted west and hugged the coast, all […]
