This pumpkin had the bit between his teeth

Alrighty, ready to see something really cool? (and maybe a little nauseating) The evolution of Hurricane Melissa's mesovortices at peak strength.

A jaw-dropping view of the sun setting on Hurricane Melissa tonight. Melissa continues its approach to Jamaica as a powerful, major hurricane.

This is definitely something worthy of quantitative analysis and experiments. It is very hard to know otherwise how much of the error was due to the lack of weather balloons. Forecast failures happen, and tropical cyclones moving into the extratropics are a common source of these.

Sea ice extent increasing as you'd expect N of Russia/Alaska/Canada ... but just look at the N European sector..some parts actually seeing a decrease in recent weeks ..

The anti-climate bots have made it to Bluesky. Overnight I received dozens of replies, quotes, and mentions from bot-looking accounts that are seemingly intent on spreading climate doom. All these posts were encouraging me and my audience to give up. Please block these accounts if you see them.

The @metoffice.gov.uk use weather station observations to reconstruct changes in UK average temperature since 1884. @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social produce the ERA5 reanalysis which reconstructs global weather every hour back to 1950 using a weather forecast model. Their estimates agree. Just sayin'.

#StormAmy ’s magnificent swirl as seen from @eumetsat.int’s Meteosat-12 satellite 🛰️

What a beauty... a terrible monstrous beauty... #StormAmy #Humberto from METEOSAT-12/ MTG water vapour 6.2micron channel: The dark area is dry, descending air. Where it forms the scorpion's tail in the final frame (dare I say "sting") is location of some of the most violent winds

⚠️⚠️ Amber weather warning issued ⚠️⚠️ Strong, damaging winds due to #StormAmy across parts of northern and western Scotland Friday 1700 – Saturday 0900 Latest info 👉 bit.ly/WxWarning Stay #WeatherAware ⚠️

#StormAmy has been named and is forecast to bring strong winds and heavy rain to the UK later on Friday and into Saturday #WeatherAware

youtu.be/yxQFUorHZlw?... Keep up to date with the weather this week, expecting a stormy spell Friday night 💨

The sun rises over Hurricane #Humberto, around 600 miles northeast of Puerto Rico.

It is "established fact" that humans have warmed the Earth by burning fossils fuels and that our emissions have made climate extremes more frequent and intense (IPCC AR6) Thank you for your attention to this matter! www.carbonbrief.org/...

An extraordinary satellite view of Super Typhoon Ragasa. The Category 5 storm continues to bring significant impacts to the Philippines.

While it’ll be very warm for some, other will be very wet. Rain warnings issued ⚠️ Flooding possible

Warm or wet to colder and drier it’s all in the 10DT ⬇️

A yellow warning for wind remains out for much of the day today across England and Wales ⚠️ Here are the highest wind gusts from overnight 👇

Shocked by the terrible news about Jay. He was a great broadcaster, excellent communicator and most importantly a very nice bloke with a sly sense of humour who never took himself too seriously. RIP Jay Wynne 😔 Jay Wynne, former BBC weather presenter, dies aged 56 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Cracking Cb to the northwest of Exeter this morning Lit up by the rising sun 🔥

But it was ‘just summer’…..

Fresh list

20 years ago today: #Katrina was a monster Category 5 hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico with maximum sustained winds of 150kts (173mph) and a 902mb central pressure. By this point, the aftermath was already very well predicted... [1/4]

It’s just summer….

Just stunning 😍

Watch our planet warm - and especially tune into the last decade... 100 years of January-July temperature compared to average over land areas through this year. Data provided by NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0: www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/lan...

Fine weekend ahead with mix of sun and cloud and temps rising a tad ⬇️

A spectacular view of Hurricane Erin swirling north as lightning flashes throughout the system.

Stunning imagery of lightning within Hurricane Erin. Erin remains a powerful, major hurricane.

My brother swam across the Humber* this morning 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 *It was an organised event so don’t try this at home

Motherfucking wind farms…

🤝

Cumulus clouds swirl along the Gulf Coast. This mesmerizing view captured yesterday by GOES-19.

Oh…

Crewkerne station in Somerset is closed until further notice because the ground is so dry that the railway embankments can't support trains running at normal speeds Another example of how our infrastructure isn't resilient to climate change - adaption needed! www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-...

Thunderstruck?!?

🌡️ Heat is building across the UK this week, temperatures could reach 32-33°C during the weekend 👇

Final push on my article about women's football before I post a new article later this week... If you don't read it you're a sexist or something.

Great responsibility and very rewarding to nail the shipping forecast when I was lucky enough to read it. Tough read at the best of times… but at the end of a night shift when you had the fabulous Susan Rae making you giggle sitting in the chair next to you 🤪 😅

Today, Earth reaches its aphelion, the point in its orbit which is farthest from the Sun 🌍 It might seem strange that this happens during summer in the northern hemisphere, but remember, the seasons are determined by the Earth's tilt, not its distance from the Sun ☀️

I’m sure this site had lots of hits yesterday when the anomalies were 10-12 C warmer than average. Sometimes it’s good to be reminded: today is a typical UK July day. Istheukhotrightnow.com

Some maps are red Some maps are blue There’s more red ones nowadays Because of me and you 😘

Yet more scaremongering in the Telegraph, so it's worth quoting one of the few named experts in the piece, Simon Gallagher: "There is no evidence of a recent spike in [transformer] fires or failure rates" www.linkedin.com/posts/simonc...
