Cinnamon roll aurora just happened now over my house near Fairbanks, Alaska

Interesting.

This is the most Cheyenne, Wyoming video that has ever Cheyenne, Wyoming-ed Just missing some baseball-sized hail

After a bit of data analyzation, confirmed a mountain tornado that occurred earlier this month across Sawtooth Mountain. This tornado was at about 11,300ft and is only the third confirmed tornado in Saguache County since 1995! #cowx

The aspens are on FIRE this year! This is just a few clips of the 75+ we took in Teller and El Paso County. Here is just SOME of the amazing footage! #Colorado #pueblo #denver #stormchasers #cowx #mountains #coloradosprings #fallcolors #leafpeeping #Mountains #PikesPeak

An elegant waltz occurs just off the East Coast of the US, as Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda put on a captivating performance.

That's pretty high up there.

Last night an incredible scene unfolded when I escaped some clouds and saw the magnificent Aurora herself underneath the beautiful stars. 📍Logan Iowa 9/29/25

Oh. 👀

Omg look at this GORGEOUS aurora in Posio, Finland happening right now! Beautiful green and red curtains are filling the sky. Europe is getting absolutely bathed in aurora tonight. Amazing stuff!

The Poster's Mindset

It's been a really slow start to aurora season up here. Got a little peek at some colors last night.

Wife brought her 100 year old film camera to that pirates game from a few weeks ago and she got this shot that's just perfect

Autumn in New Hampshire

My SDS (storm deprivation syndrome) is kicking in already, and it's not even October... This is going to be a long winter

Today we got two landspout tornadoes in Apulia, one of them was anticyclonic, bringing the yearly total (for now) of this kind of tornadoes in Italy up to three. Impressive

This Dark-eyed Junco got nice and close for me tonight. #birds

In 1-minute #GOES19/#GOESEast Infrared images, the eye of #Humberto began to exhibit a bit of trochoidal motion as the hurricane further intensified later in the day: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl...

ISS astronaut Jonny Kim just shared this snap of Humberto's eye today. You can actually see the seafoam taper off between the eyewall and the eye. Amazing stuff.

This is just about as perfect a hurricane as you'll ever see in the Atlantic. Category 5 Humberto:

The U.S. used to have 400-500 lightning fatalities a year. Globally, we see 24,000 fatalities a year from lightning - many of them occurring at sporting events. Really shameful to see this on Big Noon Kickoff.

Incredible TDWR loop showing a beautifully appealing slow-rolling boundary collision that ultimately results in an entire line of storms convecting at once! Love this stuff -- you usually see this out in the plains, not Florida!

Strong dusty tornado on April 25th, 2025 near Bula, TX - join the chase with me in 2026 at stormgroupchasers.com or follow me on Facebook at peter.wharton.storm.chaser

Yesterday morning, I found this tree in a small valley surrounded by mist. When shooting low, the bokeh was some of the coolest I’ve ever photographed. 🌲

Cool #supercell earlier in western #Indiana west of Boswell #Benton county. Storm was rotating pretty decent and i thought for sure it was gonna plant one…. But nope. Lots of rotation but just couldn’t get it done. #wxsky #storms #wind #nwsIndianapolis

September 22-24, 2009: A substantial dust storm swept across the Australian states of Queensland and New South Wales. The storm was over 600 miles long and completely engulfed some of Australia's largest cities. It was NSW's worst dust storm in nearly 70 years.

In a UN speech today, President Trump said that "all of these [climate] predictions were wrong". Back in 2019 I led a research effort to digitize old climate model projections and assess how well they did. Turns out they got future warming pretty spot on!

Some lightning today

Now a Category 4, #Gabrielle's satellite presentation continues to improve. Great time to watch the mesoscale loop as the sun goes down!

Hurricane Gabrielle becomes a major storm. This morning's view shows a few bursts of intense convection within Gabrielle's inner core.

Closeup imagery of Super Typhoon Ragasa, wow! x.com/WeathermanAA...

Olamide Zaccheaus went for the jumping celebration with DJ Moore who didn't see him 😭🤣

You versus the TC she tells you not to worry about

INCREDIBLE damage path left on satellite by a #tornado in Zhalantun, China on September 3. This tornado thankfully stayed over fields its entire life, had it impacted structures it could have potentially produced EF3 or higher damage (based on other analyses I've done in the past). #WxSky #weather

Not sure if it was a complex shelf cloud or an embedded mesocyclone, but the sights in north Norman early this morning were other-worldly 🛸⛈️

Go see a tornado sometime, it's incredible.
