Massive sea creature heading for Oman 🤪

Satellite imagery from @planet.com has started to reveal the events that killed 70 people at Dharal and Harshil in India on 5 August 2025. Heavy rainfall triggered landslides that transitioned into channelised debris flows. eos.org/thelandslide...

The strange case of the 31 August 2025 landslides at Tarasin in Darfur, Sudan - >1,000 people were widely reported to have died in this event. Examination of @planet.com satellite imagery casts significant doubt on this interpretation, suggesting a much lower loss of life. eos.org/thelandslide...

At least 15 people are known to have been killed by the debris flow and flood from the landslide dam breach that was triggered by typhoon Ragasa. Reports suggest that 15.4 million tonnes of water were released, causing 80 metres of downcutting of the landslide dam. eos.org/thelandslide...

Satellite images from @planet.com show the level of damage in Guangfu in the aftermath of the breach of the Matai'an landslide dam in Taiwan in typhoon #Ragasa. It is clear that a very large part of the community suffered inundation. In total, 18 people were killed and seven are still missing.

Going to be more intense than the first one.

One squall has passed over Mumbai. A second one will hit soon.

Long wet spell in Gujarat. Depression/low pressure will drift and linger in the Kutch region till Oct 2 and when its finally moving out to the sea, upcoming Western Disturbance will pull it back causing heavy rains in south and east Gujarat on Oct 7 & 8.

The depression looks like a cyclone right now with an eye-like feature just off the south coast of Gujarat! Can be something related to land interaction.

Mumbai (Santacruz & Colaba) again recorded the third lowest maximum temperature for September today, Sep 28. Santacruz: 25.5C Colaba: 25.4C

Northwestern Venezuela was struck by several large earthquakes today and yesterday (M6.2, 5.8, 6.3). Why did these shallow thrust events occur in an area where previously only strike-slip earthquakes have been documented? We speculate about the geology in our latest post. ⚒️ 🧪

Weather models expect some exceptionally warm global temperature anomalies to develop over the coming week, analogous to what we saw back in January 2025: http://www.karstenha...

After falling for much of the year (following the record warmth of 2023 and 2024), global temperatures have started to tick back up over the past 6 weeks. We are currently on track for the third warmest September on record.

Similar to last year, there's an unusual peak-season quiet in the Atlantic this hurricane season. But that quiet will likely end this week due to the expected development of Invest 92L in the central tropical Atlantic. The latest from @bhensonweather.bsky.social and I:

Mumbai (Santacruz) recorded a max of 25.7C today, Sep 15 which is the third lowest for September beating 25.8C of Sep 25, 1981. Colaba recorded 25.8C which ties with Sep 22, 2016 as the third lowest. Records kept at the both stations since 1969.
