Hurricane Melissa produced the fastest hurricane winds to be recorded by a dropsonde, verified by reviewing data at NSF NCAR! Hurricane Melissa’s 252 mph wind gust surpassed the previous record from Typhoon Megi over the Western Pacific in 2010, where a dropsonde measured wind gusts of 248 mph.

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis – by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot

This is insane. 🤦♂️
Why do tech giants like Elon Musk and Bill Gates keep on saying such dumb things about climate change?
They have access to the best possible experts, who could actually teach them something, if they would only ask and listen…

At this stage, it's probably worth mentioning the #rain totals too! #StormAmy (thank you @scottishepa.bsky.social) . Already topping 100mm/36h at many stns in the west, after a drookit week www2.sepa.org.uk/rainfall/
