I've seen a lot of dropsondes over my years, and a peak wind of 210kt - even at the top of/just beyond the boundary layer - is wild to see. Might be up there in the ranks of all-time strongest dropsonde-measured gusts as well.

From a crewmember on yesterday's Teal 74 mission into now-Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa. As clear of an eye as you will see in the Atlantic basin.

5pm and 198,000 premises are without power with top gust of 148kmh at Malin Head in last hour. The sunny spells have reached most areas as the center of #StormAmy moves Northeast of Ireland.

So this is pretty amazing - yesterday EarthCARE sampled Hurricane Humberto straight across the eye! The eye of a tropical cyclone is small so a direct hit is rare: this is the first time EarthCARE has hit one after over a year in orbit! (Showing here also VIIRS on NOAA-20 for context.)

20 straight days with 30 °C in Finland! Truly unprecedented heatwave still in full swing with maximum today about 32-33 degrees.
Even the Arctic regions (e.g. Sodankylä Tähtelä) have seen three weeks above 25 °C, and may rival tomorrow their August heat records.

Kanadassa riehuu suuria metsäpaloja. Metsäpalojen savuja kulkeutuu Suomen yli nyt sunnuntai-illan (Lounais-Suomi) ja huomisen maanantain aikana. Ennusteen mukaan savua on selvästi silmällä havaittava määrä mikäli pilvisyys sallii. Savu kulkee korkealla, joten sillä ei ole vaikutusta ilmanlaatuun.

Irlannin Ilmatieteen laitos on väliaikaisesti* vahvistanut tuulen keskinopeuden (135 km/h), että tuulenpuuskan (185 km/h) ennätykset. Vanhat ennätykset oli vuodelta 1945.
Konteksti: suomessa havaittiin marraskuussa ensimmäistä kertaa hirmumyrskytuulia Raumalla. Keskinopeus oli tällöin 120 km/h.

The approaching #StormÉowyn is genuinely the most impressive-looking non-tropical cyclone I can clearly recall watching on satellite imagery.
Just look at that vast hook of deep cloud cover around a rapidly rotating 'eye'. Non-tropical cyclogenesis in peak form.

The atmospheric pressures has rapidly started to decline near Ireland as #StormÉowyn approaches. The lowest pressure values are forecasted to be around 940 hPa. One may follow the buoy data on real-time from www.marine.ie/databuoy
