A Sudden Stratospheric Warming is on the way. In about two weeks, temperatures 12 miles up over Canada and Greenland are forecast to spike by 50°F or more. That’s a shockwave in the stratosphere — a rapid disruption of the polar vortex high above the Arctic… 1/

There's a decent chance that HURRICANE SEASON 2025 IS OVER. Hostile upper winds are increasingly dominating the tropics. If this is it, the season ends with near normal numbers EXCEPT for 3 Category 5's including Melissa, which was stunningly and tragically off the charts. More at HurricaneIntel.com

For only the second time in recorded history, an Atlantic season has produced three Category 5 hurricanes... the previous year was 2005. This puts 2025 in an elite class of hurricane seasons. It also means that nearly 7% of all known Category 5 hurricanes have occurred just in this year.

A common criticism of global warming is: “It’s only a few degrees”.
It may not sound like much but consider this…

Barack Obama and the late-Senator John McCain exchange funny roasts. Back when presidential candidates had class, a sense of humor, and respect for the office. Not to mention actual qualifications for the job. Feels like a million years ago.

Zooming out and looking at the GOES-19 Full Disk View, the western hemisphere is finally acting like September for #TC activity.
While ET #Gabrielle is existing stage right, #Hurricane #Humberto (Cat 4 125 kt) & #TD9 (30 kt) have taken its place.
Also can't forget Hurricane #Narda in the EPAC. 🌀
