Hello folks! I like the weather, and coding, and helping to connect people & ideas. I LOVE my family. (sunset image above: Seaford in Sussex, taken looking towards the entrance to Newhaven. Photo from Chris Plumley https://bsky.app/profile/crp.bsky.soci)

Alan Gerard has started a substack that I find very useful. Here is the latest: high temperatures 15 degrees above normal in the US midwest and Canada. Details below!

This is hot for Texas - I expect ERCOT will be challenged by these conditions.

This is worth watching. Especially at night. Or when it is raining. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCZK...

Over the last 7 days, last 30 days, last 90 days, of these 3 models: the AI model from ECMWF known as AIFS, the traditional weather models ECMWF IFS and the NOAA GFS, it was the AI weather model AIFS that has the best 5-day Northern Hemisphere (20N to 80N) anomaly correlation. (image: Ryan Maue)

“Toad, Toad, wake up. It is May now.” “What?” said Toad. “Can it be May so soon?”

Radar and SPC damaging wind report loop of the severe storm complex/derecho that expanded from Illinois into Pennsylvania on Tuesday, producing widespread wind damage especially across Ohio and Pennsylvania:

California, which recently passed Japan to be the world's 4th largest economy, appears to be achieving such economic success while also achieving success in the ever increased use of renewable energy.

PJM set a new record #solar energy generation today at 12,001 MW. PJM is a transmission operator and #energy market covering a large portion of the U.S. from the Mid-Atlantic to Chicago.

It's warming up across the UK this week, with the highest temperatures likely peaking on Friday 😎

Man, what a temperature gradient across New York tomorrow! Our in-house model showing nearly 80° in NYC to the 20s in the North Country. #NYwx #wxonthe1s

That is one pretty low off the Pacific Northwest coast.

This is really really unusual!

NWS crews have confirmed more than 80 tornadoes from the March 14-16 outbreak. The outbreak produced at least four EF-4 tornadoes and at least nine EF-3 tornadoes.

The extent of sea ice around the world continues to remain the smallest in our satellite observation history for this time of year.

Agreed: a low pressure center THIS deep in THIS location is not at all common. That the forecast of it is relatively confident 6-days in advance is also uncommon.

Starmer: "You are very, very welcome here in Downing Street. As you heard from the cheers on the street outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom. We will stand with you and Ukraine for as long as it may take." Proud to be British tonight. #SlavaUkrainii 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

What a lovely time capsule from 1965 :)

#Cyclone #Zelia is currently undergoing EXTREME rapid intensification with an eye appearing in just mere hours and now proceeding to clear. With 32C+ waters we are about to witness the upper echelon of cyclonic storms on earth

Great work! Getting more and more out of the AI based weather models.

New feature for AI models (GraphCast & AIFS) on PolarWx - using the available pressure levels, these maps show the **estimated** potential precipitation type: polarwx.com/models/?mode...

Exceptional rainfall in parts of North Queensland, Australia. Most flooding, as of today (Feb 3), is in rural areas but more rainfall in the forecast. The town of Cardwell (between Townsville and Cairns) has recorded 1.36 m (53.50 in) of rain since Jan 27. Another example of a stalled coastal low.

Here's a striking visualization of sea level rise that I just made for Key West FL, which has a 112-year history. The colors indicate the number of hours each day that the water level was above the mean high tide (1983-2001 mean). I show five months of the year, centered on "King Tide season". 🌊

This is a really big deal - 50 degrees above normal!
