The whole sky in Minneapolis is orange right now. Because of smoke from wildfires 2,000 miles away in northern Canada. I hate this.

I’m an NWS meteorologist. Protecting lives and property is our mission & one I proudly support. At a time where instances of “zero-metering” tornadoes & chaser-related fatalities continue to rise, I’ll happily stand to promote safe and responsible storm chasing practices.

Scary situation in Myanmar where a Category 5 equivalent cyclone Mocha is approaching landfall in an exceptionally vulnerable part of the world. One of those times you get a sick feeling in your stomach watching this unfold…

Looking at available JTWC data, Cyclone #Mocha is one of the strongest cyclones in the Bay of Bengal during the satellite era, and strongest to make landfall in Myanmar.

The Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm “Mocha” (pronounced as “Mokha”) over Eastcentral Bay of Bengal is very likely to continue to move north-northeastwards and cross southeast Bangladesh and north Myanmar coasts between Cox’s Bazar

Cyclone Mocha rapidly intensifies ahead of devastating landfall in Myanmar and Bangladesh

Scary situation with Cyclone #Mocha now just shy of Category 5 equivalent following rapid intensification over the Bay of Bengal. Landfall not far from the Myanmar and Bangladesh border Sunday.

washingtonpost.com

The storm had sustained winds of 150 mph late Saturday, or just shy of Category 5. Massive storm surge is likely near the landfall area in northern Myanmar.

Cyclone Mocha surge forecast from

calls for 1-2 meter surge near Sittwe, Myanmar (pop. 148,000); peak surge of 2.5 meters. Low-lying land less than 2m elevation (red areas, right-hand image) by Sittwe house tens of thousands of Rohingya refugees in squalid camps.

Flooding in late April and early May in the DRC and Rwanda have killed at least 574 people. Thousands more are missing and the death toll is likely to rise significantly, according to Aon. This is the sixth top-30 deadliest weather disaster on record for Africa since 2022.

NOAA continues to increase odds for #ElNino - now a 93% chance for El Nino for the climatological peak of the 2023 Atlantic #hurricane season (August-October). El Nino typically reduces Atlantic hurricane activity via increases in vertical wind shear.

The world's greatest geoengineering experiment, active over the last half-century, has now been terminated by the large scale removal of maritime SO2 emissions. The results are coming in fast, and they are breaking climate records - especially on the continent of Europe.

For decades this area has been kept relatively cool by sulfur emissions from ships. But this changed in 2020.
