It is absolute chaos in the West Pacific right now. Typhoon Dolphin making landfall in China; Tropical Storm Chan-hom heading towards mainland Japan; and THREE MORE systems spinning around the Mariana Islands, all at the same time.

NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters just recorded a surface wind gust of ~190 MPH inside the eyewall of Hurricane Polo, while a deployed drone flying at 500 meters above sea-level measured winds exceeding 230 MPH. We are watching one of the all-time most extreme Western Hemisphere storms on record unfold before our eyes tonight.

UPDATE: Category 5 Super Typhoon Ragasa (NandoPH) has just hit a new peak intensity of 180 MPH sustained winds and a minimum central pressure of 905 MBAR. This intensity is approaching the upper limits of what Earth is capable of producing.

The 165 MPH eyewall of Hurricane Polo is electrified with heavy lightning activity, peaking moments ago with a rate of up to ~600 strikes PER HOUR. Sinking air trapped inside the storm’s extremely steep Stadium Effect has now reached a searing -10.6 C, the warmest Polo’s eye has ever been. Combined with a circular, buzzsaw-shaped CDO of -73 C (-100 F) cloud tops, it appears this Hurricane unbelievably is STILL intensifying.

The situation is growing more serious for Hawaii tonight as Tropical Storm Lala continues to organize. If the NHC’s current forecast holds, then she will become the first Hurricane in 155 YEARS to strike the Big Island (where 1-2 FEET of life-threatening rainfall is possible).

This is an exceedingly rare satellite loop for the East Pacific. Last night, Hurricanes Polo and Odalys rapidly intensified SIMULTANEOUSLY within just 1,000 miles of each other, reaching 180 MPH and 130 MPH peak strengths at exactly the same time. El Niño-fueled hyperactivity.

150 MPH (240 kph) Hurricane Simon is set to strike Jalisco, Mexico in what could be the strongest Pacific Hurricane landfall since Otis in 2023. Major population centers will fortunately be spared from devastating Category 4 winds (even if Simon makes landfall at that intensity), but the inland mountain towns south of Puerto Vallarta could still endure damaging Hurricane-force gusts and flooding mudslides as the storm drives northward.

BREAKING: Category 5 Hurricane Melissa’s sustained winds are now roaring at 175 MPH, and the air pressure in her searing eye has sunk to 906 MBAR. The storm is starting to take the northern turn towards Jamaica, and if she intensifies any further, she will begin to approach the mathematical limits of how strong a storm can become in this part of the world.

It may seem impossible, but another Major Hurricane (yes, actually) is set to form in the East Pacific and threaten the coast of Mexico. What’s concerning about this next storm (whom will be named VANCE) is that he is forming to the south of the cold wakes stirred up by Hurricanes Polo, Rachel, Simon, and Trudy. This could allow for very rapid intensification over untapped waters before a potential recurve into Mexico. Weakening would be likely in any sort of landfall scenario, and it’s still very early to know anything for sure, but this future storm appears to be one that needs to be watched closely.

The worst case scenario has been soundly avoided with Hurricane Simon, as he has missed landfall in Jalisco entirely. Regrettably however, the storm is not done with Mexico yet. As Simon passes by Puerto Vallarta, he is forecast to recurve eastward into Sinaloa, where he could make landfall as a weakening Category 1 Hurricane on Wednesday afternoon. If you are in the city of Mazatlán, monitor all official updates from the NHC.

Hurricane Lala is producing some of the most bizarre storm conditions you will ever see on Hawaii’s Big Island. At the summit of Mauna Kea, which rises 13,824 ft above sea level, a whiteout of tropical rain is being propelled by winds up to 140 MPH at an icy temperature of 38 F.

The amount of convective available potential energy over the Middle East on Thursday is enough for a textbook hatchery of supercell thunderstorms. Where this unstable mass of nearly 5,000 J/kg of CAPE intersects with the dip in the jet stream will determine the greatest threat area for desert tornadoes (most likely in the UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia) and/or strong marine waterspouts over the Persian Gulf.

Hurricane Karina is the latest storm to bloom in an El Niño-fueled Pacific Ocean. In just over 20 hours, she’s gone from a Tropical Storm to a 125 MPH CAT 3, ~950 miles SW of Baja California. She could be one of THREE simultaneous Pacific Hurricanes that are expected to be active this week.

Hurricane Simon has started to rake the coastline of Mexico as a 145 MPH (235 kph) Category 4. With dramatic western shifts continuing, the storm is now no longer expected to make landfall today; however, dangerous surging surf, heavy rain, and Hurricane-force gusts are still expected for coastal communities in Jalisco.

At this time in 2024, the Philippines were in the midst of a 10-DAY span in which they were struck by FOUR consecutive Typhoons. Now this year, the country is reeling from the effects of Kalmaegi (TinoPH) and Fung-wong (UwanPH) both making landfall within the last 5 days.

This might be the pinnacle moment of the strongest El Niño in history. Pacific Super Typhoon Champi is unbelievable by every metric. A buoy just measured a ~909 MBAR pressure at the edge of her 40+ mile-wide eye, which has now reached a blistering dryness of -10.94 C. Her eyewall is a 180+ MPH (290+ kph) buzzsaw of cyclonic violence, and her CDO is a perfect Saturnian ring of icy, -110 F (-80 C) convective thunderstorms. And she is still. Getting. Stronger.

We are about to see one of the largest rain events that’s ever been triggered in the continental United States by a Pacific Hurricane. After making landfall in Baja California, the saturated remnants of former-Category 5 Hurricane Polo are going to inject a massive conveyor belt of deep, tropical moisture up through NW Mexico and into the U.S. South-Central Texas could be at the epicenter of the event, with isolated rain totals potentially reaching up to a FOOT this week.

The clock is ticking down to Typhoon Champi’s first direct impact to land. Yonaguni, the westernmost island in the nation of Japan, with a small area of 28.88 sq km (11.15 sq mi) but a dense population of 1,684 people, is currently forecast to be the landfall location for Champi tomorrow (she will be at CAT 2 status when she gets there, with 100+ MPH/160 kph gusts possible). One thing to watch out for is unpredictable track alterations caused by Taiwan. If Champi strays too far west, her proximity to the island’s extreme rainforest mountains could induce wobbles that may change the scope/duration of impacts for the areas involved.

What Super Typhoon Champi is doing right now is almost unheard of. We have seen many storms in the West Pacific achieve this kind of extreme intensity before, but few have done so with an eye and eyewall as physically massive as Champi’s. At 185 MPH (298 kph), with gusts likely over 215 MPH (345 kph) and a near-buoy confirmed eye pressure of 895 MBAR, this is one of the most ridiculous cyclonic core structures we have ever seen in the satellite era.

Right now, there are 250 people on Socorro Island, Mexico staring down at the 175 MPH (280 kph) fury of Hurricane Polo to their southeast. The good news here is that the storm is going to curve around the western side of this remote volcanic island, keeping the catastrophic eyewall offshore and avoiding a landfall. Heavy rain, winds, and surf should be the extent of the impacts.

It’s very rare for a Hurricane to reach 180 MPH winds at all. It’s almost unheard of for one to reach it TWICE. That’s what Hurricane Polo just did today. Two distinct, completely separate 180 MPH peak intensity phases during completely different stages of the cyclonic life cycle. What we’re seeing take place near Mexico’s Pacific coast this week is nothing short of the meteorologically exceptional.

This is where the flash superflood on the Nepal-Tibet border today first began. From an altitude of 17,000 ft on Langtang Lirung in the Himalayas, a ~2,000 ft-wide chunk of glacier ice snapped off and fell ~4,000 ft to the valley below, generating an impact 6.3% as powerful as the Hiroshima nuclear explosion and causing a Magnitude 5.2 seismic event. Upon impact, this massive ice chunk was then pulverized into a violent 100+ ft-tall surge of glacier water, rocks, and mud that flowed into the nearby Trishuli River. Funneled by Nepal’s extremely steep and jagged terrain, the resulting flood wave became an unsurvivable wall of water and debris for the immediate communities downstream.
