Heads up‼️ Hottest Ever?! It’s genuinely possible. No exaggeration to say that the severity of the #heatwave that the Eastern US is about to experience will be cruel and grueling for days! 100s of record highs, some neck and neck with all-time records, in the East Coast cities! And peak heat index numbers near 115. Lasting right into the weekend.

100 MPH Hurricane Killing Peak Wind Shear forecast in the #Caribbean . Unreal for summer, but this is no ordinary summer. The strongest El Niño on record is flexing its muscle 💪 and overpowering the Atlantic. Anything that tries to develop would be torn to pieces. If this continues, it would be one of the quietest Atlantic hurricane seasons on record. #hurricane #elnino

Heat Domes Dominate the Planet! Sound up! Typically El Niño waits until fall to impact the jet stream, but this one is supercharged. That means the heat in the Tropical Pacific is already helping to reorganize atmospheric waves, leading to persistent and intense heat domes in North America with downstream impacts in Europe. Those heat waves are of course significantly boosted by the long term warming trend. #elnino #heatwave #heatdome #extremeweather

Europe is melting! The size, intensity, and longevity of this #heatwave is enormous. Peak temperatures will reach 45°C / 100-115°F this week in #France . You are looking at temperature anomalies in the cloud layer over the next 2 weeks, which peak at +20°C. #Europe is Earth’s fastest warming continent, and European heat extremes are increasing faster than models project they should, likely due to changes in steering flow. In a rapid attribution study by Climameter it is estimated that #climatechange has made this June heatwave up to 4°C hotter (7°F) than it would have otherwise been without warming.

‼️ In house Hi Res Model escalates this weekend. GRAF Indicates #Bertha by early week as the storm drifts west away from Florida into the #Gulf. This model is very good, but I emphasize this is an incredibly tough forecast, and it may be wrong. I find it tends to spin things up too fast, and we are not yet in the GRAF wheelhouse of inside 48 hours. I only post this because it’s 3 days from now and as we go into the weekend I don’t want folks sleeping on this, and I want to be transparent with ya’ll. It’s nothing to be concerned about, just something to be aware off. Right now NHC development chance is at 30%. Otherwise on/ off downpours through the weekend.

It’s unreal to see this El Niño continue to astonish. Take a look at the subsurface heat build up in the last few frames of this. The anomalies are backing up, and heating up, like a traffic jam, in the Central Pacific. There’s a ton more fuel left in this tank! And it seems evident it will end up living up to the hype and seasonal model forecasts. Thanks Alex Boreham for the great visual.

Just watch how gargantuan this storm is. I still can’t get over it. In terms of girth, it’s def in the top 5 that I recall. This will impact 2/3rds of the nation and half of the country in a big way. Longevity too, with us Friday-Monday! And the brutal cold that follows. 🥶 Disruption deep into next week! #Snow #ice #storm

Caribbean Storm Shredding Shear! You’ve probably heard that there’s a chance of development in the Tropical Atlantic. There’s a decent signal for it in 1-2 weeks. But if it dares enter the #Caribbean, it will meet its maker with 60-80+ mph shear!

No, your eyes are not deceiving you! Next week's cold blast is going to be “near” historic in #Florida for early November. The models are very aggressive and if they are right we may tie or break records set ~100 years ago. These are wind chills for Tuesday morning BUT it is not out of the question that North FL will see actual low temps near freezing next Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Fire up the fireplaces! You don't have one? You have a week to get it :)

El Niño is born! Destined to be the biggest in 150 years +?? NOAA declares: El Niño Advisory This morning conditions in the Eastern Pacific met the criteria for El Niño. This means Sea Surface Temps reached a certain level above normal, and the ocean and atmosphere “coupled” meaning they are now working in tandem to produce impacts. This event is widely advertised by models to be potentially the strongest on record. El Niño takes very hot water stored in the deep tropical west Pacific, pushing it east and up to the surface, lofting that heat into the atmosphere, which supercharges weather events and throws the climate off-kilter. This typical means more intense heatwaves & floods, but also it restrains the Atlantic hurricane season. So its impacts are both good and bad. One thing seems virtually certain: the heat released into the atmosphere will make for some unprecedented events through 2027, and on top of longterm warming, the hottest global temperatures in many tens of 1000s of years. #ElNino #florida #storm #heatwave #flood #drought

Watch as #smoke 💨 from Canadian #fire 🔥 moves away, then backtracks towards Florida. This is due to the famous #Bermuda high and something we call atmospheric wave breaking where pieces of the jet stream break off and then meander. In this case the smoke gets caught up in this process and attempts to get back to the SE US by late week. By then it will be thin, diffuse and barely noticeable but it’s a good lesson that the atmosphere is a fluid and “It’s all connected!”

When I look at this jet stream the word insane comes to mind. It's even more astonishing when you consider it's mid June! This configuration, likely enhanced by climate heating, is fueling a record heat dome so extreme that even experts are astonished!

#Hurricaneerin is hungry. It will feast on hot water up to 88 degrees. After using this heat to power its engine, it will dissipate said heat. Leaving a cool ocean wake in its path, ~10 degrees lower than it found it. The water cools not just due to heat absorption, but also overturning /upwelling, wind and rain.

Watch #Melissa meander on a path right through some of the hottest (deep) waters on the planet, powering one of the strongest hurricanes ever, then leave a cool wake behind as it turns hot water into power to charge its rain and wind. The #caribbean in October is notorious for monster hurricanes and Melissa literally moved over the hottest waters not just in the Atlantic but also in the entire Caribbean. How it ended up there is part luck, part climatology, and - in a local sense - partly that storms without steering can sometimes be tugged towards areas with the greatest heat/ instability. #hurricane #fyp #jamaica

Supercharged Heat Domes are appearing all around the Planet! Why? It’s a developing super El Niño combined with a much warmer Earth, spiking natural cycles with extra heat injected into the system and pattern changes augmenting the jet stream. The US will endure one of its most expansive heatwaves in history this week. Then another long lasting record breaking heat dome will plague #Europe again, back to back on its worst #heatwave in its history! With #elnino on top of a heated globe, expect the unexpected this year!!

NASA: Warming Effects of Carbon Pollution Since the 1800s. Wait for it… Since human’s industrialized the Earth has warmed 1.5°C or 2.7°F due to the heat-trapping greenhouse gases released from the burning of fossil fuels, changes in land use, and the feedbacks of both. This may not sound like much, but the living Earth System is just as sensitive to temperature changes as your body. If your body temperature rises 2.7°F, your lethargic. Double that and your life is in danger. That’s where Earth is headed in a few decades if we don’t take collective action to slow it. #climatechange #climateaction #stem #science #Earth

Another El Niño Record! Watch as heat “back ups” at the end. The heat building below the surface, which fuels the strength of El Niño, is higher than it’s ever been measured. This animation shows the heat just below the Tropical Pacific Ocean, moving from the West Pacific Warm Pool where it’s stored, to the East Pacific Surface where El Niño forms. Notice how at the end of the movie there’s a “heat backup” - like a traffic jam. That means there’s a lot more heat waiting under the surface to intensify our current El Niño event. It lends more evidence that this will be the strongest El Niño on record, and may end up reaching the high-end model scenarios. We’re already seeing the impacts: from a quiet Atlantic hurricane season, to an already invigorated subtropical jet stream with heavy rain along the #Gulf Coast, to big heat waves around the Globe. Come winter it will mean a very intense subtropical jet stream with a lot of heavy rain in the Southeast & #florida and likely frequent squall lines with severe weather and potential tornadoes 🌪️ #ElNino Thanks Alex Boreham for the great subsurface animation!

‼️ Whopper of a heat dome coming, and that’s no exaggeration! In all aspects: size, longevity, and especially intensity this will be extreme. The heat dome should shatter all-time records for upper level pressure in the Northern Plain States. Actual Temperatures (not heat index) in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota could hit 110° in spots! The heatwave will peak Sunday through Wednesday. This should come as no surprise, El Nino’s record pace is juicing atmospheric extremes on top of the longterm warming trend. #heatwave #climate

The strongest El Niño in 150 years? Yes, it’s legitimately possible. Not hype. In fact, the “median” forecast for December of all of our computer models combined is slightly “above” the biggest event we know of back in 1877. (+2.9 vs +2.7 using ONI) While this peak intensity may or may not occur, all signs are pointing to a Super El Niño - a “natural” oscillation. That will expel stored heat from the deep Tropical Pacific - on top of significant longterm warming - heating Earth to record levels not measured before in late 2026-2027, powering extreme heat waves, droughts, and rain storms… while also suppressing Atlantic hurricane season 1/ #ElNino #extremeweather #science

Will Bertha be Birth soon? Sound ⬆️ Here’s the #science behind the forecast challenge! For days it seemed the jet stream may tug and shear the system north into land before development. But now it seems it will be left behind, sitting in the hot Northern #Gulf for enough time to strengthen some before landfall on the N Gulf Coast. More time may mean more organization and strength. Watch this one closely.

We say #snowmageddon as a joke, but if ever there was a time to use it, it’s now!! Watch as the West Coast gets bombarded by at least 5 storms in 15 days, with up to 15 feet of snow in the high Sierra, and that may be an underestimate if the models verify. NWS says 8 feet possible by Wednesday. Incredible! #snow

Get ready to rock and roll! 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. When the vortex gets rattled like this, it can send ripples downward through the atmosphere, reshaping the jet stream and eventually stirring up turbulent, high-impact weather patterns at the surface all around the planet. Not every SSW delivers extreme cold or storms, but events this strong often tip the atmosphere into a more chaotic setup in the weeks that follow.

Neighbors: Cat 5 #Milton is now just 100s of miles away, pushing huge surge toward our coast, promising to be the most devastating storm here in 100+years. The exact landfall location will be elusive, wobbling up to landfall. Life is precious and fleeting. Be smart. Stay safe.

There’s been a lot of chatter about the cold blue blob in the North Atlantic lately. Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf 🌏 🦣 just published a paper very recently. The cold blob (warming hole) is not new. But perhaps against the backdrop of blazing red El Niño maps, people are noticing it more. That’s good. It’s a big deal, a canary in the coal mine. Here’s a level headed discussion on the latest science on the #AMOC - potential collapse - yes the cold blue blob in the N Atlantic is very likely due to a slowing of that vital circulation which is responsible for 25% of Northward heat transport. That’s a lot. So any major disruption is a major problem. Maybe watch it at like 1.25-1.5X the speed because my pace was a little slow.

Huge Pacific Heatwave - larger than North America - with record heat spanning 6,000 miles across, peaking in the East Pacific. The highest anomalies are near the Galápagos Islands, a clear sign a mighty El Niño is beginning. This excess heat infused in the climate system throws everything off-kilter globally, making heatwaves more extreme, floods more intense, but also subduing Atlantic hurricane season. #elnino #heatwave #pacific
