This is interesting - a storm caused water to boil at 98°C instead of the traditional 100°C, and affected how tea tastes.

Storm Ciarán’s low pressure made tea taste worse, say scientists

Recordbreaking low pressure due to extreme weather meant water was boiling at 98C in Reading on day of storm

But last time I was there Reading wasn't on top of a mountain.

Global warming rearing ugly head

Goodbye Debby, hello Ernesto

Perhaps more interesting, for us, is where it could end up in about 10 days' time… (for the start of the bank holiday weekend).

​

​

Note: prior to arrival it could promote another warming episode.

Though that's just one estimate. The ensembles provide a better idea of spread: still all to play for, N, S, direct hit or could just stall out to the W of us.
​

Separately, Canadian wildfire smoke has arrived (hence the slightly hazy appearance at altitude and some temperatures in E/SE parts a degree or two down on forecasts of 24-48+ hours ago):

[Mr.Bishie]

When will we feel this? Baton down the hatches?

Those are some excellent graphics. Well done . Thank you

Could rock up in our neck of the woods around Thursday/Friday. Outcome could be anywhere from a warming episode, through a NW/SE unsettled/sunny split, to 'meh', to an unseasonal battering with high winds - all depends on the final track (which still has significant spread right now). However, operational models do currently seem to be leaning towards unseasonal surprise.

Satellite images reveal Sahara desert turning green

Satellite images of the Sahara show a visible increase in vegetation compared to 2023, this has been caused by the increased precipitation over the region linked to the recent northward shift of the…

watchers.news

The increased rain over the Sahara desert has led to the growth of visible vegetation in certain areas. Satellite images of Tanout, Niger acquired on September 8, 2024, show a visible increase in green patches compared to images from September 14, 2023.

The unusual rains are linked to the northward shift of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), which is bringing in above-average rainfall with some regions expecting to see 500% of typical monthly rainfall.

The ECMWF extended precipitation anomaly for early September also showed a large portion of the Sahara Desert under significant rainfall anomalies, forecasting 2024 to be the wettest year for the Sahara Desert since 1994.

The ITCZ shift, along with the record-positive North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), has altered weather patterns across the Atlantic and Africa. This shift has led to increased rainfall in regions such as the Sahel and the Sahara Desert.

The light green projection is a direct hit on where my friend lives

 

[2hats]

Though the strongest winds (and storm surges) tend to be in the leading right-hand quadrant (and associated eyewall). So offset to the right of the track in the direction of travel (for a hurricane in the northern hemisphere).

The latest ECMWF ensemble run clusters the tracks towards the west, with landfall projected around Apalachee Bay, SSE of Tallahassee.

interesting website
current lead story - amazing to me how this doesnt get reported in GB

Widespread floods in West and Central Africa, caused by extraordinary torrential rains since July 2024, killed at least 1 000 people and affected 4 million. The floods destroyed 300 000 homes and displaced 500 000 people. The catastrophic humanitarian situation, aggravated by the northward passage of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), has resulted in widespread damage to homes, schools, medical facilities, swaths of farmland, and heightening the risk of water-borne diseases, food insecurity, and malnutrition.

Widespread floods claim over 1 000 lives, leave 4 million affected in West and Central Africa

Severe floods in West and Central Africa have displaced over 4 million people, caused 1,000 deaths, and worsened food shortages and health risks, with emergency relief efforts ongoing amidst rising water-borne diseases.
