“It’s a made-up world with real-life consequences”
Nov 15, 2005: Tropical Storm Gamma forms in the Caribbean. Gamma weakened back into an open wave as it moved west and stalled over northern Honduras. The disturbance dumped up to 10" of rain along the coast, causing destructive flooding & landslides, and eventually reintensified into a sheared TS.

Another round of immense rainfall seems likely across central #Vietnam in the coming week, with the GFS showing a wide region to receive total precipitation of over 25" (630mm) over the next 7 days. A similar distribution with weaker amplitude is seen in the ECMWF.

Experimenting with Himawari satellite data. This shows 48 hours of high-frequency infrared imagery of Uwan's intensification on approach to Luzon.

Very large Typhoon Uwan actively making landfall along the central Sierra Madre mountain range. This part of the coast is less densely populated compared to other areas in the Philippines, but heavy rain and gale-force winds will still affect almost all of Luzon. Strong rainbands coming into the NCR

Snooow!

Typhoon #Kalmaegi / #TinoPH has made landfall in central Vietnam after weakening from its earlier peak, yet the system's fast forward motion will still bring dangerous rainfall rather far into the interior SEA mainland.

I don’t regret to inform you that this is how I look now (sans glasses)
November 6, 2025 at 1:05 AM
#Kalmaegi / #TinoPH quickly reorganizing after crossing Palawan, now heading toward central Vietnam where landfall near Quy Nhon is expected overnight Thu-Fri.

Is HAFS-A feeling ok
November 4, 2025 at 7:26 AM
Ramping up right before landfall on Leyte. I feel like if given another 6 hours uninterrupted it could drop 20 mb.
November 3, 2025 at 1:31 PM
#Kalmaegi / #TinoPH is steadily intensifying, but thankfully not particularly quickly. Only a few more hours until it crosses Siargao and the Dinagat Islands.

Last night the storm consisted of two intense competing convective cores which likely slowed consolidation into something uglier.

The eye of Hurricane Melissa at peak intensity captured from the flight deck of a 53rd WRS Hurricane Hunter aircraft.

Watching Tropical Storm #Kalmaegi / #TinoPH closely as it heads toward the south/central Philippines. Conditions are always extremely volatile in this subregion at this time of year. Landfall expected in <48h.

Signal No. 1 has been raised for parts of eastern Visayas and far northeast Mindanao.

Oct 30, 2005: Hurricane Beta comes ashore in Nicaragua. Peaking at Cat 3 followed by slight weakening before landfall, Beta was the 7th and final major hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic season. Damage was comparatively limited due to the storm's small size and hitting a rural area.

Have you ever wondered what a 185mph wind really looks like?

This is some of my footage from Hurricane Dorian, taken as it made landfall in the Abaco Islands on September 1, 2019 at that same intensity.

Praying for those in the path of Melissa.

Melissa's eye recently deformed from a circle into a rapidly cyclonically rotating ellipse, which is why I think an eyewall merger is occurring.

I don't know what this means for its intensity.
October 28, 2025 at 8:21 AM
Melissa's eye is so warm it exceeded the standard water vapor enhancement colormap (black pixels).
October 28, 2025 at 7:50 AM
Triple eyewall structure visible in Kingston radar reflectivity, with the innermost two likely actively merging. #Melissa
