Twenty years ago today, Super Typhoon #Cimaron (2006) struck Luzon. This impressive "140-kt" 🙄 storm had a MODIS TIR eye temp of 25.2°C and WV eye temp of -15.8°C, values commonly found in upper-echelon TCs. Probably the missing ≥155-kt Philippine landfall between Zeb (1998) and Megi (2010).

AI models have been brought down to earth—just when everyone was getting worshippy about them. For days, physical models insisted #Typhoon #CHAMPI would hit Taiwan while Google DeepMind insisted it would cleanly miss. CHAMPI is now clobbering Taiwan. Ouchies for Google DeepMind.

This is one of the most terrifying thought-experiments for us in the Atlantic Basin.
If you put Super Typhoon Champi in the Gulf and compare her to the strongest known Atlantic Hurricanes, none of them will be able to match her combination of extreme winds (185+ MPH) and huge core size.
The West Pacific, without contest, is where the most monstrous storms on Earth are born.

😮 Comparing El Nino’s Current State: 2026 makes 1997 look like Child’s Play!
Who lived in #Florida in 1997-1998? I was a whipper-snapper weatherman in #Tampa back then.
It was a crazy winter. The strongest El Niño on record brought Florida’s worst #tornado outbreak and more than triple the normal winter rainfall. 🌧️
In the image below I made an apples to apples comparison of sea surface temperature anomalies on Oct 20th. I thought it would reveal a closer comparison. Instead it shows 2026 is simply in a league of its own. Thus we expect big impacts on the winter weather. It’s important to note though that every El Niño event is different. We know it will be very active and wet in Florida, but we simply don’t know exactly how and where it will materialize. Tornadoes are more likely, but not guaranteed. It will be rainier than normal, but 3-4X like 1997? We just don’t know yet. #elnino #elniño

Really cool view of Subtropical Storm Josephine today.
Some lightning in the outer bands.

Es ist immer wieder erstaunlich dass in dt. Medien Becks aktive Mitwirkung an Israels Abschlachten von über 100.000 Menschen nicht erwähnt wird.
Er hat die aktive Unterstützung durch die dt. Politik, durch Waffenlieferungen, Diplomatie, und Kooperation, maßgeblich organisiert.
Volker Beck: "Es ist völlig unverständlich, dass sich Grüne und SPD für eine Koalition mit dieser Berliner Linkspartei hergeben, bei der Antisemitismus nicht eine Randerscheinung ist, sondern Antizionismus vielmehr Teil des Erfolgsrezepts ist" queer.de/detail.php?article_…

This is what Typhoon Champi would look like if it was in the Gulf of *cough* sorry something was in my throat.

Was für ein Monster! Östlich der Philippinen kreiselt Supertaifun #Champi mit Böen bis 350 km/h! Der Sturm wird wohl zum Freitag auf Taiwan treffen und könnte am Gebirge 500 bis 1000 mm Regen bringen.

This storm is extremely impressive. It is extremely difficult for a tropical cyclone with a core of this size with a 30-40 nm eye to produce winds up to 175 mph let alone 185 mph. And it reaching a pressure below 900 mb is even harder to do. And it has had 180+ for 18 hours...

This is what a textbook successful eyewall replacement cycle looks like. It can be the beginning of the end for most storms, but for #Champi, it went nearly perfect and it has now become a 155kt/899mb buzzsaw. Immense energy required to produce this, with seamless execution.
