The current #weather situation in Europe is a textbook Omega block. While central Europe will "enjoy" a #heatwave, Greece will face a #medicane with disastrous damages due to heavy rain and #floods fueled by an extremely hot #MediterraneanSea. #ClimateEmergency #heavyrain

💡Parmi les phénomènes météorologiques les plus fascinants, voici "instabilités de Kelvin-Helmholtz" ☁️un mouvement ondulatoire en dynamique des fluides qui se forme lorsque deux fluides thermiquement stables sont superposés et se déplacent à des vitesses différentes à leur surface de contact. Ce phénomène, parfaitement naturel, donne des formes de vagues 🌊 aux nuages !

If you have eclipse glasses 🕶️at hand, today is the day to dust them off. A group of sunspots ☀️ is visible for the next few days. WARNING: NEVER look directly at the sun without the protection of a solar filter or eclipse glasses. This can cause irreversible eye damage.
