Another Pacific Hurricane (Actually Cyclone)

[longknife]

This one isn't going to stay out to sea so will probably do nothing but drop lots and lots of rain across Mexico. Question is – will it make it to the southwest or Gulf Coast.



Story @ Tropical storm Patricia forecast to be hurricane tomorrow

Darn was gonna correct hurricane vs cyclone.

Pacific hurricanes, typhoons, or cyclones, whatever you wish to call them, are at a record number this year.

And yet globally were very near an all time low in storm energy... How inconvenient for you that we might be having storms in one ocean but they lack any organized punch while in the other ocean there have been few and very weak storms...

This will have to major effects. One is the cooling of Regions 1 and 2 of the Pacific further lowering the incoming water temperatures to regions 3 and 4.

When this flow of water hits the Midwest of the US and bumps into the major cold air coming down from the arctic it will result in the first major snow storm of the year.

Looking at upper level winds I am betting on Ohio, Michigan, Nebraska, and the great lakes areas within about one week (roughly the same time the next polar low slams into the region). Just depends on where the front is when they collide..

We've had more Category 5 storms in under 5 months than in a typical year

It’s only May, which means the tropical cyclone season in the Northern Hemisphere is still in its infancy. The Atlantic season doesn't officially start until June 1, after all.

Yet already, in just the first four-and-a-half months of the year, the planet has had more Category 5 storms — the most destructive category — than its average annual total of such powerful tempests.

And that was in May of this year.

Aaaaaaaaaaaa NO!

Read the article.. Pacific ocean ONLY! does not include the rest of the earth... Nice try though..

Are you rejecting an increase in average Pacific cyclone intensity this season?

LOL. Ol' silly Billy doesn't think a cat 5 storm with 200 mph+ winds has any punch.

I wish he'd go play on the beach where it is making landfall and then come back in say that.

This is one of the most powerful tropical cyclones in world history.

Comes on the heels of a 30 year low in cyclone activity!!!

30-year low for N. Hemisphere tropical cyclone activity - USATODAY.com


Just like the drought stuff!!!


Ups and downs.


Like always!!

And meanwhile...............

I go to the range frequently......lousy shot with most of my long guns.

But then there is shotgun day!!! At 25 yards, it gets giddy blowing full size pumpkins to smithereens...........so much fun you could sometimes pee your pants. That's what it feels like every single time I pop into this forum!!!

 

[skookerasbil]

LOL......Weather Channel saying this hurricane Patricia actually quite small.

Now.....expect the chorus from the climate nuts in here about "strongest" hurricane ever. You know how you define "strongest"? Its got winds 5-10mph faster than the next strongest

As skeptics have frequently stated in here...........the climate k00ks LOVE words like "hottest"....."highest"......"increased".........."wildest"............."warmest"........

Notice they always use vague terms because they dupe the easiest!!! ....................duh.

When skeptics offer a point of reference or put these vague/ghey terms into context.............always makes the climate nutters look nutty!!!


Who's not winning???

Actually, "world history" is bit hysterical. Since we've only had methods to record, monitor and MEASURE the intensities accurately for about 50 years. And not until the 70s did we start flying P3 Orions REGULARLY on most storms. Those folks wouldn't be risking their lives -- if it could all be done from remote sensing.

And even WITH the P3 flights -- That's just a short SAMPLE of the intensity in the eyewall and eye. Much more accurate than any other way of measurement, but you can miss a peak intensity MOST of the time with that method.
