Yesterday had a mean CET of 19.7°C, making it the 3rd warmest on record for the date behind only 2023 & 1898 This will also likely be the 4th Sep in a row to have the first week of the month in the 17s or above (‘only’ 26 Seps have done this since 1772, including these 4)

Great video by great contributors.. Matthew Cappucci Philip Klotzbach and David Ryglicki Looking into why the tropical Atlantic has been quieter than expected of late I guess one thing to question is what has caused the ITCZ to shift anomalously far N over Africa this season?..

Sub 546 decametre 1000-500hpa thickness air sweeping south into many central parts of Europe this coming week... For the UK a spell with maximum temperatures low to mid teens at best jumpers and trousers at the ready

Tropical disturbances entering these waters could have a field day feeding off such warmth...SSTs 30 to 32C.. for tropical storm/hurricane formation SSTs ideally need to exceed 27C..other influencing factors such as wind shear, instability, moisture content etc, aside..

With sea surface temperatures around their highest annually now, and notably cool air incoming over them, expect some beefy, perhaps thundery showers to develop in the N/NW flow this coming week 🌦⛈️
