@repmattdean You're deliberately spreading misinformation. Don't dabble in science if you have no clue how science, math, data work... your fueling dangerous climate ignorance.
@repmattdean completely false... you don't cherry pick dates. You look at the period. Early October has warmed DRAMATICALLY... by more than 4 degrees in just 5 decades: that warming has made 80 more than 1.5 times more likely and 90 twice as likely. Warm morning lows 3-6+ X more likely.
Twin Cities residents: Strong storms will move into the entire metro right around rush hour and will produce very heavy rain, strong winds and possibly a tornado or two. This will be a good day to get home early if you can, and avoid being stuck on the road when these storms hit.
Midst among the excitement of the very first Extreme G5 geomagnetic storm since 2003, sunspot region 3664 continued doing what is is best at: producing major solar flares. It produced it's strongest solar flare thus far and the second strong solar flare of the current Solar Cycle. An X5.8 solar flare that peaked at 01:23 UTC. Yet another asymmetrical full halo coronal mass ejection was launched with a likely earth-directed component. We're in for a couple of more days with stormy space weather!
The first of the anticipated coronal mass ejections has arrived at STEREO Ahead, a satellite slightly closer to the Sun than DSCOVR. The impact has been significant there with a maximum interplanetary magnetic field Bt value of 41nT and a minimum Bz value of -33nT at the time of writing. If we see similar values at Earth (which we should) this is certainly going to cause a significant geomagnetic storm where severe G4 geomagnetic storm conditions are absolutely possible! Charge your camera batteries and keep an eye on the data on https://t.co/JLgxfyqYLe. This could become one of the strongest geomagnetic storms of this Solar Cycle!

Giant sunspot AR3664 keeps hurling CMEs toward Earth. There are now at least 3 storm clouds heading our way, says meteorologist @svensundgaard. https://t.co/0ehPxBbqa9
Water temps in the Atlanta Ocean are warmer NOW than they were at PEAK hurricane season late last summer. The insanity could yield an ACTIVE 2024 hurricane season. More on the outlook from meteorologist @svensundgaard:
