Tropical Storm #Dikeledi is the first tropical cyclone of 2025 and is forecast to strengthen and impact northern #Madagascar this weekend.

[Prof. Liz Stephens @liz_stephens]

An interesting/worrying forecast for the South West Indian Ocean, with another tropical cyclone on the way.

ECMWF IFS: growing likelihood of the cyclone making 2nd landfall in MDG.
AI models: storm staying out in Moz channel, or even landfall in MOZ

Cyclone #Chido has made its final landfall over northern #Mozambique. Heavy rain expected as it starts to weaken and move inland.

[Met Office Storms @metofficestorms]

#Chido has strengthened into a powerful cyclone and has recently passed over the Agalega Islands, a dependency of Mauritius in the South Indian Ocean. Landfall possible over the northern tip of Madagascar on Friday.

The waters in the Gulf of Mexico have been at record temperature levels this summer, which contributed to the rapid intensification of #HurricaneMilton, @hooker_helen tells @KayBurley.

It’s been a busy week keeping an eye on Beryl and speaking to LBC News (twice), ITV News, Sky News, France24 and The Telegraph! All interested to know how climate change is affecting tropical cyclones 🌀 ☔️ 🌊

[Climate Centre @ClimateCentreUK]

Hurricane Beryl, which has devastated the Caribbean, is only the second recorded Category 5 Atlantic hurricane in July. @hooker_helen from @UniofReading attributes its severity to record ocean warmth, with temps 3-4°C above normal due to climate change. ⁦@LBCNews⁩

A huge, huge well done to Sarah and all who persevered for so long to get this monumental, critical, and entirely common sense decision.

Local drilling does NOT create cheaper fuel sources due to the way markets work. Huge hat tip to all.
