@realmilancurcic I hope you plan to illustrate it with your unique style of artwork.

@BMcNoldy Awesome visualizations. How did you get hourly data since the 60s. Does NWS Miami have a comprehensive hourly record?

North Florida experiencing unseasonably cool SST due to persistent upwelling. 79F in late July! Satellite estimates are underestimating the cooling.

Carbon offsetting explained.

@MWatsonFSU @BMcNoldy true, but even so that could be a 2C difference between surface and depth. Curious to see if there will be a lagged response. Maybe there's also a scale issue between a very compact storm and data resolution?

[teddyallen @teddyallen]

eh, hem.....so you're telling me that even a CAT5 isn't producing an SST cold wake in today's environment? Another unexpected even with an outdated climatology period. #BerylHurricane @BMcNoldy

@BMcNoldy We dodged a bazooka. Unfortunately others upstream weren’t so lucky.

This is what consuming 100 million Beryls of oil everyday looks like.

Starting to see some NE winds rippling in from Beryl. Nothing special on the wave front in Barbados…yet #Beryl @MWatsonFSU

[teddyallen @teddyallen]

When do we finally agree that it is happening? Daily minimum temperatures in Barbados this year arguing for agreement.

Today during the National Climate Outlook Forum in Antigua. Govt of Antigua and Barbuda is committing to 12 new positions at their weather service including a dedicated oceanographer. Commitment! #climateservices

2024 Wet Season Caribbean Climate Outlook Forum starts today in Guyana. It’s not all bad news…if you’re a plant.

…the first day to exceed the 95th percentile in 2023 occurred in mid-May

[teddyallen @teddyallen]

Barbados on FYAH

With the exception of one day due to rainfall, everyday in April 2024 was warmer than the 1991-2020 average for that day.

Record daily max temperature was set for 6 days in April.

6 days in April met or exceeded the 95th percentile for daily max temperature

[268Weather @268Weather]

Flooding today from a line of convection dumping up to 8 inches (200 m) of rain across southwest Antigua.

[teddyallen @teddyallen]

@268Weather Any idea why it was so much more localized along the SW section of the island?

[teddyallen @teddyallen]

Remember that Caribbean rain-belt forecast from last month? Evidence of early season rain displaced southward is happening as expected. Low level moisture transport combined with upper level uplift dynamics forming act one of this season's weather to climate bridge. #S2S

[teddyallen @teddyallen]

Late season north swell hitting the Caribbean today along the Windward Islands.

[teddyallen @teddyallen]

Looking forward to this release for small island applications in the Caribbean region!
