The Hurricane Season to Date

It's very obvious this season is taking on a more traditional season how that "Dennis" has done most of the handiwork of transferring heat to the oceans. Which is not a good idea to the extent it is happening there have already been diminished algal blooms in the oceans during the last six months noted on most currents.

This satellite:

shows clearly the carbon dioxide concentration on the east coast of the USA.

You might want to see it in motion:

Noted a storm over the midwest of the USA resulted as an eddy to a arctic circle vortex.

Also in hurricane ally "Emily" is coming our way with now Cat 4 capasity. I am convinced more than ever it will take the path of Ivan 2004 due to the obvious air mass noted in this satellite.

The big sweeping water vapor trail from the Gulf to the Arctic Circle tells the tale of "Emily". I remind 24 hours ago I stated it would take the path of Ivan 2004 and all the weather services were stating it was headed for the Yukitan Peninsula to cross land there and enter the Gulf south of Texas. Not so. These systems are water loving and seek the path of least resistance to their ever growing dynamics. Kindly note in the composite an earlier hurricane below, Hurricane Andrew of 1992 it's path changed radically to follow a north leading air flow noted in the two left pictures of the composite.

Also noted in both the Infrared Satellite and Water Vapor Satellite there is also two other storms brewing. One at a higher latitude bearing the mark of "Andrew of 1992" and the other looking more like "Emily" only starting at a greater distance from the Gulf of Mexico and could this be our first viewing of Cat 6 storms. Only guestimates at this point.

This water vapor satellite shows that potential clearly.

In the Pacific, coastal Asia is having it's problems as well with "Typhoon Haitang" and once again China needs to get on board the G8 Climate Change agenda.

Here is UNISYS current run down of the Western Pacific.

Currently they have seen five major storm and one super typhoon. This is an active season as well.

NOT FUN !!
