The Climate Consensus @climateconsensus.bsky.social · 13/06/2026PREs are intense, localized rainfall events that occur on average about 36 hours before the TC arrives and ~1,000 km poleward of where the PRE is happening. In fact, statistics show about 1 in 3 recurving TCs produce a PRE! 100
The Climate Consensus @climateconsensus.bsky.social · 13/06/2026A PRE forms when deep tropical moisture from the TC gets pulled northward and collides with a separate weather feature, such as a stalled front or boundary far from the storm itself. 100
The Climate Consensus @climateconsensus.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Add in an upper-level jet stream that’s intensifying nearby, and you get the ingredients for very heavy, often slow-moving rainfall, sometimes producing ‘training’ thunderstorms that repeatedly move over the same area like train cars on a track. 100
