This is AI2ES, my AI institute. No way around it other than to say this is really awful. We are doing so many amazing things! We want to keep doing amazing things but without this level of funding, we will not be able to do so.

We've put together a little explainer on Storm Éowyn, its development, where it stands compared to other (in)famous storms and on whether future explosive cyclones could become more "sting-jetty" and diabatically driven theconversation.com/why-meteorol... @ncas-uk.bsky.social

Why meteorologists are comparing Storm Éowyn to a bomb

Éowyn’s wind speeds are comparable with the most infamous storms of recent years and decades.

The intensity & structure of #StormÉowyn were certainly conducive to sting-jet descent. This satellite image would be consistent with it, as would be the timing and location of the record gust. However, we can't yet say whether the cold conveyor belt also played a role there 1/2
