The 22nd of Nolo quickly becomes the 23rd as it transits the International Dateline, shifting its title from major hurricane to typhoon. It remains 15E. It’s been advised upon or outlooked since September 8th. Nolo is forecast to approach Asia in five days or so. 🐻⌚️

October outlook: No part of the U.S. is favored to have a cooler-than-average month. Meanwhile, nearly 80% of the contiguous U.S. entered October abnormally dry or in drought. See NOAA’s temperature, precipitation & drought outlooks: buff.ly/i7Blwc7 #ClimateChange

There is finally a potential for a hurricane or strong tropical cyclone east of North America — but it’s in the Mediterranean. There’s been a growing signal among ensembles for a medicane, or subtropical/tropical cyclone in the Mediterranean, that may develop this week.

June 2026 was the second warmest June on record (after 2024) in the ERA5 dataset, at 1.39C above preindustrial levels. While we expect warmer temperatures later this year as El Niño kicks in, 2026 is now increasingly likely (~86% chance) to be the second warmest year on record.

Multiple CAMs showing intense supercells training along or just north of the warm front.
