It is likely that 2025 will be the warmest year on record for the UK. Why does this matter? Burning fossil fuels is warming the planet, including the UK, causing heatwaves to get hotter. For Central England this is happening 2x faster than the mean change. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A damaging windstorm today will contribute to Extremely Critical fire weather conditions. Wind gusts up to 100mph, temperatures near 70F, and relative humidity near 10% will yield high-end fire weather environment along/near the Front Range. Stay aware& follow instructions from emergency officials.
An infographic titled "Key Messages for Friday Dec 19 Fire Weather" from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center, updated Dec 19, 2025, at 9:11 AM MST. It warns of "Extremely Critical Fire Weather Conditions for portions of the Colorado Front Range into far southeast Wyoming."

Overview: A damaging windstorm today will contribute to Extremely Critical fire weather conditions. Wind gusts up to around 100 mph, temperatures near 70F, and relative humidity near 10% will yield high-end fire weather environment along/near the Front Range.

Timing: Wind gusts of 40-70 mph and relative humidity of 15-30% are already occurring this morning. Critical and Extremely Critical fire weather conditions will continue through the evening with strong winds likely continuing overnight.

Safety Actions: Use caution with any potential ignition sources. Stay aware and follow instructions from emergency officials.

Wildfires can spread quickly — by the time one is nearby, you may not have much time. Have an evacuation plan, and prepare an emergency supply kit ahead of time. Listen to local officials for emergency information and any evacuation orders.

Here is the latest storm summary for the Western U.S. and northern Plains high wind/blizzard event. Wind gusts exceeding 100 mph were reported in Colorado and Wyoming: www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/...
A National Weather Service heat map showing estimated maximum wind gusts (mph) across the U.S. for the 24 hours ending at 8 PM CST on December 18, 2025. The map features a color scale ranging from 5 mph (white/blue) to 140 mph (pink). A large, intense area of dark red and purple indicates gusts between 80–120 mph concentrated over Wyoming, western South Dakota, and northern Colorado. Smaller pockets of high winds (60–80 mph) are visible in the Pacific Northwest and the Northeast. The National Weather Service logo is in the bottom left corner.

Hurricane #Melissa is a category 4 hurricane expected to make landfall in Jamaica on Tuesday. Forecast shows over 40 inches or 1016mm of rainfall is possible in 4 days. The same as a full year’s rainfall in Ireland. Thoughts with those in her path.
