Non-stop rain around #Montpellier in southern France. And there’s more to come, with totals of 300-400 mm forecast in some areas, and severe flash flooding very likely. Latest radar 👇

Possibly Baja California peninsula early next week, or no landfall at all

Eastern Pacific & Atlantic = Hurricane. Western Pacific = Typhoon. Otherwise it’s a Cyclone. They’re all the same thing essentially but we give them different names based on location.

Luckily, nobody will be. (At least for now.) So yes, we can enjoy how it looks :)

Hurricane #Polo is a Category 5 monster, with winds of 285 km/h (180 mph), and could reach 295 km/h (185 mph) soon. Polo is forecast to skim along the southwestern coast of Mexico over the next few days, narrowly avoiding a catastrophic landfall.

Wow. Hurricane #Polo looks spectacular from satellite this morning 🌀 It’s a category 5 beast with winds of 260 km/h (160 mph), and still intensifying. Luckily, it is still forecast to turn away from landfalling over Mexico.

Hurricane #Polo is rapidly intensifying 200 miles south of Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán, Mexico, and will likely reach Category 5. Polo is currently forecast to remain offshore, but it’s too soon to say if it won’t come closer to southwest Mexico.

Hurricane #Lowell looms large south of Hawaii. Lowell is strengthening, and will likely become a category 5 hurricane before making a northward turn, coming close to Niʻihau and Kauai early next week.

Tropical Storm #Edouard swirls over land near the Texas-Louisiana border. Radar shows the heavy rain, which is likely to bring some flash flooding.

Zoom Earth @zoom.earth · 27/08/2026
Although it seems deliberate, the use of the name #Dolly for this storm is purely coincidental. Tropical storm and hurricane names come from 6 pre-determined rotating lists. The name Dolly replaced Diana after the 1990 hurricane season and was first used in 1996.

Tropical Depression Two is expected to slowly strengthen and could become a tropical storm Monday near the Florida Panhandle. Tropical storm conditions are possible there, while heavy rain and flash flooding threaten parts of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana through Thursday.

Zoom Earth @zoom.earth · 17/07/2026
What’s that swirl on radar? It’s not a tropical storm… yet. It’s a mesoscale convective vortex (MCV), a temporary spin left behind by thunderstorms. It could develop over the next few days, but heavy rain is the main threat for Florida’s west coast for now.

Super Typhoon #Bavi prowls toward Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. It’s a beast of a storm, equivalent to a category 5 hurricane, and it’s still getting stronger.

The first tropical disturbance of the season has been designated by the NHC in the Eastern Pacific. Some gradual development is possible during the middle part of next week as the broad area of low pressure moves slowly westward or west-northwestward.

Super Typhoon #Sinlaku is bearing down on the Northern Mariana Islands, with landfall imminent over Tinian and Saipan. Winds are 240 km/h. As the sun sets, the eye reveals a “stadium effect”, with towering walls of cloud encircling a deceptively calm core just ahead of impact.

Extratropical Cyclone #Vaianu continues to spiral toward the North Island of New Zealand. Damaging winds are expected, with severe gusts likely to bring down trees, cause power outages, and create hazardous conditions, particularly in exposed northern and eastern areas.

A perfect example of the Coriolis effect at work. Twin cyclones, one in each hemisphere, spinning in opposite directions, and prevented from crossing the equator.

A cyclone has been trapped in the Solomon Sea for several days now 🌀 As it stays locked over warm waters, Cyclone #Maila gathers strength. It will eventually escape in a day or two, tracking toward Australia’s Cape York Peninsula.

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning. @exploration.esa.int @esaearth.esa.int
Spectacular high-resolution image of our home planet viewed through the Orion Crew Module window by the Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon on Flight Day 2, 3 April 2026 (pic: NASA) A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)
