In all fairness the predictions for numbers of storm is way off thus far this year. Yes I know the season has months to go and I’m sure there will be some late season storms in addition to extra tropical systems that get names.
Lots of Sahara dust kept things quiet mid season. Likely things will pick up shortly. Here in our area it seems like we are getting early season “cool” fronts pushing down earlier than normal. That’s generally causes systems to “right hook” and stay out to sea. However TS can spin off the “tails” of these fronts and cause local “home grown” storms to pop up.
Link to article on MSN 2 days ago MSN So 50 million years ago the average temperature was almost double what is was last year ? At its hottest, the study suggests, the Earth’s average temperature reached 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit (36 degrees Celsius) — far higher than the historic 58.96 F (14.98 C) the planet hit last year.
saw that. of course humans weren't around then either. amazing that humans have only came to be during the coldest part of earth history. homosapiens only around the last 300k years
The Fahrenheit scale can go quite negative, so 98F isn’t close to double 59F. Converting to Kelvin, which does have an absolute zero, can help us there. Last year, the average temp was around 288K, and 50 MYA it was around 310K.
I saw this a few days ago and I figured some numb nut would post it here, not understanding at all the relevance or irrelevance of it to the current situation. Not shockingly you didn’t post this part We know that these catastrophic events … shift the landscape of what life looks like,” Judd said. “When the environment warms that fast, animals and plants can’t keep pace with it.” At no point in the nearly half-billion years that Judd and her colleagues analyzed did the Earth change as fast as it is changing now, she added: “In the same way as a massive asteroid hitting the Earth, what we’re doing now is unprecedented.”
