Etwas überraschend hat der Wetterdienst in Grad Forks, North Dakota einen #Tornado, der am 20.6.2025 auftrat auf die höchste Kategorie 5 hochgestuft. Seit nun mehr 12 Jahren hatte es keinen EF-5 mehr gegeben!

The Enderlin, ND tornado from 6/20/25 has been upgraded to EF5.

Hinter der Kaltfront von Tief #Detlef (int. #StormAmy) haben sich in der höhenkalten Luft viele Schauer und ein paar #Gewitter gebildet. In deren Umgebung können Sturmböen, in Küstennähe auch schwere Sturmböen auftreten.
Nice mesoscale convection behind the cold front.

Beautiful #StormAmy with the core near the Shetland Island with the pressure below 950 hPa. The cold front reached Germany and France already. Note the remnants of #IMELDA on the left side.

Martin Templin @bowecho.bsky.social · 6d

A Stingjet has developed by #StormAmy. Note the cloud head and the descending cloud bands into the dry air coming down from the tropopause. The scotish westcoast is in for a hefty ride right now, expect intense winds there now.

Larger View on #StormAMY to the northwest of the Britisch Isles. A #Stingjet might be in the making, however a definded Dry Intrusion is in the right place to help the rapid deepening low (rapid cyclogenesis). First gusts over 120 kph has been observerd in western Ireland

The developing extratropical low #AMY #stormamy will possibly develope into a Shapiro-Keyser Cyclone with a risk of a Sting Jet. This might happen over the ocean, still gusts over 140 km/h are likely in northern Ireland and Scotland.

A complex synoptic situation is in place over the western North Atlatic. The decaying tropical cyclone #HUMBERTO will lead to a highly baroclinic zone and henceforth a new extratropical low #StormAMY will develope and finally absorb the remnant low. Charts by wxcharts.

Lots of lightnings in the eye of CAT 5 Storm #Humberto. That is a signal of intense convection, henceforth the system is still strengthening.

Another beautiful animation of rapidly intensifiying Hurricane #Humberto right now. I think a recon mission by the Hurricne Hunters would bring light into the real intensity right now. Besides this no doubt that further intensification can be anticipated.

The Typhon #RAGASA is showing up on the Taiwan Radar. The spiral bands are already reaching the island. On the right lower side the eye is starting to get visible. It is far distant of the radar and the radar signal is damped by the thunderstorms in the spiral bands.

What a textbook structure here on Super Typhoon #RAGASA in this Microwave Image. A solid core surrounded by multiple spiral bands. Very intense eyewall convection immanent. Pressure nearing the 900 hPa mark again as the EWRC is succesfully done. Source: tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic.php

Der Typhoon #Ragasa im Westpazifik vor der Küste der Phillipinen. Was für ein prächtiger Sturm, noch ein paar Stunden und er erreicht wahrscheinlcih die höchste Kategorie 5 auf der Saffir-Simpson Skala. Quelle: www.tropicaltidbits.com/storminfo/#24W

Sehr schönes Tief namens #ZACK vor der Küste Irlands derzeit. Morgen dann an der deutschen Nordseeküste erster Herbststurm des Jahres mit Böen um 100 km/h. #Sturm

Hier die Auswertung der Tageshöchsttemperatur für meine Heimat Schleswig-Holstein. In meinem Urlaub (19.7. bis 3.8.) sieht man eindrücklich, dass leider fast alle Tage unterdurchschnittlich waren. Also hatte ich in Summe die schlechtesten zwei Wochen erwischt. 😬

24 hours of intensification of #Erin in the microwave perspective. What a textbook loop with a concentric eye and multiple spiral bands. It is awesome that CIMSS is publishing these animations.

Wow, look at these readings. A stadium effect immanent and flight level winds nearing 160 kt. This is close if not a Category 5 Hurricane right now. Eye temperature over 25°C and pressure down nearing 925 hPa. #Erin

Hurricane #Erin is the first Atlantic #Hurricane of the season, obviously CAT 1 right now. The season has kicked off. The storm should stay offshore for most of it's time, only Bermuda seems to be in a low threat for now, but things can change!

Viel Spaß euch allen. Da ließe sich sicher auch ein schönes Gruppenfoto machen, auch für die tolle Homepage.

Derzeit zieht eine trockene Böenfront in Niedersachsen ostwärts, wie die Berichte in der DWD-App zeigen. Dabei gibt es Böen zwischen 60 und 80 km/h. Diese verlagert sich allmählich nach Sachsen-Anhalt. Quelle: crowd.wettersoftware.de
