September: warmer than normal... very very dry!

September recap via ECCC's Climate Atlantic.
Ongoing drought conditions continue to be the headline.
Most of the region was far drier than average, however the most extreme conditions were experienced across northern Nova Scotia with just 10 to 30 mm of rainfall.

Imelda and Humberto are both hurricanes and less than 500 miles apart this morning. No two Atlantic hurricanes have been recorded so close together in the satellite era (since 1966). Imelda is Bermuda bound with a possible sting jet forming as it passes.

Hurricanes Imelda and Humberto Lock Arms and Swing Away from the U.S.

Hurricane warnings issued for Bermuda as Imelda threatens a direct hit by late tomorrow into early Thursday

This pair of storms will be impacting Bermuda next couple of days; first with high waves and surf; then hurricane force winds as Imelda passes later tomorrow.

September rainfalls: CoCoRaHS citizen science summaries confirm another very dry month. Most locations well below the 90-120mm normals... blue stations less than 50 percent of normal. Again the Annapolis Valley was remarkably dry.

Jim Abraham @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social · 8d

A sun cloud mix today; spotty showers in the east. With a northerly flow, 20C most likely Fundy & Atlantic coasts.
More cloud and higher chances of showers Wednesday to start October. Cooler north winds: lucky to reach the teens.
Clears up and gradually back into the low-mid 20's thru the weekend.

The jet stream pattern is just set up to persistently move tropical systems well south and regular storms well to our north. Just a weird arrangement!

Multi-model outlook into October: no well organized rain events. Cools off next week, then a return to above normal temperatures next weekend and the following week.

#Humberto and #Imelda will be 100s of miles from each other. How will they interact?
