But before that, plenty of fine weather to be had through the course of this long weekend.” Keep up to date with weather warnings, and you can find

model (known as GloSea) is used to forecast the number of tropical storms (including hurricanes) and Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index for the Atlantic sector in the period July to November 2008. Recent research has shown that the skill of dynamical systems such as GloSea is challenging

are strengthening further north in the western North Pacific Ocean region. Over the United States, tropical cyclones (known locally as Hurricanes) progress slower over the country compared the early 20th century. The mechanics of tropical cyclones and how they interact with our changing climate

the year for some of its more notable weather events. Events like ex-hurricane Ophelia, which in October brought high winds and disruption to parts of Ireland and the UK, and memorably for some drew up dust from the Sahara and smoke from the wildfires in Iberia, giving us the appearance of sunset

in the northern hemisphere (clockwise in the southern hemisphere). A tropical storm is a tropical cyclone with mean wind speeds of at least 39 mph The terms hurricane and typhoon are region-specific names for strong tropical cyclones with wind speeds of more than 73 mph The North Atlantic tropical storm

and Tuesday had a different origin as it developed from a hurricane in the tropical Atlantic. Therefore, Ophelia’s original name was continued rather than using the next predetermined name from the UK and Ireland’s storm-naming process.

has been named in line with the Met Office’s storm naming protocol, which aims to improve public awareness and readiness for impactful weather. The storm’s evolution is being closely monitored, with its development influenced by the remnants of Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda over the tropical

natural variability and climate change. It has already been demonstrated that skillful multi-year predictions of Atlantic hurricane frequency can be produced (Smith et al. 2010). Much more remains to be done to exploit the regional information in decadal forecasts and indeed in climate predictions
