@jeanne-mayell thank you so much for all your insights! I’m slowly developing my intuition so one day I can see things like you do
We are supposed to fly out of Miami next midweek. I hope the rain has moved on by then. They are really having big problems due to excessive rain and flooding.
All we got here in NCFL was a couple of hours of a heavy thunderstorm. Then it was gone. We need a lot more.
Next chances of tropical cyclones will be in the bay of Campeche with track toward Mexico and Texas (just like Alberto last week), then a wave enters the Caribbean in 7 days, and by 7 to 10 days may either enter the gulf or go west into Central America. Huge uncertainty, assuming it enters the gulf and with troughing over the East US starting next week onwards, gulf coast residents would need to watch it.
@navinsinghmedgmail-com I like to follow weather too! All types of weather events. All I know so far, is that whatever is going to happen weather wise is already locked in. The Earth Mother is finding balance. I was horrified to see that 1300 people died at the religious place for Muslims in Saudi Arabia. The deaths were heat related.
We have our first named storm of the 2024 season. Tropical storm Beryl is getting stronger...and.. poised to be the first major hurricane of the season.. expected to be a hurricane by Sunday. https://apnews.com/article/tropical-system-beryl-caribbean-0a61043f36a9439f8037147d60e
Beryl has strengthened in to an unprecedented Cat 4 ... never before has one been this strong this early ... it's gonna be bad y'all.

Unfortunately, a historic and record breaking severe hurricane season that I have been concerned about since this spring is now manifesting for the Atlantic. Hurricane Beryl is category 4, strongest in June in recorded history. This hurricane will bring catastrophic impacts to the windward islands and possibly Jamaica and Central America down the road including the Yucatán. Mexico and Texas need to watch this too. The hurricane out there now will pass south of Florida, another system in the Bay of Campeche will go towards Mexico. The system behind Hurricane beryl is one we may need to watch, but track is highly uncertain beyond 5 days. In 5 days I’ll have a much better idea on the low behind beryl which we need to monitor.
here is the list of hurricane names for the 2024 Atlantic season, in case anyone wants to practice psychic weather forecasting:

@journeywithme2 my only prediction is that they may run out of names on that list because of too many storms. I've never understood why they recycle the same names so often, only retiring the ones that end up causing lots of fatalities. With 8 billion people in the world, it's not like they will run out of names anytime soon. Maybe they could start using surnames if they want to keep using the same forenames over and over.
Thinking about surnames, I decided to look up the 10,000 most common surnames on Earth. I will list them here:
Just kidding! But here is a link where they did https://forebears.io/earth/surnames
It's pretty interesting. For example there is the last name You (#268), and I (#78). It gives the meaning of the names, where they came from, and lots of other info. The most common surname in the world is Wang (#1), with over 1.7 million people, whereas Dong is only #87. Yes, I am a twelve year old boy. Ha! ( the name Ha is #321)
correction: the #1 surname in the world has over 107 million people with that last name

@unk-p that thought crossed my mind as I was reading the names. I also like to play the Hurricane name game and guess the most news making ones.
I am not really good at it. I wonder though if Francine and Gordon come close together?
I wonder though if Francine and Gordon come close together?
um, i'm gonna say...yes? 😀 at least alphabetically
btw, where is @navinsinghmedgmail-com ?
sorry for derailing your thread Navin! Our brother Navin has some really cool ambient weather videos at https://www.youtube.com/@tampabaystormchaser

@unk-p thank you very much! I love filming and witnessing the local storms- really developing my intuition to see if I can get a read on which storms impact Tampa Bay and Florida peninsula this year
@pat-czap I am an October baby and Opal made a big mess for us back in October of 1995 ... so I understand.
Beryl now earliest category 5 on record- going towards Jamaica Yucatán Mexico and then possibly Texas
