An interesting/worrying forecast for the South West Indian Ocean, with another tropical cyclone on the way. ECMWF IFS: growing likelihood of the cyclone making 2nd landfall in MDG. AI models: storm staying out in Moz channel, or even landfall in MOZ

The landfall of #CycloneChido in Mozambique as a Cat4-equivalent storm was well forecasted, providing @Red_Cross_Moz sufficient time to support vulnerable communities with anticipatory actions.
As #CycloneChido made landfall in #Mozambique, increased preparedness by @Red_Cross_Moz proved vital. Over 2,000 families received life-saving messages ahead of the cyclone, vulnerable families have received emergency supplies, and boats were prepositioned for search & rescue.

Small islands must be supported to build resilience to tropical cyclones. It is not enough to just improve early warning systems. We must strengthen homes and critical infrastructure to ensure that people have somewhere safe to shelter and essential services remain operational.

Watch how #PepitoPH #ManYi is deflected by its landfall on Catanduanes island. If the forecast model gets the track of the cyclone slightly wrong, the deflection looks quite different.
After striking the island of Catanduanes in the #Philippines, Typhoon Pepito / Man-yi is forecast to soon make another landfall over Luzon near Baler with winds of around 185 km/h 🌀 #PepitoPH

Great thread (for weather nerds at least) on rainfall observations from Valencia floods last week. I'd be interested to know how far back the sub-daily measurements go.

@HayleyJFowler @JamesPope10 I made a mental note to never be surprised what water can do after watching videos of the storm surge during Haiyan / Yolanda:

Really like this framing from Prof. Ana Camarasa-Belmonte of rainfall events in Eastern Spain becoming less of a resource and more of a risk:

@PeaseRoland @RCClimate @royalsociety @JoyOmmer And we have just published this paper calling for the scientific community to be more imaginative when it comes to researching unprecedented weather / climate events:
