Heads-Up! Killer Heat Wave followed by Killer Typhoon -- Coincidence?
Not at all. Heat is the food that creates and sustains creation of
typhoons, cyclones, huricanes and tornadoes. The powerful updraft
thermals draw in unstable cooler air which condenses the water vapor
contents to rain. Sustained cyles of updrafts reaching high altitude
cool the wet air sufficiently that self-perpetuating storms coalese.


Of course. This explains why the Sahara desert sees nothing but
unrelenting deluge from the permanent monster hurricane parked over the
140° sand dunes.


Did you note the mention of water vapor? It's a bit hard to get large
amounts of water over the Sahara desert, that's why it is a desert.



No it's not. There's not large amount of water-vapor pouring in from the
very nearby Atlantic and Indian oceans because the Sahara is parked
under a subsidence high-pressure belt.
