16th to 23rd August: 21:16.

THere is already a Low over the UK. Soon it will be joined by another
from the USA or Canada. THat obne has already been assosciated with
some Aleutian quakes when it left the Appalachians/ XCarolinas or
wherever.

When it joins up with the stuff over here there will be some rotation
and then it will go to the Baltic.

If it does, then the North Atlantic will go negative again as it did
over the last day or so. The present low pressure some sixty
something North, thirty degrees West is low; 978 MB is a change in the
weather.

Everything else in the N Atlantic is still "negative".

Totally!

Which probably explains whuy the storm Fay is not much more than a
gale.:

ACTIVE STORMS
Fay (Atlantic)
13W (West Pacific)
Vongfong (West Pacific)

Some heavy or at least prolonged rain in Britain. I gather that means
drought west of the main rivers in the USA. I know it means more than
the usual supply of rain for the eastern seaboard there.
Iselle (East Pacific)

I was going to suggest that the Low off S Greenland would meet up with
the one off W. Britain as the latter moved north but thought I'd have
a day or two to consider things.

It now looks like the Greenland Low is being sucked into the UK one:
http://www.cuckney.pwp.blueyonder.co...r/Dorridge.htm

Wish I'd stated that yesterday. I considered a tongue would join them
and they would build as a large trough. But this is not a spell for
troughs and Lows off Britain tend to dominate during them.

Pity I will have forgotten by next time:
7th October; 09:04. 15th September; 09:13 and 19th November; 21:31.

You'd think I could pay attention for them wouldn't you?
The thing is I got used to seeing years go by without a suitable match
turning up. It's like there is no starter to the motor.

Meanwhile in the planet's meteorological home or heartland, things
look decidedly misty, always a good sign for tropical storms.

ACTIVE STORMS
Fay (Atlantic) 60 mph but on the US mainland by now.
Nuri (West Pacific) A typhoon slated to reach Cat 3.

The Atlantic chart is fascinating.

Never mind that.
In a couple of days the slated Cat 3 will drop to barely an hurricane
force then straight to a fresh breeze. So pay attention to the NEIC
list for overlapping quakes on the 21st and 22nd:
http://www.hurricanezone.net/tcgraphics/wp1308.gif.

Very more-ish isn't it?

Meanwhile, things are hotting up:
6.1 M. TONGA
5.7 M. EASTER ISLAND REGION

Is that because there are more noise sources or because the sounds are
getting louder?

or
http://www.cuckney.pwp.blueyonder.co...r/Dorridge.htm

I suppose it depends on which version of the Atlantic chart you look
at.
Mind you, there is always this on the obverse.

It is still very negative, more so than earlier. Take a look at the
dartboard he
https://www.fnmoc.navy.mil/efs/dynam...atl_gale_0.gif

It's hidden by the legend in the MetO one. But the MetO chart shows
what can happen after a convergence:
http://www.cuckney.pwp.blueyonder.co...r/Dorridge.htm

In darts those are called "nice arrows". Just under 10 degrees apart.
I wonder how far apart they can get after a convergence.

And why is Britain a convergence zone for them? Is that what the term
"a gathering storm" is taken from?

One thing about the Atlantic Chart based on the Met Office's handling
of data. If it is a gathering place it is also the gathering place of
the most weather data in the world per capita. I bet there isn't a
spot on earth more closely studied than the waters around the UK.

Forgot the link, a pretty flare up imn the bay off Alaska / NW Canada:

https://www.fnmoc.navy.mil/efs/dynam...pac_gale_0.gif

Settled down almost immediately. I bet there was a major eruption
nearby or something like that.

Meanwhile these look like slim pickings for the demise of any storms:

2.7 M. 21st 04:35:05 36.000 -89.870 Arkansas
2.6 M. 21st 03:36:13 34.880 -90.650 Arkansas

3.0 M. 20th 16:08:44 18.313 -66.050 Puerto Rico
3.0 M. 20th 16:08:44 18.314 -66.057 Puerto Rico

I should have thought something more vigorous was called for in view
of the power of the cyclones involved... or not, as the case might be.

WTF is going on with the Puerto Rican ones? Or is that a reporting
error?

Right!

This is a bit more like it:

5.0 M. 21st. 12:21. 25.0 97.8 Myanmar-China Border region.

That's worth 35 knots to a Cat 3 storm. (Nuri; warning No 20 = 60
knots. Unless it lost a few somewhere else, anyone know?)
