What you looked at was for the year!!!

Sept 4th is recorded as 1.19inches   (about 30mms), high,   but not unusual in a thundery spell.

MIA

 

No MIA its for today only. 560mm today after 218mm yesterday.

Thanks Cheese..

It looks like its developing into a Mediteranean hurricane. cant remember what nickname they re called.

We have seen one or two picked out over the last year or two.

I remember Cyprus being hit by one around 2003 -5 when I was there.

Cheese...

Something is wrong (again\  here with this report from Zaporo 

I have checked the weather stations for Zaporo in Greece and nothing like those values are showing.

They did have a heavy thunderstorm yesterday pm but only around 2 inches (?) . they are forecast storms pm for today and tomorrow.

Could it be that someone in Greece is reading the 29.71 inches of barometric pressure as rainfall...…  (about 600 mms if converted).)

I do agree that in the mountains behind the ocean strip could have seen some very high totals.

[reef]

And the weather station shown has an elevation of 29m. Its average annual rainfall is about 600mm, so nearly 800mm in two days is unheard of.

According to Cheese's video it is expected to deepen into a 'medicane' in the next few days.

Then anything will be possible.

I have had a look at Zagoro - see link below

It shows nothing like those numbers. Where is this data coming from?

Two or 3 inches both today and tomorrow.

OK let's start with a look into the dynamics involved with the pattern evolutions over multiple European countries.

Think of an analogy like putting a stopper in a bath, keeping the tap running, eventually with time this causes the water to fold / break over the  

Essentially we're getting a double RWB event each event has different characteristics with our current setup taking on a classic TRT [Trough>>Ridge>>Trough] look, however a single RWB event doing double breaking is pretty rare especially the conditions which have occurred thus far plus the rare setup yet to unfold, more on this shortly.

Multiple very important developing situations to watch here, I'll start with the evolutions following the Spanish wave breaking low. Interesting here as we draw our focus to Franklin 

Note there will be a merger taking place 

My big question is will this be a warm core which would maintain the tropical status of Franklin

This looks the most probable as Franklin's core is the dominant one and that's giving a legit TC meandering near to Portugal 2023 weather bingo card continues to deliver 

Now 95L ie developments involving Lee a worrying early trend He will have full scope across the MDR with an accompanying CCKW which will aid cyclogenisis. 

Currently I'm expectant to have Lee, Margot and the aforementioned Franklin all active come this weekend

We'll see how this trend evolves but definitely a worrying scenario which depends on 2 high pressure zones 

• One moving down from Canada
• Another west of Franklin / within the Atlantic

A Sandy style path is definitely within reason

The dynamical evolutions we see appearing were always coming you've got to factor us seeing a stagnating MJO for a month + via phases 8&1, I highlighted the next cycle getting on the go into week 1 of September... lo and behold the amplified tendency activated in the here and now

Joining all that action above is the upstream of the TRT scenario which leads to a Tropical Cyclone in this area via the Ionian Sea -- Mediterranean 

I have multiple zones I'm worried for substantial flood situations 

Iceland

Norway

Greece

Trends continue emerging with the gradual progression of the less amplified setup as September gets into the weeks 3-4 which I'd mentioned as my expectations

Good mention of additional countries like Bulgaria and Istanbul which was affected massively @jonboy There was an upper level jet streak which some modelling developed quite agressive on the Eastern flank during initial stage of development very akin to what occured toward Madrid I'm on PC atm I'll grab the data once I get back to my tablet (MIA some refer to TC development within the Med as Medicanes but its the same principle as TC systems that occur outwith)

Every day now sees catastrophic rainfall levels somewhere, on a massive basis...higher temperatures means more water can be held in the atmosphere, with the result...

No the main reason is the added 15 to 20% of water vapour by hunga tonga. That water vapour is concentrated in pockets of towards 50% extra not in the troposphere but often in the stratosphere

Is that how you explain the worldwide  temperature records, the sea ice deficit, and the record wildfire outbreaks too??

Just saw this on Twitter. A video of after the water receded in a nearby location

Back to Hong Kong...how precious is an umbrella...

[matty40s]

Not sure this guy has got it quite correct either...

Another one determined to save umbrella at all cost...
