Are farting cows climate criminals? Sounds hard to believe, but Livestock (farmed animals) are responsible for about 10% of global warming! However, the farting part… that’s not quite right. (For the record, I’m not a cow hater. In fact, like them so much, I don’t eat them.)

Unbelievable rain totals for dry season! Almost 3 Decembers worth of rain in 24 hours in spots. Normal Dec #rain is 2.5”. Downtown #Tampa had double that! Areas like Tarpon Springs, Palm Harbor, East Lake, Odessa, Trinity, Keystone, Lutz, Wesley Chapel etc.., had 5 to 7 inches.

Flash flooding ongoing in Palm Harbor. @WeatherProf @PaulFox13 @FLStormChasers_

While the US has near record early December snow cover, Eurasia and the Northern Hemisphere has record low snow cover. Florida meanwhile is tied for early December record most (and least) record snow cover.

Finally some good news. The more chocolate you eat, the smarter you get, lol

“We demonstrate that in response to [greenhouse] warming, a state-of-the-art high-resolution climate model simulates a rapid transition from a moderate-amplitude irregular regime, as observed in the current climate, to a highly regular oscillation with intensifying amplitude.

Latest Hi-Res model shows a soaking! Sunday Rain Timing: This animation goes from Sunday 1pm until midnight. The steady, heavy rain mainly arrives this evening, after the Bucs game. Before that, a few hit & miss showers, otherwise warm/ muggy today. Timing: -Nature Coast

“The climate crisis and overfishing have been attributed to driving the decline in sardine levels during the same period. Losses of African penguins were also “mirrored elsewhere”, Dr Richard Sherley, from the Centre for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter, said,

CO2 emissions continue to increase year over year. This is the 3 year average trend.

New ECMWF guidance shows La Niña rapidly transitioning to El Niño in 2026. It's early, but several indicators lean toward El Niño next year, such as an ongoing westerly wind burst and near-record warmth in the West Pacific Warm Pool. 2026 could be quite a year for weather.

Science! Never seen this phenomenon from a building before!! This 1-minute timelapse I shot tonight in downtown #Tampa shows how buildings can act like mountains and cause clouds to form. On the downwind side of mountains lenticular clouds often form due to the wind being forced

First colder than normal EIA week of new pattern - from Fri Nov 28 to Thu Dec 4 - was coldest of 2000s for matching dates.

I’ll tell you one thing… glad to be on the south side of this front! Sharp cold front with a 50° temperature contrast today between Florida and North Carolina today. #summer #winter

Much needed rain finally arrives this weekend! The timing ain’t great. But by Monday many areas will pick up 1-3 inches… 3 inches North FL and about an inch around I-4 Tampa to Orlando. To limit disappointment… as is typical, showers will be hit and miss, so it will be a case

Impressive early winter cold 🥶spread from the Ohio Valley to Northeast today. ~60 Record Lows with temps as much as 40°+ below normal. Bundle up!! #winter #cold

If “You Are Here” then congratulations, you’ve won winter!! #florida #winter #beachlife

European Summer in Winter? Not quite, but winter weather is not in sight over the next 2 weeks, as Europe blowtorches with temps surging to 10-15° C above normal. #Europe #weather #warm #winter

Collapse of key Atlantic current could bring extreme drought to Europe for centuries, study finds. That's an under-appreciated impact of an #AMOC shutdown, of particular concern given the recent results showing much higher likelihood of this. 1/2 https://t.co/thkGepMJIQ

I can’t get over the difference between the Euro and Euro AI in the 10-15 period in terms of a pattern shift or not. Most guidance (including ensembles) suggests the Euro AI is wrong, and cold will stay stubborn in the East. Certainly worth looking back on to see how it pans
