“The European drought is a compound crisis, driven by prolonged precipitation deficits and extreme heat, with impacts already evident despite the summer only just beginning.

Wildfire activity has also intensified rapidly in western Europe. The drought is placing severe strain on agriculture”

This is a black and white photo in landscape format of a busy airport taxiway surrounded by fog with a long line of aircraft waiting to takeoff. JFK, New York (2011). One third of the way to the right of the left edge of the photo is a long solid line stretching along the centre of the taxiway and away from the camera. A short distance to the right of the centre line (about ten cm) is a line of lights inset into the tarmac, spaced every few metres. About ten metres to the left and right of the centre line are two parallel solid lines marking the edge of the taxiway, one either side, though the tarmac continues for a distance of another five or ten metres beyond. Further to the right is a wide grass area before a small portion of a parallel runway is in view. Surrounding this scene is a bright, white, morning fog with a visibility of no more than five hundred metres. In front of the camera is a row of five aircraft on the taxiway waiting for their turn to take off. The closest aircraft is about ten metres from the camera, is a Boeing 737 narrow body, shorthaul aircraft with two jet engines slung under the wings and small winglets on the wingtips. Beyond the queue of aircraft is a further larger aircraft, about five hundred metres away, at right angles to the taxiway and is on the runway and starting its takeoff roll, this aircraft is partially obscured by the fog. Above and beyond is filled with a large body of bright, morning fog.

NWS radar snapshot showing a line of thunderstorms crossing Portland, Oregon

Who's surprised about thunderstorms in Oregon & Washington? There's always someone who says we "never" get thunderstorms. I heard the same thing when I lived in California. Thunderstorms are weird that at least small ones happen far more often than most people realize. Meteorologists & pilots are trained to recognize cumulonimbus clouds, or storm cells on weather radar. Without such training, most people need to hear thunder or see lightning to recognize a thunderstorm. #weather #ORwx #WAwx #PNW

The completely predictable thunderstorm that is going on right now is why we don't trust forecasters as much as our eyes.

This was a tip in from a stepladder.

4/3 (oops) The cause of this drought is a high pressure system sitting mid-Atlantic which is being caught between southern weather patterns pushing north and northern ice melt/higher temperatures pushing northern weather fronts south.
This high is storing heat out at sea and evaporating sea water which currently has nowhere to go. While we are all needing rain, the likely outcome of a summer weather pattern like this is storms- and storms which have been powered by a continuous high pressure ‘battery’ or energy store for weeks.
This is so very far from the normal tracking of weekly changeable weather across the Atlantic to the Western Seaboard of the UK it is hard to imagine or prepare for - there’s certainly a lot of unpredictability in it - but in basic terms we are likely to be in for a wild autumn after such a hot summer.

That's a long way to go only to turn around. New York JFK Airport is ground-stopped for thunderstorms. Alaska 18 PDX-JFK is diverting back toward PDX after over 1-1/2 hours, near the MT/ND border. This is a quirk of an airline with all its hubs on the West Coast. They have ground crews at other airports which could handle the plane while it waits. But maybe so many flights diverting at once left dispatchers unable to find enough gates.☹️ https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N949AK/history/20260718/1757Z/KPDX/KJFK #aviation #travel #avgeek #weather
