I bet that avid weather watchers are creaming in their underpants.

Hi Doc

Orphelia is not a normal hurricane

Normal hurricanes get their energy from warm water below. If warm water is missing, they die out. Orphelia will find another source of energy. She will cross the polarjet. The jet devides suptropical conditions in the south from suppolar conditions in the north.

Hurricanes generally are filled with warm wet air, typically -10...0°C in 500 hPa (5000 m). North of the jet Orphelia will find -25°C . So the warm air wet will rise like a giant balloon into the cold air and Orphelia will convert to a "normal" Atlantic cyclone.

In North America this process will last a few days, Orphelia will do it in a few minutes. It looks more than a giant thunderstorm than a cyclone conversion. I fear about local excessive rainfall and strong downbusting winds.

Monday morning the polarjet is located exactly over Ireland southwest to northeast. Tropical Orphelia will meet polar conditions near the southwest coast. I hope over sea. Orphelia has nne direction, the jet runs sw to ne.

But no one exactly knows what will happen, because such an event was never observed in detail before.

Well if rainfall is to be the real worry then that's a good thing ... 'cause I'm on the side of a mountain so if I get flooded you're all dead .

Same here - in fact it looks a lot like a scene from the recent Bladerunner sequel outside with everything bathed in a brassy orange coloured light.

Its a bit weird around here at the moment.
Cloudy but the sun is trying to break out.
A little windy but the really weird thing is how warm it is outside.
Sat in the house with a work shirt on.
Just been outside and it was like getting off a holiday plane at the airport.
My goggles even steamed up

  What bad weather ? barely a breeze here in Newcastle ,although it did get VERY dark here about an hour ago .

Global Forecast System says, that another (tropical? ) storm will develop west of the Azores on Thursday. It will became rapidly stronger and will drift eastwards very fast. Center pressure will be 965 hPa o Sunday. Track unsure...

Its blowing a fair bit here too. and what with poxy scaffolding and loose roof tiles thanks to the cuddy morons earlier it has me a little worried. and we also caught the orange sun and the dust all over the cars.

Getting a bit blowy here and the odd branch snapped off

[Kevin Wood]

OMG! I can even see the leaves moving on the trees outside now.

I'm sure we will get used to lots of weird coloured sky's and radiation effects once Trump & DPRK start throwing instant sunshine at each other. Remember that DPRK is in the Northern Hemisphere about level with Spain.
