  1. Germany has a warning for tonight, a storm coming from the South West. I thought, SouthWest is unusual for winter, hence I checked the broader conditions @ #EarthNullschool earth.nullschool.net/#current/
    Top left:
    So there's this #PolarVortex #SSW split still ongoing, as seen in windspeeds at 10hPa.

    Top right: the normal #jetstream at 250hPa races from North America straight to Europe because, I reckon, there's the hard border between the Azores High pressure system and the Iceland Low. (not in picture). Where the jet "hits" Spain, it gets driven North East. Dunno why. (And creates that storm in Germany. #weather )

    Bottom left: sea surface temperature anomaly in the #Atlantic with a location in the #ColdBlob highlighted. It's currently 0.1°C colder than its longterm average. Yay. And for real it's 2.1°C warm there. #AMOC

    And now the eyeopener🥁
    the bottom right pic shows "significant wave height". The cold blob sees 9-10m waves = ocean mixing, bigly.
    Are waves 1 of the 🌡️ reasons that blob forms where it does?

    The continental blast of hot air seems to have given in to the usual westerlies. Next up: likely clouds, rain and cooler temperatures.

    Some of us enjoyed the summer this year. As the joke goes: it was this Sunday.

  3. If you are in the #UK and are wondering why these first weeks of Spring are cold and gloomy, wonder no more. Recording of winds at 250 hPa, an atmospheric pressure corresponding to the altitude of the jet stream.
