Today is the 11th anniversary of Typhoon #YolandaPH / #Haiyan devastating the #Philippines 🇵🇭 in 2013 and resulting in over 6,300 lives lost. Eleven years on, Yolanda is still the deadliest typhoon during the 21st century.
To mark this date, I am reposting this Day 18 map (Atmosphere) I did for last year’s #30DayMapChallenge.

It seems they never interpolated the storm tracks resulting in these weird strings of circles and arcs? And what’s up with the lack of data in the south? While #TropicalCyclones typically don’t form near nor approach the equator, the hard cutoff at around the 6.6°N latitude is an interesting choice.
Anyway, I can spot 2012’s Typhoon #Bopha / #PabloPH in #Mindanao and 2013’s Typhoon #Haiyan / #YolandaPH in the #Visayas, which tells me that they did use historical data.

The instrumental rock band tide/edit describes their work simply as “happy music,” but this track is one of the few in their discography that contradicts that, and the title points to why.

#ClimateChange increases #naturaldisasters. In this study we developed a method to use #remotesensing data to construct proxy indicators of #socioeconomic change and #DisasterRiskManagement. We measured #recovery performance in #Tacloban area on #Leyte after #typhoon #Haiyan:
