   That chart shows unmitigated, catastrophic warming, spiraling out of control! The end is near! (sarc).

   Should be plenty of cold records over the next several days.

   This cold shot should help bring the hurricane season to life in the coming days and weeks. After all, hurricanes are earth’s “air conditioning” systems and if it is just about as warm in the mid-latitudes as it is in the tropics, (like it usually is in June and July) there essentially isn’t nearly as much of a need for them, but once late summer and fall comes around, the colder air masses make the tropics seem warmer in relation to the mid-latitudes. In general, by August and September, hurricanes come in earnest to try and correct the natural imbalance that is created by the cooler air masses.

     Maybe that big target called Florida will finally get hit!…

       I am thinking that a direct hit on Chesapeake Bay is long overdue.

       Well, we are still in the LONGEST period of time ever without a major hurricane hitting the US, the last one was Wilma (05), if we don’t get one this year, wow, that would be something.

   As of now, it has been the same song and dance, many named storms but nothing very interesting. But it is still early in the hurricane season.
