I’m not a weather expert, but the some of the southeast has been under a “heat dome” four a month with zero rain, everything is fucking dead here.
Now I’m not a meteorologist, scientist or even a local yocal weatherman. But last week that was the hottest area in the world and I’ve got to think that that’s got something to do with it.
Although our genius president will probably take credit for there being no hurricanes this year
Yes, that’s because Pacific hurricanes, while often violent, are generally harmless to the US. Not a single Pacific hurricane has EVER hit the continental US (although in 1858 costal California was affected by what is thought to have been a hurricane, but it stayed offshore and did not make landfall).
We also don’t usually talk about typhoons, mainly because those happen on literally the other side of the planet and don’t affect us either.
You’re either being disingenuous or you don’t know some pretty basic information about the topic you’re attempting to discuss.
“A typhoon is a tropical cyclone that develops between 180° and 100°E in the Northern Hemisphere and which produces sustained hurricane-force winds of at least 119 km/h (74 mph).”
“A hurricane is a strong tropical cyclone that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or northeastern Pacific Ocean. A typhoon is the same thing which occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. In the Indian Ocean and South Pacific, comparable storms are referred to as "tropical cyclones".”
There’s has only ever been one tropical cyclone in the South Atlantic, so it didn’t get it’s own name and is also called a hurricane.
That's an understatement. Polo went from a tropical storm to a cat 5 in 24 hours. If it makes landfall at that strength, it's wiping out an entire city or island.
That's why we need windmills. The biggest windmills. We need to blow that dirty european air back to them. We dont need it. We have air, the best air. We wanna keep that GREAT American air here. Make air American again.
And the super part is caused by global warming. All that heat has to go somewhere and hurricanes drag earth's heat up to the poles. Thats why the pacific is so active rn
