Misty morning coming to work. Decent line of heavy rain in NW nj.

The increased economic damage is due to the huge increase in building on the coasts, in particular of luxury properties. I lived right on the coast in both FL and CA over the past few decades, and have seen in firsthand. Much of it also is due to generally increased economic prosperity (and population increase), and due to inflation. As your economy grows, you're going to have a lot more stuff that can get damaged. Not an indicator of "world death" but actually the opposite in fact. Re: European heat wave Much of that could have been prevented if a lot more people had air conditioning, as they do in places like the US.

Yeah, starting to see the SW CONUS trough develop in response to the forcing extending into that area from the EPAC.

this is part of the frustration - focusing on minutia to distract from the elephant

54/51 with showers around, looks like a heavier band heading toward the valley

Muggy meters into Nov?

Its time for hoodie weather

This is classic, strong east-based/East Pacific (EP) El Niño forcing. And +IOD forcing is starting to show up in the global circulation now too:

We've gotten much better at avoiding deaths in natural disasters through prediction and warnings. The number and intensity of climate-related disasters is increasing. The death toll from natural disasters this year could be relatively high due to the European heat wave and the Nepal landslide. We'll see when the numbers come out next year.

Looks rather mild overall for the rest of the month. Love to see it.

Huh looks rather mundane next week. AWT. Maybe some winds and a few showers near coast or Cape.

Trend has definitely been towards a stronger tucked coastal. Major impacts for obx looking likely now with prolonged exposure to NE wind and fetch with strong winds on land as well. Inland this should deliver moderate but beneficial rain. If this is a sign for what’s in store this winter I’ll be very happy, this is a snowstorm setup just a couple months too early

58 degrees this morning. Raining

Forecast keeps bringing down the temps. Calling for a high of 49 for Saturday and a low of 30 degrees Sunday morning. I've also noticed the models are muting the warm up next week as well.
