Bertha has degeneraged to an open trough, and is no more …

Elsewhere in the Atlantic and Gulf is quiet.
Hurricane Fausot might actually make it to Hawai’i as a tropical storm in five days. Here are NHC/CPHC’s Key messages regarding Hurricane Fausto (en Español: Mensajes Claves).

In the West Pacific, Typhoon Noul is passing the northern Philippines today and JTWC is forecasting it to hit Hong Kong on Saturday. It’s not a strong storm as such things go, but given the population and infrastructure density a direct hit on Hong Kong could easily top $1 Billion in impacts.


If you appreciate the blog, the best way to get it is to subscribe to the emails. You can subscribe and also donate to keep it going at this link. Many thanks to those who have contributed to keep the blog going!
You can also follow us on Musk’s Egostroker X/Twitter (@EnkiResearch), Telegram, BlueSky, or even Fakebook if that is your preferred social media quagmire. But be aware that social media algorithms don’t like to show you posts in chronological order. They “upgrade” sensationalist material, and “downgrade” posts that have outside links in order to keep you on their platform, so it’s not a great way to get weather warnings or news (or anything other than a variety of psychiatric symptoms for that matter).
