Tropical Cyclone Alfred is forecast to make a sharp turn westward towards southern Queensland, Australia in the coming days. Landfall is likely north of Brisbane later this week, but the exact timing remains uncertain. The system is expected to weaken before landfall but may still pose significant hazards. A powerful easterly swell and heavy rain could bring coastal flooding from Wednesday as Alfred nears. #australia #foryoupage #fyp #aussie
🌡️ 2024 was a year of contrasts across Europe, with extreme heatwaves and large wildfires, alongside flooding and drought. 🏗️ An increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events poses increased risks to the built environment and infrastructure in Europe, and to the services they provide. 🌆 Yet, progress shines through: 51% of European cities now have adaptation plans, a leap from 26% in 2018. EUMETSAT’s Our Year of Weather 2024 video captures this dynamic year from swirling storms to shifting seasons - all captured from space! ⚡ More must be done. Let’s harness these insights for bolder Climate Action! #weatherreport #fyp #foryoupage #global
The polar vortex, a swirling mass of freezing air, is typically located in northern Canada, Greenland and across the Arctic, keeping the Northern Hemisphere’s coldest conditions bottled up near the North Pole. But this year, the vortex has been residing hundreds of miles farther south. In a desolate part of central South Dakota, an area about 50 miles northwest of Pierre has been 11 degrees below average, making it Earth’s most unusually cold place this year so far. #cold #foryoupage #fyp #coldweather
