This time its personal!
The image below shows a large storm headed directly towards me here in Brittany, France which will arrive shortly. And it’s part of a bigger picture. #EuropeBigWet update.
NOTE: Today the Euro @ECMWF model is unavailable due to a data feed issue.
And appropriately given my two and half months monitoring this phenomena the storm that is approaching has also come 6000kms due north across the Western Sahara. I.E. its a #WestAfricaWaterPlume.
The wind is now coming up. The cows are sitting down and it’s eerily quiet. Earlier there was rumbling sounds of thunder in the distance.
The RainViewer app shows there is rain hereabouts but only a few drops at the moment. iPhone says I have till 4pm. And @zoom_earth satellite images confirm that looks about right.
Whither Cyclone Bill? (See thread)
Last night Bill was consumed by a big low near Newfoundland.
This low has now - with two storms running north in parallel (thread) - now become a lot lot larger and wetter.
Left: Last night
Right: This morning
As for Cyclone Bill, RIP.
But the spirt if Bill is due to return tomorrow afternoon in the form of a low which is forecast to arrive in the UK and Ireland on Sunday and then possibly hang around till Solstice next Wednesday.
And by Solstice, a lot of rain is expected to have fallen around here.
