And now, onto June 2021 where we also have some wild weather stories to share in our latest #WxWrapUp! (1/7)
#Tropics: The South Atlantic blew us out the water with a strong subtropical storm in the winter of the SHem. Raoni formed & strengthened to a windspeed of 60mph, the strongest since Eçaí, & the strongest pressure wise since Hurricane Catarina '04. Such a rare event. (2/7)
Other than that, the ATL was busy with 3 systems, Bill, Claudette, & Danny. Claudette caused some significant damage to the south with 14 deaths (deadliest tropical storm in US since Fay '08) & bringing a few tornadoes (stated in a later thread). (3/7)
#SevereWx: There was so many international tornadoes, especially in China & much of Europe. One of the most notable was a strong F4 that slammed into SE Czechia in South Moravia. It was the 1st F4+ since 2015 & 6 were killed. (4/7)
In the USA, a few notable tornadoes occurred, including the EF2 spawned from Claudette & an EF3 in Naperville, IL outside of Chicago. Both these tornadoes caused a lot of injuries & left many homeless. Thankfully no one had died from those tornadoes. (5/7)
In Quebec, an EF2 went through Mascouche near the Montreal area, killing a man in his 60s. A house under construction was shifted off the foundation & many other houses had roofs destroyed. It's the 1st EF2 tornado in Quebec since 2019. (6/7)
OtherWx: An unprecedented heat wave & wildfires ravaged through the Pacific NW & BC. A bunch of high temp. records were shattered & worse, these are areas with not many AC units. Lytton, BC broke the highest temp record for Canada with it reaching 121F (~50C). (7/7)
