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)
