#ExtremeWeather forecast analysis thread - Pakistan.

An #extremeweather snow event in Northern Pakistan has killed at least 22 people. This thread looks at the atmospheric causes assess whether this was avoidable.

It appears that it was.

news.sky.com/story/murree-2…
This animation shows the satellite presentation of the storm for 24 hours beginning on the sixth. And suggests that the ongoing #extremeweather in in the Middle East due to tropical water flows from the Amazon/Atlantic across the Sahara contributed.
News emerged about the tragedy on January 8th on social media. Tourists caught and buried in the snowstorm in their cars were the victims. Tweet 1/2 from @Arab_Storms

This points to a need for the Govt. Of Ethiopia to operate a 24/7 media response desk which proactively talks to reporters, explains things to them on background and provides opportunities for them to conduct IVs and generally provides them with the sort of service they require.
I appreciate there is no trust and that the military situation is complicated and makes things difficult. But the value of such an effort and investment would be massive. One side needs to rebuild the trust and that has to be the GoE. @mfaethiopia ought to be involved.
Also media domestic and international need an update from @PMEthiopia urgently on the war, diplomatic efforts, the humanitarian situation and the prisoner release via @BilleneSeyoum.

The leading edge of the next monsoon charged atmospheric river has arrived in the Middle East and the next phase of unusual possibly extreme winter weather in the region is about to commence.
The GFS 16-day rain forecast predicts a very similar amount of rain to the last major phase in this extended period of intense #ArabianStorms which finished 2 days ago.
For a recap of what has happened so far, this thread from this morning looks at the period 17 December to today, and tracks the Atlantic-Amazon sourced atmospheric river involved in all this all the way to China.

An animation showing the current #SaharaWaterTransport #MiddleEast #ExtremeWeather event over its full terrestrial area and timescale from 17th December till today.

Daily rain intensity measures show where rain fell each day.
1. Along the bottom the monsoon atmospheric river moves West.
2. Over the Atlantic storms produce atmospheric moisture.
3. This travels ENE over the Sahara to the Middle East

[Src. New animation service on @Nasa #Worldview.]
@NASA This animation looks at the next segment in water transport - same time period - over the Indian Ocean and Eurasia to China. Again the monsoon is moving in the opposite direction.

It is remarkably how shallow the angle is of the atmospheric rivers which are moving ENE.

This is what an approaching #extremeweather event looks like.
This cloud pattern is exquisite.
Hundreds of small thunderstorms, all in a line over the great forest of Africa, all producing a stream of atmospheric water of heading towards a great river over the Sahel.
Those are lakes Albert and Victoria bottom right. The large cloudless area is also unusual. Probably a localised fairly large high pressure system of some kind.
