Do the recent or right-now-ongoing crazy global weather scare you? Bother you? Interest you?

I'm pulling this from various media sources, because there is so much crazy weather happening now, or that has happened within the last couple of weeks, it seems like no single media source is picking it up.

From Heatmap AM:

Houston’s floods – More than 400 people in and around Houston, Texas, evacuated their homes over the weekend due to flooding. At least one person, a child, was killed. In one nearby county, more than 21 inches of rain fell over five days last week. The rain has tapered off but the cleanup has just begun.

Brazil’s rain – In Brazil’s southern state of Rio Grande do Sul, days of intense rain caused the Guaiba River to overflow and flood more than 340 cities, including the region’s capital of Porto Alegre. At least 78 people are dead and more than 115,000 have been forced to evacuate. One climatologist calledthe catastrophe “a disastrous cocktail” of climate change and the El Niño effect. “It looks like a scene out of a war,” said Rio Grande do Sul governor Eduardo Leite. 

Chile’s fires – Fires in Chile’s Valparaiso region, fueled by an intense heat wave and enduring drought, have killed at least 51 people and burned more than 64,000 acres.

Kenya’s deluge – Flooding and landslides in Kenya from unrelenting rainfall have killed more than 200 people. It is still raining and the weather is forecast to worsen throughout the month of May.

Southeast Asia’s heat wave – A lengthy heat wave has shattered temperature records across Southeast Asia, forcing many schools to close. One weather historian called the heat wave “the most extreme event in world climatic history.” 

From the Associated Press (AP):

A weekend spring storm that drenched the San Francisco Bay area and closed Northern California mountain highways also set a single-day snowfall record for the season on Sunday (May 5) in the Sierra Nevada. The wet weather system had mostly moved out of the state by Sunday morning, but officials warned that roads would remain slick after around two feet (60 centimeters) of snow fell in some areas of the Sierra. “Did anyone have the snowiest day of the 2023/2024 season being in May on their winter bingo card?” the University of California, Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab asked on the social platform X. The 26.4 inches (67 centimeters) of snowfall on Sunday beat the second snowiest day of the season — March 3rd — by 2.6 inches (6.6 centimeters), according to the lab.

From Yale Climate Connections:

For the first time since the 2010s, a high-risk outlook for severe weather (level 5 of 5) has been issued for parts of the Great Plains. The outlook was put in place at 8 a.m. EDT Monday, May 6, and updated at 12:30 p.m. EDT Monday by the NOAA/National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center, as a busy few days of severe weather moved into high gear. Dozens of tornadoes could erupt by midweek, including in and near Oklahoma on Monday and across a broad swath of the mid-Mississippi and lower Ohio River valleys on Wednesday. Many of the worst tornado U.S. outbreaks of recent years have played out across the Mississippi Valley and Southeast, but multiple rounds of twisters have hammered the Plains since late April, taking at least seven lives and wreaking what will no doubt be hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.

From Wikipedia:

On 16 April 2024, heavy rains caused floods in the United Arab Emirates, affected cities of mainly Dubai and Sharjah, the northern Emirates, and different areas of the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. According to the National Center for Meteorology (United Arab Emirates) , this was the country's heaviest rainfall recorded in 75 years. The floods in the Emirates were a part of the greater Persian Gulf floods.

UK forecasters warn Storm Eowyn poses “danger to life”

A life-threatening warning has been issued for the UK ahead of Storm Eowyn on Thursday.

Winter Storm Eowyn is gaining strength, strengthened by an Arctic blast that has travelled across the US, and could cause power cuts and transport disruption across the UK later this week.

Winds are forecast to be strong enough to cause structural damage and bring down branches and power lines, and are expected to disrupt transport on roads, trains and ferries. National Rail is already warning of possible disruption over the weekend.

Ireland braces for Eowyn

Ireland is preparing for the imminent arrival of Storm Eowyn, which meteorologists predict could be one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the country. The storm is expected to make landfall soon, bringing extreme weather conditions including winds of up to 140 kilometres per hour, heavy rainfall and possible flooding.

Met Éireann has issued several weather warnings, including a yellow warning status for all coastal areas, which will change to an orange warning status as the storm intensifies. The storm is expected to cause widespread damage, particularly in the south-west, west and central parts of the country.

Cathal Nolan of the Irish Meteorological Channel said the storm is undergoing rapid cyclogenesis into a life-threatening event with hurricane-force winds expected in coastal areas. Gusts could exceed 200 kilometres per hour in some locations, posing significant risks for structural damage, power outages and transport disruptions.

As the storm approaches, residents are advised to take precautions, including protecting their property and avoiding unnecessary travel. The combination of strong winds and heavy precipitation could lead to hazardous conditions, including blizzard-like scenarios in high areas.

In addition to the storm warnings, a yellow fog warning remains in effect for 21 counties, further complicating travel and visibility as the nation prepares for the storm.

Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as the storm develops. Residents are advised to stay informed through official channels and follow all safety recommendations.

Brazil: Adverse weather forecast across southeastern regions through at least Jan. 28

Heavy rainfall forecast over southeastern Brazil through at least Jan. 28. Flooding, landslides, and transport disruptions possible.

Heavy rainfall is forecast across parts of southeastern Brazil through at least Jan. 28. Some coastal parts of the region may receive rainfall accumulations of more than 30 cm (12 inches) through Jan. 28. Thunderstorms and strong winds may accompany the heavy downpours. Sustained heavy rainfall could trigger flooding in low-lying areas and landslides on unstable slopes. Transport disruptions and power outages are also possible in affected areas.

As of early Jan. 25, Brazil's National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) has issued red (the highest level on a three-tier scale) heavy rainfall warnings for coastal areas of Parana, northern Santa Catarina, and Sao Paulo. Orange heavy rainfall warnings are in place for a slightly wider area along the coasts of Parana, Santa Catarina. and central and southern Sao Paulo. Yellow warnings have been issued across much of the rest of the affected area. Officials could update and possibly extend the coverage of the relevant weather alerts over the coming days.

Sustained heavy rainfall could trigger flooding in low-lying communities near rivers, streams, and creeks. In developed areas with easily overwhelmed stormwater drainage systems, additional urban flooding is also possible. Sites downstream from large reservoirs or rivers may be subject to flash flooding after relatively short periods of intense rainfall. Landslides remain possible in hilly or mountainous areas, especially where heavy rainfall has saturated the soil. Power outages and disruptions to telecommunications services are likely where significant flooding, landslides, or strong winds impact utility networks.

🌸 2025 Cherry Blossom Forecast 🌸

The Japan Meteorological Corporation has just released its first Sakura forecast of 2025!

While we’re still in the middle of January, it’s exciting to see that cherry blossoms are already on the horizon.

Here’s the forecast for when the blossoms are expected to open across Japan:

• Fukuoka (福岡): March 22

• Osaka (大阪): March 27

• Nagoya (名古屋): March 24

• Tokyo (東京): March 24

• Sendai (仙台): April 7

• Sapporo (札幌): April 30

As usual, the flowers will bloom earlier in the warmer southern regions and later in the cooler northern areas like Hokkaido.

This year’s forecast suggests that cherry blossoms will bloom around the same time as they have in recent years.

However, keep in mind that it’s still early in the year, and changes in the weather could impact the timing.

Last year, for example, cooler temperatures in early spring caused the blossoms to open later than expected.

Stay tuned for updates, and start planning your hanami (flower viewing) outings! 🌸

Market sizing

Meet Jhonnery. He and his father are hardworking farmers from Barangay Impasug-ong, Bukidnon, who grow tomatoes, eggplants, and other crops and they also raise some chicken. Jhonnery, like many farmers, relies on his phone, radio, and television for weather updates, but these sources frequently provide general forecasts that may not accurately reflect the real weather conditions on his farm.

Without precise knowledge, Jhonnery confronts issues such as overwatering his crops, delayed planting, and even harvest loss due to unforeseen weather events. AgriWeather provides a bespoke solution with hyper-localized weather forecasts and actionable analytics, allowing farmers like him to make informed decisions and farm confidently.

These are the questions that i asked him:

Which services or technologies do you currently use for weather monitoring? What aspects of these technologies appeal to you, and what drawbacks or restrictions have you encountered?

How can you plan and oversee important farming tasks like planting, watering, and harvesting with the help of these meteorological tools? Have you run into any issues or errors with these tools that have affected your farm operations or crop yield?

Realizations/Insights from the Interview:
