Finally Hurricane Helene. Rainy weather set the stage for the historic flood in eastern parts of Tennessee, with record crests on several streams & rivers. A long road to recovery is now underway & our hearts are with all affected. TN Climate Office story: tinyurl.com/3mm9zcx3
The Dominican Republic from the air, showing the highest peaks in the Caribbean, Pico Duarte, La Pelona, and La Rucilla, with over 3,000 meters (~9,843 feet) AMSL.
Drought conditions were ameliorated in the southeastern US by Helene. Drought area reduced from ~54% to 20% in less than a week. We have analyzed the role of TCs in modulating drought variations in the trop. Americas here: researchsquare.com/article/r…
Nearly 8 percent of the global land area experienced extreme drought in 2023—a new record.
Drought and heat waves contributed to massive wildfires around the globe, including in Canada, Australia, and Greece.

Fun fact! 🌊 'Starry Night over the Rhône', painted during the dry summer of 1888, reveals Van Gogh’s attention to detail. A letter sketch he made of the subject depicts more sand than water. In the painting, he probably wanted to show more of the reflections of the lanterns.
