My Unofficial 2025 Hurricane Season 🌀 🟢 15-17 Named Storms 🔵 8-10 Hurricanes 🔴 3-5 Major Hurricanes 🟡 ACE: 140-170 This year, I'm calling a slightly above average season due to neutral ENSO conditions. The Atlantic will still be favorable for tropical development.

BIG NEWS!!! I’m Partnering with WeatherFront x Arby’s to bring you the next generation of storm chasing. High-res radar, precise data, and even precise Arby’s locations for storm chaser refueling. This is going to be incredibly meaty. We have the storms, they have the meats!

I have decided to join Weather BACK. It’s like front but back. Way better. Not to be confused with Weather LEFT or Weather RIGHT. Thank you.

Super Typhoon #Sinlaku continues it's trek towards the Mariana Islands as a powerful category 5. #Guam looks to miss the worst impacts but #Saipan might get a direct hit on Tuesday.

#Sinlaku is hitting peak intensity sitting at 180 mph and 896 mb. One of the strongest spring time cyclones on record.

Super Typhoon #Sinlaku is officially at Category 5 intensity with winds of 170 mph and pressure of 902 mb. I can see Sinlaku getting a bit stronger before internal structural changes begin to take affect. Thank you JTWC for giving Sinlaku it's proper intensity.

#Sinlaku has a good chance of going into the history books if the Joint Typhoon Warning Central doesn't lowball it's intensity.

Super Typhoon #Sinlaku 😲😲 this is why the Western Pacific is the undisputed king of the tropics. This will hit Category 5 at some point. The Mariana Islands, Guam and Saipan need to brace themselves.

And just like that with Typhoon #Sinlaku

#Sinlaku is about to become a monster in the next 24 hours

This is classic text book look on a future Super Typhoon 👀 #Sinlaku could become the second Category 5 of 2026 after Cyclone Horacio back in February in the SW Indian Ocean. Guam and the Mariana Islands needs to watch Sinlaku very closely.

I heard Cyclone #Maila is doing big things in the Solomon Sea 👀

“Imagine witnessing a launch like Artemis from your flight window 🚀 Would you record it or just watch?”

BREAKING - Passengers on an American flight from Atlanta to Puerto Rico captured one of the closest videos of the Artemis II launch from their plane, and it’s going massively viral, with some commenters expressing concern about how close the plane was to the rocket.

I'm collecting predictions for 2026 Atlantic hurricane season. Please, give the predicted amounts of -nameable storms -hurricanes -major hurricanes as a reply to this tweet. Deadline to give or change predictions is May 31, 2026 at 23:59 UTC.

We desperately need rain 🙏🙏

Folks have very strong reactions to being in a strong hurricane. And this drives them to make quantitative estimates that have no rational basis. I've seen survivors of LAURA, IDA, and IAN (all Cat 4s at landfall) *swear* they were in a Cat 5 because they "saw" Cat-5 winds. (I've been in 84 hurricanes and even I don't feel qualified to visually estimate wind speed.) And even when a storm is rated Cat 5 and the strongest landfall on record (!!), that won't satisfy everyone. For example, today a MELISSA survivor disagreed with the NHC analysis because she "saw zinc, trees and houses flying [at] way more than 300 kph [~185 mph]." It seems a storm's categorization—no matter how superlative—will always leave some survivors feeling dissatisfied, probably because a simple number, categorization, or scale rating can't do justice to their trauma. It's an interesting psychological phenomenon that I see again and after these big events.

@PlaysSaheb Not but it decreases chances of strong hurricanes and landfall if conditions are too hostile

@That_WeatherGuy +ENSO does not eliminate Atlantic hurricane season or landfall

Hurricane Melissa got upgraded to 190 mph from post hurricane analysis. This makes me her the strongest hurricane alongside side with Allen(1980) in terms of wind in the Atlantic Basin. 😬😬 Hopefully El Nino goes into full gear during the heart of this season 🙏

@Peaches2456 We gotta move Florida away this year 😭

I gotta say, this Nor'Easter is pretty incredible on satellite. Basically a Category 2 hurricane in terms of pressure in the 960s mb. Over 2 feet of snow along the coast 😬😬 #blizzard2026
