2026 US Winter Storm Seen from Space – Stunning Satellite Timelapse Using QGIS Watch the 2026 U.S. Winter Storm unfold from space in this stunning satellite timelapse created with just a few clicks using the QGIS Timelapse Plugin. In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you how to visualize powerful weather events using NOAA’s GOES-18 satellite imagery inside QGIS, without needing to code. Perfect for geospatial analysts, educators, or curious weather enthusiasts!

@Vivian25879573 @MatthewCappucci Yes, the typhoon made landfall in southeastern China after hitting the Philippines.

@dim_herrera @MatthewCappucci Is this the storm that became so powerful that it pulled west and landfall in china unexpectedly?

Do you see all that purple? That corresponds to incredibly cold cloud tops around minus-80 degrees Celsius (minus-112 degrees Fahrenheit). Clouds have to be about 52,000 feet tall (or greater) to be that cold. The fact that Melissa has such a tall, cold CDO, or Central Dense Overcast, is an indicator of its extreme strength. Truth be told, this looks like a satellite image of the strongest typhoons in the western Pacific – not really something we typically see in the Atlantic. Melissa is a rare, rare storm.

Vean nada más esta belleza de pastel por mi cumpleaños! 😍🌀

Have you ever wondered how NHC determines how strong a tropical cyclone is? In this video, NHC meteorologist Elizabeth Adams explains the Dvorak Technique, which NHC uses extensively to help estimate a tropical cyclone's intensity.

@davidasinclair This is one of my favorite songs from @alphaville_band! "It's so hard to get old without a cause..."

The song peaked at #65 in the U.S. in 1985 but today it’s become an anthem, with 500 million streams on Spotify & 200M+ views on YouTube 👏 youtu.be/oNjQXmoxiQ8

Let’s just die young Or let’s just live forever We don’t have the power But we never say never - Forever Young, Alphaville (1984)

Yo no he dejado de sentirme contento por este artículo. Porque lo han escrito resaltando la esencia de mi hermano, su interés por las ciencias, su desborde por entregar enseñanza práctica, a pesar de todo. Mi agradecimiento a Yaniris López del @ListinDiario por haber realizado una entrevista que sin dudas @geografiard pudo disfrutar: lejos de afanes mercuriales, y apegada a la vocación del maestro. listindiario.com/la-vida/vida-v…

Congratulations, @giswqs! A well-deserved award. The workshop series was fantastic!

Pretty easy to see where the area of high pressure is located by looking at the visible satellite. It's currently located across southern Mississippi, which puts us on the drier and hotter side of it. Heat Advisories are in place again tomorrow. #FLwx #GAwx #ALwx

A dangerous heat wave is set to impact over 20 million people across the Southeast & TN Valley this weekend, with highs in the 90s-100s and heat indices surpassing 110°F. Relief expected by early Aug. Stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities, and check on vulnerable individuals.
