Unheard of: Three Class 4 typhoons trailing each other in the Pacific. And look where the water vapor trail of Ignacio is headed. California?

A continuous equatorial band of cyclones

The downside to more rain is that it will once again fill that politically made abomination known as Lake Powell and again re-bury some of the most unique geography and destroyed eco-systems in the entire world.

That's a really amazing picture of Jupiter Rick.

It's hard to imagine that the "Big Red Spot" is just a passing dust devil that's lasted throughout the time that we can see beyond our noses.

The time scales of the universe are so vast, that we're very lucky to find ourselves in the tiny sliver of history where we can know so much ... and even fly!!

Hi, my name is Ivo, and I love the wind! I am an addicted kiter, helicopter and jet pilot, who seeks the wind, waves, METARs and powder snow almost constantly. Since programming is my passion I coded Windyty.com as my pet project. Windyty.com is strictly non-commercial project. GFS forecast model, produced by NOAA, is the major source of weather data. Forecast data are updated four times a day and in detailed zoom I use 13x13km grid forecast. Beautiful forecasts for location detail are produced by Meteoblue.com and are based on NMM, NEMS or GFS mathematical models with different resolution (up to 3x3km), based on location

Strongest storm in recorded history. 878 mb. Gusts to 245 mph. Unbelievable.
