2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather

[Ralph Baer]

The season starts on Monday. I might as well start a thread even though nothing seems imminent.

Thread '2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather'

May 25, 2025

The season starts in a week. I might as well post this now when I think of it.

Has anyone seen any predictions for this year, not that they usually seem to be accurate?

No major hurricanes during the Civil War.

No major hurricanes during he Civil War.

Uh...yeah. Reporting by the hurricane-prone states may have been a little suss during that period.

Makes sense.

Americans wondering why Pakistanis are panicking over 50° heat when they look at their thermometer and see it's 80°.

Heh. Somehow reminds me of the time my parents were hiking in the Lake District in the UK, which is about as far north as you can go in England without crossing into Scotland. The local press there was all in a tizzy over the heat wave that was hitting the area and how many residents were being hospitalized. It was 75° - F. But the heat strokes and hospitalizations were real - it's a matter of what you're used to.

I managed to cool my living room in seconds. It was an unbearable 82 but with just the press of a button it was a much more comfortable 28. I may have to put on a sweater.

This past winter, I read an article where Macau issued a state of emergency because the overnight temperatures were going to get down to 50F.

Motherfucker is it really 50?

That's impressive to me now, and I have unfortunately grown very hard to impress.

Something to look back and forward to.

51.5 in Dadu. A new record.

It's 31.7 (89) right now. Feels like 35 (95).

Of course, it's also the middle of the night...

But it's a dry heat! Oh...humidity is 83%....

There is a low-pressure area near the Texas-Mexico border with a 20% chance of becomiing a tropical storm in 2-7 days. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.shtml?atl

Still hoping for DC.

It is expected to become a TS. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at1+shtml/161456.shtml?cone#contents
