Smoke plumes and heat signatures in the Aegean region seen by Meteosat-12 today. In Greece the Xironomi (2 plumes in this area) and to the south the Flokas and Fichti wildfires while in Türkiye the most prominent is the Çine wildfire
Dawn this morning over Aegean Sea/east Mediterranean seen by Meteosat-12 shows smoke from Crete and Türkiye fires reaching north African coast in strong northerly wind surge. A newer smoke plume off Türkiye to east is from the Alanya Wildfire (Yesterday evening's update here: youtu.be/cfibAvubkfI)
Several wildfires are growing rapidly this afternoon in western Türkiye and on Crete as a dangerous northerly wind surge builds in the Aegean Sea that looks to last for a several days. Two here in SW Türkiye were seen this afternoon by Aqua MODIS.
Not a super typhoon officially yet but #Dolphin already looks like a beast as it rapidly intensifies, could it become the strongest on Earth so far in 2026? It has this guy to beat➡️ https://youtu.be/b01mqIPyYF4#TyphoonDolphin
The Meteosat-12 imagery just in from dawn this morning shows the smoke from the Gironde and Biscarrosse wildfires has moved inland and covers SW France. Heat signatures are partially obscured by cloud and smoke but give and indication of the shift in fire direction to be directed inland towards communities in the west and southwest outskirts of Bordeaux. 220,000 evacuated according to BBC.
Extremely powerful Super Typhoon #Bavi forecast track has landfall on #Rota in a few hours with devastating 1-minute sustained winds of 155 knots (180 mph). The island is no stranger to Typhoons but this could be up there with the worst it has ever experienced. #TyphoonBavi
Sunset today (5 July) over the distinct eye of Super #Typhoon#Bavi approaching the western edge of the GOES-West view. Forecast to move through Marianas between Tinian and Rota with 150 knot 1 min sustained winds in about 12 hours. Uses images from CSPP Geosphere #TyphoonBavi#Supertyphoon
Rapid intensification of Typhoon #Bavi from 55 knots at 1200 UTC 2 July (corrected) (satellite loop start) to likely over 100 knots currently. Forecast to track through the northern Marianas near Rota and Tinian as a #Supertyphoon early on 6 July. #TyphoonBavi
There has been a widespread demolition of the all time UK June temperature record over the last 2 days, but Merryfield appears to hold the new record for the moment at 36.7 C, that's 1.1 C above the hottest ever June day before yesterday. A similar thing happened last month where 2 days in succession in late May broke the all time UK May temperature record multiple times.
Will the all time UK June temperature record of 35.6 C be broken today? The Met Office model says yes with Thu and Fri also surpassing that record. This follows last month the breaking of the all time May temp record. Likely back to back all time UK monthly records broken! #heatwave#ukweather
