Smoky weather in North America

Satellite view of northern America. Showing huge areas with smoke from wildfires

The first tropical depression of 2025 has formed in the eastern Pacific: Tropical Depression One-E. It may become Tropical Storm Alvin soon, but is expected to weaken before approaching Mexico.

@paul_ward_irl OK, "Britain and Ireland" if you prefer.

A rare view of clear skies over Britain and Ireland. Wildfire smoke can be seen in Northern Ireland, Wales, and southern Scotland, while Saharan dust drifts high over western Ireland.

The moon’s shadow is moving across the North Atlantic during today’s partial solar eclipse 🌙

Here is a stunning image taken today by EUMETSAT's Meteosat-12 satellite. It shows the day-night boundary over West Africa running vertical from pole to pole, since it is Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere today.

Meteosat-12 is located in geostationary orbit at longitude 0.3W.

Today at 10:01 CET, the Sun appeared directly above Earth’s equator, marking the Spring Equinox! 🌸

The equinox in the northern hemisphere happens twice a year, around the 20 March (spring equinox) and the 22 September (autumn equinox). At this moment, our planet is neither tilted towards nor away from the Sun, creating nearly equal day/night. 🌓

This stunning Meteosat-12 image taken earlier this morning showcases the boundary between day and night running straight through the poles.

A non-tropical low has been tagged by the NHC in the central Atlantic, but development is unlikely as it will move into an area of strong upper-level winds and dry air tonight into Tuesday.

A massive dust storm is currently sweeping across the southern Great Plains of the United States. Extreme winds are driving wildfires and setting the stage for a major tornado outbreak.

An oil tanker and cargo ship collided off the #UK coast near #Hull, causing a fire. A major rescue operation is underway involving lifeboats and helicopters.

Satellite imagery shows smoke rising above the clouds after an oil tanker collides with a cargo ship in the North Sea, off the coast of East Yorkshire in the United Kingdom.

Severe Tropical Storm #Jude has formed near Madagascar. Jude will likely continue to intensify before making landfall over #Mozambique near Nacala.

Since the capture time of the image wasn't published, I tried matching the Earth terminator and cloud patterns.
This area above the pacific ocean seems like a good match.
The approximate capture is Mar 7, 2:00 UTC. #IM2

Note that we are seeing the Earth "upside down" here and the North pole is slightly tilted towards us.

comparison of the Earth as captured by the IM-2 lander and a simulated version using Suomi NPP/VIIRS data from NASA Worldview.
The could patterns are hard to make out in the real photo, but seem to match.

Another one bites the (Moon)dust!

This is Intuitive Machines' #IM2 lander that once again toppled over after trying to land on Mons Mouton near the lunar south pole.

The picture had lots of detail hidden in the shadows which I brought out in processing.

Fisheye picture from the lunar surface taken by a camera attached to the top of the IM2 lander. The lander has fallen over on it's side and the legs point towards the small half lit earth in the far distance.
The crater partially lies in the shade, which covers most of the foreground. A small hill is visible on the horizon.

Tropical Cyclone #Alfred edges closer to landfall over #Brisbane. Latest satellite + radar:

Rain detected by radar + latest wind model for Tropical Cyclone #Alfred:

Latest forecast track for Tropical Cyclone #Alfred can be seen here: https://zoom.earth/storms/alfred-2025/

The center of #TCAlfred is now located around 150 km offshore from Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

The cyclone’s swirling outer rain bands extend as far as Newcastle to the south. Landfall is still expected near #Brisbane from late Friday into early Saturday.

#TCAlfred is slowly approaching #Brisbane, Australia, but moving somewhat erratically due to weak steering winds.

Alfred’s slow pace increases the risk of flooding as it nears landfall late Friday or early Saturday, most likely between Noosa and Coolangatta.
