That's a relief. #typhoons

Extreme weather last year including typhoons, heat waves and flooding led to the biggest displacement of people since 2008, and exacerbated a food crisis in more than a dozen countries, according to a report. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/03/19/climate-change/extreme-weather-2024-16-years/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #climatechange #drought #floods #typhoons #heatwaves

Four fossil-fueled typhoons struck the Philippines over 10 days this month. At #COP29, rich nations are agreeing to pledge only $300 billion a year by 2035 for climate disaster recovery, about 8% of annual fossil-fuel revenues. By 2035.
#climate #fossilfuels #philippines #typhoons

why don't we stop naming #storms, #hurricanes and #typhoons after people and start naming them after #oil companies.

"Storm #BP is bringing widespread damage and flooding to the West of England"

"Hurricane #Exxon is smashing into Florida and trying to demolish it, the bits that it can't blow over are underwater"

It has a certain ring to it.

We got #typhoons coming one after another and another and another. And they like to come or hang around on weekends. We got 1 today Sunday. I managed to do an hour of riding before the rain came. The strong winds started early, but the rain came later.

Most of my city isn't as terribly affected as other parts of the country. Flooding seems to be getting worse all over though. Drainage systems can't seem to handle the worsening rain dump. #weather #Philippines #ClimateChange

“The Japan Meteorological Agency reported that it was the first time since records began in 1951 that so many storms co-existed in the Pacific basin in November.”

While I wasn’t affected too much by recent storms / #typhoons (at worst it was just rainy weather), the incoming #ManYi / #PepitoPH is likely the closest to approach #Manila, #Philippines .

1. WESTERN NORTH PACIFIC AREA (180 TO MALAY PENINSULA):
A. TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY:

"One of the fiercest #typhoons to hit the area of Zhanjiang, Guangdong, #China, since 1949 was #SuperTyphoonCapricorn this month. In this wild weather, torrential winds and giant waves, what is the durability of floating solar panels?

Despite considerable damage, including power outages, caused throughout southern China by the sustained gusts, which reached speeds of up to 60 m/s and a maximum wind force of 17 at its core, floating solar PV was fine. "

The biggest typhoon in more than seven decades has hit Shanghai, bringing gale-force winds and heavy rain to the eastern seaboard and disrupting holidaymakers at the start of a days-long national festival. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/16/asia-pacific/shanghai-biggest-typhoon-since-1949/ #asiapacific #typhoons #china #shanghai

Typhoon Ampil is set to brush past eastern Japan on Friday as a “very strong” storm — on par with a Category 2 hurricane — threatening to bring damaging winds and torrential rain to a wide area. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/08/16/japan/typhoon-ampil-severe-storm/ #japan #typhoons #typhoonampil #meteorologicalagency #obon #tohoku #kanto #izuislands

Just weeks after a heatwave forced thousands of Filipino students home from sweltering classrooms, schools now face a new climate challenge as typhoon season approaches. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2024/06/12/climate-change/filipino-schools-climate-extremes/ #environment #climatechange #philippines #heatwaves #floods #typhoons #climatechange #children #southeastasia

Since we've had a host switch, and that Haley isn't around to claim this account is mostly hers, we should do another #introduction - Updated: 2024-04-23

We're The Weather System (Athena's Realm System), We're Trans fem, and we're an officially diagnosed autistic, bipolar and dissociative identity disorder system, we a collection of various leftist, and believe strongly in queer, and neurodiversity rights movements, we view plurality in general as neurodivergence

Our pronouns are Su/Sudo/Suselves, however She/Her/Herselves, and They/Them/Theirselves is acceptable

We believe all plural systems are valid, and self dx is also valid, we were lucky to be able to get diagnosed.

giving this is a complete rewritten introduction we might update it as we go

We are most likely to toot about #Medicine, with focus on #Genetics, #Epigenetics, #Bioinformatics, and #Neuroscience giving our focus back in uni was Genetics of Human Disease, and Neuroscience but we are likely to talk about a whole range of medical topics, besides medicine we are likely to toot about #meteorology and #geology, with specific interests in #SynopticMeteorology #TropicalCyclones / #Hurricanes / #Typhoons / #TropicalStorms, #ExtratropicalCyclones, #SubtropicalCyclones, and #Tornadoes, among other topic, and we may toot about #Geology, #Minerals, and #Vulcanology, and what ever else is on our mind, we collected #MyLittlePony and are a fan of every generation of MLP, and play #EliteDangerous

See attached thread for System Information, System Membership 58+

Our system name is subject to change, it was previously the Athena's Realm System, however only one member, arguably two members made that decision on behalf of the entire system, without consulting us, so we're in the process of trying out system names to see which fits us best, but for the time being we will display both "Athena's Realm" and the current trialing system name so it is less confusing for those who know us by our old system name

Parts of Japan have been deluged by their heaviest daily rains since records began, officials said Saturday, with reports of more than 100 landslides after a tropical storm. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/09/09/japan/japan-record-rain-storm/?utm_content=buffer5ea5e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #rain #storms #typhoons #chiba

For years, the platform formerly known as Twitter has been the most popular for Japan’s municipalities to use when sending out natural disaster warnings. That might not be the case anymore. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/japan/2023/08/09/society/japan-prefectures-x-diasaster-warnings/?utm_content=buffera606b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #society #twitter #x #socialmedia #typhoons #kumamoto #okinawa #kagoshima
