The following is a list of weather events in 2019. Global conditions 2019 was Earth's second-warmest year on record, which goes back to 1880. It was the 43rd consecutive year of above-average temperatures. The year was 0.95 °C (1.71 °F) above the 20th century average, and 0.07 °C (0.04 °F) behind 2016, which was the warmest year on record. 2019 fell to the third-warmest year on record when the following year surpassed it. In 2019, Australia and the U.S. state of Alaska recorded their warmest years on record. There is a previous El Niño episode continuing from last year, and new El Niño episode started this year, lasting until 2020. Summary by weather type Winter storms and cold waves From January 16 to 19, a winter storm crosses the United States, killing ten.

Weather Of 2020
The following is a list of weather events that occurred on Earth in the year 2020. Global conditions As 2020 began, sea surface temperatures were above normal in the eastern Pacific Ocean near the equator, which had the potential to develop into El Niño conditions. On January 9, a group of climate scientists writing for ENSO Blog published their forecast for atmospheric conditions. They believed that there was a 60% chance that the environment would remain in neutral conditions related to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO); this was based on the expectation that the above normal water temperatures would return to normal. By March, there was little evidence of increased rainfall near the equator. Trade winds were enhanced in the central and tropical Pacific Ocean, and water temperatures remained above normal. On April 9, ENSO Blog reaffirmed their belief that environmental conditions would remain neutral. However, the sea surface temperatures near the equato ...

2019–20 North American Winter
The 2019–20 North American winter was unusually warm for many parts of the United States; in many areas, neutral ENSO conditions controlled the weather patterns, resulting in strong El Niño like conditions and the sixth-warmest winter on record, and many areas in the Northeastern United States saw one of the least snowy winters in years. In fact, Baltimore and Islip, New York, Islip saw no snow in February for the first time. Some notable events still occurred, such as a November 26 – December 3, 2019 North American blizzard, powerful blizzard that impacted the Western United States in late November, a series of cold shots in January and February, #Early February winter storm, a snowstorm within the Texas Panhandle and a #Mid-March blizzard, late-season blizzard in the High Plains. While there is no well-agreed-upon date used to indicate the start of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, there are two definitions of winter which may be used. Based on the astronomical definitio ...

2019 Havana Tornado
During the evening hours of January 27, 2019, at 20:20 UTC−05:00, CST, an unusually violent and destructive tornado ripped through the Cuban capital Havana. The Enhanced Fujita scale, EF4 tornado toppled trees and utility poles, destroyed cars and sent debris flying as it passed through the city. According to the Cuban Institute of Meteorology, the tornado was produced by a cold front that struck the nation's north coast, but "there were no indications of the anticipated existence of any cloud that fulfilled the characteristics of a classic supercell, nor a minisupercell, and that would explain the development of the intense tornado". At least eight people died and more than 190 were injured. Background Tornadoes in Cuba are not a rare occurrence as the island nation has been struck before in its history; the first tornado ever filmed was located in Cuba in 1933. Many of Cuba's tornadoes have intensity ratings of FU/EFU to F2/EF2 on the Fujita scale. However, five F3/EF3 and fou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ross River Dam
The Ross River Dam is a rock and earthfill-filled embankment dam across the Ross River, located between Kelso and Mount Stuart in the City of Townsville in northern Queensland, Australia. Built initially for flood control, Lake Ross, the impoundment created by the dam, serves as one of the major potable water supplies for the region. The dam reached 250% capacity in February 2019 as a result of mass rainfall and flooding in the area. Location and features The dam was constructed by Leighton Contractors in 1971 for the purposes of flood mitigation and water storage. The dam was an attempt to address Townsville's dual water concerns--abundance and scarcity--and added to the city's long history of attempting to tame the natural environment. In the 1980s, the second stage of the dam necessitated a deviation of the Flinders Highway and Mount Isa railway line (which previously ran straight north-south) to be further east. This was completed by 1986 and resulted in the closure ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tropical Low 13U
The tropics are the regions of Earth surrounding the equator, where the sun may shine directly overhead. This contrasts with the temperate or polar regions of Earth, where the Sun can never be directly overhead. This is because of Earth's axial tilt; the width of the tropics (in latitude) is twice the tilt. The tropics are also referred to as the tropical zone and the torrid zone (see geographical zone). Due to the overhead sun, the tropics receive the most solar energy over the course of the year, and consequently have the highest temperatures on the planet. Even when not directly overhead, the sun is still close to overhead throughout the year, therefore the tropics also have the lowest seasonal variation on the planet; "winter" and "summer" lose their temperature contrast. Instead, seasons are more commonly divided by precipitation variations than by temperature variations. The tropics maintain wide diversity of local climates, such as rain forests, monsoons, savannahs, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
