Storm Lilian was named by the UK Met Office, which anticipates challenging conditions in England, Scotland and Wales.
It follows Storm Kathleen, which struck in April. The arrival at the 12th named storm in the season which runs from September to September marks the furthest through the list of names the western European storm naming group has got since the system’s introduction in 2015.

DJ, Remnants of Ernesto mixed up with a depression west of Ireland creating a new storm expected to move towards Norway...(there may be a growing risk hurricanes go in circles-from Africa to the US and then via the Canada coast back to NW Europe...some of them may end up near West Africa and go for a second round ?)

DJ, Just like in wars, pandemics also in climate the dominant "strategy" is to buy time, kick the can down the road...

Creative statistics going for a "fitting" baseline for pre-industrial can keep the lie alive of "being under 1,5C+" while since 1700-1750 pre-industrial base line we may be 2,75C+....

In Excess Deaths statistics "re-define" "Excess" and -in statistics- there are no excess deaths...Even with both pandemics and heat waves resulting in much higher deaths...

Self-amplifying feedbacks and crossing of tipping points, as well as further developments (such a as loss of the aerosol masking effect and sunspots reaching a peak) could all contribute to cause a temperature rise from pre-industrial of over 10°C, in the process causing the clouds tipping point to get crossed that can push up the temperature rise by a further 8°C.

Altogether, the temperature rise may exceed 18°C from pre-industrial by 2026, as illustrated by the image on the right.

DJ, CoViD, H5N1, Mpox may be very widespread both in human and non-human hosts...Diseases flying across the globe for free...

The disasters may be that large all "politics" can think of is war as distraction...
