Currently en Puerto Rico — 3 de octubre 2023: Phillipe pasará a 200 millas de distancia hoy

Lluvias impulsadas por la distante tormenta Phillipe
Estelas de humedad que pudieran asociarse con bandas externas de la tormenta tropical Phillipe seguirán generando episodios de lluvia sobre Puerto Rico esta semana. Phillipe, cuyo comportamiento sigue errático, podría acercarse a una distancia de poco más de 200 millas de la isla el martes. Debido a que sus efectos sobre el área local seguirán siendo indirectos, periodos de sol estarán presentes a diario. Pero las lluvias terminarán afectando a la mayoría de la isla entre martes y miércoles. Aún en presencia de mayor actividad de aguaceros, la sensación térmica sigue en 110° F para partes de Puerto Rico durante el mediodía y la tarde, por lo cual se pide extrema cautela para aquellos más vulnerables al calor.

What you need to know, currently.
New data show that the last week of September was the most anomalously warm week in history. That’s not so surprising given that we’re going into what looks like a very strong El Niño — the tropical Pacific warmth that defines these linked ocean-atmosphere patterns typically starts spreading worldwide during the last four months of the year.
Here’s more, from CarbonBrief:
Global surface temperatures set a new record this week for the highest daily temperature anomalies (departure from the norm) ever observed. They were recorded by a Japanese climate database called the JRA-55 reanalysis product. These were approximately 1C warmer than the 1991-2020 baseline period used by the dataset and around 1.9C warmer than the pre-industrial (1850-1900) temperatures.
As Currently reported last week, these data add to the increasing likelihood that we may already be living in the first 12-month period that’s 1.5°C warmer than pre-industrial levels, and that a few upcoming weeks may top 2°C for the first time ever.
