Giant storm may eat our next warm air plume



These giant plumes are keeping us warm right now.  This map shows 'precipitable air', which is warm, moist air.  All our weather comes from these things.  Without them, we have dull default air, which right now in Toronto is somewhat cold.

But these plumes, generated like clockwork in the West Pacific have been keeping us to above freezing, and giving us one-day-wonders of 10c.  They suck up more warm air from the Gulf of Mexico and go to warm up the UK.

But, look, something is happening in Volcano Paradise.


A giant storm is coming to eat up Mr Plume-Generator.  Will he survive?  All of us may now have a January without warm plumes.  Fly your Christmas drones before it gets to 30 below.  :)
