Meteorologists expect a Category 1-2 hurricane. However, #Hurricane #Isaias may surprise. Isaias was formed not as a typical tropical storm but was birthed by a "cold drop" or an upper-level cutoff low, an estranged fragment of the polar jet stream, the same way as the recent nor'easter along the US East Coast or storm Dana in Spain. In all the cases, the contrast between cold and hot played its role as a characteristic of this time of the year.
Being independent from the jet stream, the “cold drop” stalled over the hot Bay of Campeche for days, acting as the upper-level atmospheric "pump" or engine, generating the vacuum effect, forcing air underneath it to rise rapidly and create a surface low system, which later grew into a tropical storm/hurricane due to extremely warm water, reaching 31C/88F, turning from a depression
The "cold drop" or Arctic-cold upper-level cutoff low not only gave birth to Isaias but also created a protective shield for about 24-36 hours from El Niño high shear, which until now had prevented hurricane formation in the Atlantic. Hurricane Isaias is the first hurricane in the Gulf since the tragic 2024 season of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. The hurricane Isaias in some way imitates Hurricane Milton, being formed exactly in the same place and rapidly intensified later, benefiting of its position in the Gulf corner, naturally creating ideal conditions necessary for storm formation rotation. It is probable that both hurricanes were artificially engineered, as it followed from some political statements in 2024, suggesting it.
The artificial nature of a nor’easter kind of storm turned into a hurricane prove his small size and lopsided structure. The strong core due to a thunderstorm could also be strengthened using the Russian high-voltage thunderstorm generators, which they use to generate supercell tornadoes. The fact that the main intensification from a storm to a hurricane had happened during the night, when monitoring is impossible, supports it. After creating the momentum, the hurricane can develop on its own. The process I already described in my previous posts.
The extent of Isaias intensification depends on the water temperature in the Gulf. While the surface water is warm due to solar radiation, the deeper layers, necessary for a hurricane’s rapid intensification, reached record cold during the last year. One of the factors was the US military presence in the Caribbean, which became a kind of deterrent for the Russian operations after the exposure of the Russians planting their nuclear micro reactors around the US, including the Gulf, creating the infrastructure for the Russian weather and climate warfare.
After the US military focus shifted to the war with Iran, Putin lured Trump, which the Russians saw as an opening to the Russian operations in the Gulf and the Caribbean. However, after the Russian submarine efforts for nuclear micro reactors deployment were exposed in 2024, they moved to air deployment, disguised as fireballs falling. The number of fireballs flying around the Gulf during the last few years proves it. Now the Gulf is stuffed with nuclear micro-reactors, which let the Russians heat the Gulf waters in depth, which is necessary for a strong hurricane.
The grade of Isaias’ rapid intensification as well as its path could be "breadcrumbed" by the Russian nuclear micro-reactors, which are undetectable when switched off. However, the main driver for the Hurricane path is the jet stream, which the Russians learned to manipulate, coordinating the jet stream steering trajectory with deciding which of the micro-nuclear reactors to use.
Another factor that assures the extra high temperature of the water in the Gulf is the slowdown of #GulfStream by 20 percent, which means that at least 20 percent of the overall heat, produced by solar radiation and coming from the #Atlantic via the Caribbean, remains inside the Gulf, turning it into a hot pool. Slowing the Gulf Stream as part of the AMOC is part of the Russian #climate #warfare.
Combined with the deep heat pointedly added by the nuclear micro-reactors makes the rapid intensification explosive, close to what is known as a bomb cyclone. The bomb like nature is a precondition for the hurricane to be able to break through the El Niño wind shear, which, as a wall, protects the Gulf coastline from the landfall. To overpower the wall of El Niño wind shear a super hot water is necessary.
Without the use of nuclear micro-reactors, which heat not only surface water as the sun and the Atlantic currents do, but the water in depth, which should assure the capability of the hurricane to break through the wall and make a catastrophic landfall.
Following the Russian logic, Hurricane Isaias should reach New York and the Northeast in any form, as a strategically important region, which the Russians usually prioritize as their prime target. In any form, be it a flood, downpours of supercell tornadoes. It is logical to expect that the Russians will employ all their arsenal to prolong the Isaias impact, and first of all, Lake Erie as a heat and moisture producing pool, also stuffed with the Russian nuclear micro-reactors.
To summarize, the Russians use two main extreme weather drivers - jet stream manipulation, which creates a lot of additional energy in the atmosphere by colliding the cold Arctic air with the warm moisture of the Gulf. Water heating provides additional energy, turning a hurricane into a weapon.
For Putin, all the endeavor is both a kind of sport - to see if a hot water and weaponized jet stream can overpower the natural barrier for the hurricane in the Atlantic during the El Niño season and a military exercise, with the potential to use the obtained results during a more favorable hurricane season (without El Niño) to achieve the most possible devastation. Also, this is a kind of amusement that supplies Putin with a sense of superiority over the world and world leaders.
To divert attention from his weather and climate operations, Putin usually employs threats of using nuclear weapons. However, in the context of being exposed in both, attempts to employ weather/climate weapons and biological warfare make the threats a sign of desperation, not only an attention diversion.
Being exposed, Russia loses the support of even the most devoted Putinites, not only in the West but also around the world, who suffer the consequences of the Russian climate war. Even if the world still doesn’t realize this, Putin is well aware of what he is doing, which creates his panic.
