WORLD WEATHER
- Trami is now a typhoon in the Western Pacific destined to skim northern Taiwan and make landfall in China around Fuzhou.
- Tropical Storm Pewa in the Western Pacific is meandering in no man's land.
- There is development in the Eastern Pacific with two tropical waves closeby. Perhaps a Fujiwhara interaction between the two as shown on the GFS? We can only hope and watch, can we? Especially since the Atlantic is quiet...
- Coastal low near the coast of the United Kingdom is bringing clouds and shower chances for the region. Isolated showers and storms in Eastern Europe otherwise dry.

SPACE WEATHER
- The CME from last weekend has indeed glanced the Earth sparking a minor geomagnetic storm with the Kp-index rising to 4.
- A filament erupted from the Sun yesterday morning and another CME is hurled at Earth's direction. Like last time, it is not direct. Regardless, any impacts should arrive in two days from now.
- Solar activity is low but new Sunspot 1827 is capable of producing future solar flares.
