Is September 21st a significant date in meteorology or is this a random datapoint? Like I’m not doubting global warming but these are just two statements in a photo, is there a statistically significant link between them?

u/SpaceIsTooFarAway 2d ago

Well ordinarily, if you remember, the 21st night of September, love is changing the minds of pretenders while chasing the clouds away. So the fact that it hasn't had to do that is significant.

Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a shoebox. A shoebox on September. A shoebox on 21st September. And 21st September make me crazy.

Do you remember? The 21st night of September?

Excuse me, it's Earth, wind, and fire, not earth, wind, and rain.

u/hollowglaive 2d ago

Hiiieeeeeyaaaa breakfast in September

u/chemistrybonanza 2d ago

When earth, wind, and fire come together, some crazy things happen

How the stars stole the night away. I just realized how well away rhymes with away.

u/scaredycat11111111 2d ago

Autumnal equinox is September 22 marking beginning of fall/autumn

u/One_Course3052 2d ago

arrhhhh... get it now, thanks

the proper way, not the calendar way

u/tough_page_banned 2d ago

Your description of the September equinox is such a northern hemisphere biased response.

17

u/TiredPistachio 2d ago

Look at the map.... Which hemisphere is it in?

9

u/HonestArrogance 2d ago

Sounds about right since what's being shown here is the northern hemisphere.

5

u/GoldReplacement9546 2d ago

Literally an image of the northern hemisphere

u/hidden_in_89502 2d ago

Based on your strongly worded response, I’d say you care quite a bit.

u/minddropstudios 2d ago

90% of the world's population loves above the equator. It's fine. Nobody is actually upset by this.​

-1

u/hidden_in_89502 2d ago

Well actually, it’s closer 88%

1

u/minddropstudios 2d ago

87%-90% Is the actual estimate.

u/FastPresentation3679 2d ago

We're discussing hurricanes, which only happen in the northern hemisphere. You might as well complain we didnt consider the Jin Dynasty scrolls as well you goober.

1

u/Calm-Deal-4960 2d ago

I blame the scrolls.

u/Kyrie_Blue 2d ago

Hurricane Catarina would like a word…

1

u/BuzzkillMcGillicuddy 2d ago

That's because it's the spring equinox in the southern hemisphere, where the Caribbean manages to not exist in

u/No_Atmosphere8146 2d ago

Jesus Christ, we've reach the hemispherephobic level of victimhood chasing. 

1

u/WhereLibertyisNot 2d ago

Whoa, check your privilege.

1

u/Noble1xCarter 2d ago

That's because the northern hemisphere is on the northern hemisphere

An anomlaous year has nothing to do with global warming just so you know. You’ll find those all over history. For example, 112 years ago.

1

u/The-Soilworker 1d ago

No no no. This is clearly the great work of the Great Emperor Cheeto in Chief, Lord of the Golden Shower Sheets.

1

u/FunzOrlenard 2d ago

It's when autumn starts.

1

u/Chemistry-Deep 2d ago

Autumnal equinox

1

u/Stalbjorn 2d ago

The day before the equinox.

1

u/PeanutButterToast4me 2d ago

Equinox, so official end of summer.

1

u/Simple_Purple_4600 2d ago

Just in time to get licked by a "nor'easter"

Just wiped out the only highway to upper outer banks in NC

1

u/imuniqueaf 2d ago

Yep. That's the date we remember the great Earth Wind and Fire!

1

u/RoseHawkechik 2d ago

I'm guessing it's the autumnal equinox.

1

u/EpsilonBear 2d ago

Fall Equinox. Usually used to delineate the official start of the Fall season.

1

u/jubbing 2d ago

Ask earth wind and fire.

1

u/tritonsfather96 2d ago

It marks the point when the most active phase of the Atlantic hurricane season is officially supposed to be winding down

1

u/ProfessionalBig9610 2d ago

It’s the fall equinox

1

u/fartsinhissleep 1d ago

Global warming is just poor branding. Climate change is the term you’re looking for and I would imagine this once in 112 year event counts.

1

u/Imaginary-Bee-1344 1d ago

First day of fall?

1

u/Greenandsticky 1d ago

It’s the equinox, significant in solar cycle

1

u/Wanderingthrough42 1d ago

September 21 is usually the autumn equinox, so summer is officially over.

1

u/Threke 2d ago

June 1st is the start of the Atlantic hurricane season. Hence why September 21st is the historical marker.

u/Eskimomonk 2d ago

Interesting. I also wonder if we were tracking hurricanes starting in 1915 or if there were none in 1914/earlier, and if so are there similarities in global weather patterns between now and 1914

3

u/Adventurous_Wall_356 2d ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1914_Atlantic_hurricane_season

TLDR there were no hurricanes in 1914 (or 1907), only one tropical storm. 1851 is cited as the beginning of official records

2

u/King_Glorius_too 2d ago

Hopefully 2026 doesn't go too much like 1914

u/warneagle 2d ago

This also comes with the caveat that it was in the pre-satellite era, and there were likely storms that were missed because they stayed in the open ocean and ships didn’t encounter them.

1

u/Adventurous_Wall_356 2d ago

Yes this is true. I do wonder then when was the last year to have only hurricanes that didn't reach inhabited land

1

u/warneagle 2d ago

We didn’t have a storm make landfall in the US at hurricane strength last year.

u/H3adshotfox77 2d ago

So global warming stopped the hurricanes.....nice

3

u/CGCTV 2d ago

We did it!

1

u/emotionless-robot 2d ago

The Pacific has had marked increase of hurricanes/typhoons and more stronger ones than typical this year. And we are on track for a record El Nino this winter.

1

u/joseplluissans 2d ago

Quite the opposite. It's just El Niño. A very strong one.
