I am not sure what weather grift is but I’d be surprised if it is not this:
I was looking for the storm that ran from North America to Japanese waters in the south Pacific on Tropical Storm Risk but I was a day late and they had removed it from their servers, I think for honest reasons even though the site is run by an insurance company.
So I went to an archive so technical I couldn’t understand it: 91P
The trick is that the longitudes as ell as the latitudes. The problem being the line as a near perfect arc despite the rate of changes in the momentums of the gyre. Lets have a look at the adjacent 05S South Indian storm:
ait it redirects to Micronesia:
Oh.
Let’s try wikedpeado, they at least can be trusted. Crap!
What was I expecting?
A cursory glance at: https://watchers.news/category/severe-weather/ reveals nothing; boy I am glad I never sent them any money.
I had one hell of a job removing the stain of microsoft from these calc.odt quakes:

Note there was nothing larger than 5.5M since the 29 January to date 6th February.
This is the storm I was looking for yesterday. More later when I have had a look at it. Tropical Depression DORA how about that for fairly mild storm?
I have someone helping me set out the solar system, she has no idea what this is about.
