Tropical storm NANUAK formed west of India on June 10, 2014 and since then has been moving toward the northwest over the open waters of the Arabian Sea. The TRMM satellite found that NANAUK contained powerful storms dropping rain at a rate of over 247.3 mm/hr (about 9.7 inches) when viewed on June 11, 2014 at 1549 UTC. An analysis of rainfall from TRMM's Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) is shown above overlaid on a 1530 UTC enhanced infrared image from the METEOSAT-7 satellite. TRMM PR data were used in the 3-D view shown in the second image. Those data showed that NANAUK

Tropical storm Cristina intensified and was a category one hurricane with wind speeds of over 65 kts (about 75 mph) when the TRMM satellite flew over on June 11, 2014 at 1142 UTC (4:42 AM PDT). A rainfall analysis that used data from TRMM's Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) instruments is shown overlaid on an enhanced infrared image received by the GOES-EAST satellite at 1145 UTC. TRMM TMI data clearly revealed that an eye had developed indicating that Cristina was definitely a hurricane. TRMM PR found that rain was falling at a rate of over 74.4 mm/hr (about 2.9 inches) in a

The third tropical depression of the eastern Pacific Ocean was upgraded by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) to tropical storm Cristina on June 10, 2014 at 0300 UTC (8 PM PDT). The TRMM satellite had a good early morning view of Cristina on June 10, 2014 at 1238 UTC (5:38 AM PDT). Rainfall from TRMM's Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) are shown overlaid on an enhanced visible/infrared 1245 UTC image from the GOES-EAST satellite. TRMM TMI data show Large areas of moderate to heavy rainfall west of Mexico's coast. The NHC predicts that Cristina will strengthen to hurricane

The movement of tropical storm Boris into southern Mexico and a nearly stationary low pressure system in the southern Gulf Of Mexico has been causing heavy rainfall in that area. The TRMM-based, near-real time Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center monitors rainfall over the global Tropics. TMPA rainfall totals are shown here for the period May 29 to June 6, 2014. The highest rainfall totals of over 535 mm were analyzed where tropical storm Boris came ashore in southern Mexico. The slow moving low pressure center in the Bay Of Campeche is

On June 5, 2014 at 0549 UTC (1:49 AM EDT) the TRMM satellite flew above the remnants of tropical Depression Boris and powerful thunderstorms that recently developed in the Gulf of Mexico. Rainfall derived from TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) data are shown overlaid on an enhanced infrared image from the GOES-EAST satellite. TRMM found heavy rainfall over Mexico's Pacific coast and with a disturbance in the Gulf Of Mexico (90L). Rainfall was falling at the extreme rate of over 163 mm (about 6.4 inches) per hour in powerful thunderstorms associated with the low pressure
