Tropical Storm Ian gaining strength over the Caribbean on 24 September 2022

Greetings everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. The tropical Atlantic is very busy after a very quiet start to the 2022 hurricane season. Front and center as of this post is Ian which is forecast to intensify into a hurricane, make landfall in Cuba, and then somewhere on the Florida, USA coast as a very strong hurricane. This week, I’ll continue with helpful infographics on preparing an emergency kit that will be helpful in any tropical storm or hurricane scenario as well as an infographic cautioning you to the hazards and dangers of using unofficial sources for weather information. As usual, there are many other essential and important reads to review on climate, weather, and other science related topics, so let’s get started.

The new James Webb Space Telescope has captured the most amazing view of Neptune and its rings in decades.
The conditions on other planets in our solar system never ceases to amaze us. Here’s a look at how wind affects the geology on the planet Mars.
Adaptation is key to a healthier future. “A cleaner future for flight — aviation needs a radical redesign.”
Thirty-five years ago this month, the Montreal Protocal came into being. Since then, it has quietly helped us from living in conditions that would have warmed our planet more than it already has.
The year 2022 will be one that many of us will not forget soon due to numerous climate extremes that took place around the globe. This is an exceptionally informative read on how La Nina together with climate change made disasters on top of disasters possible.
Finally, if you’re looking for hurricane preparedness information, here’s your one stop for everything you need to know for before, during and after the storm. This all inclusive website from NOAA will help you prepare for the storm and tell you how to stay safe afterwards. The infographics below will help you prepare an emergency kit and use discretion when you come across questionable weather information/forecasts/hyperbole when online or using social media.

Tornado Quest Top Science Links For September 10 – 17, 2022

Greetings everyone! I hope this week’s post finds all of you doing well. The tropical Atlantic has been much more active as of late. This week, we’ll continue with helpful infographics on preparing an emergency kit that will be helpful in any tropical storm or hurricane scenario. As usual, there are many other essential and important reads to review on climate, weather, and other science related topics, so let’s get started.

Well said. “The past is not radically discontinuous from the present. The past has given us everything that we have, including the ideas we use to criticize it. We must, then, give past people their due.“
This is a very novel idea that has been a long time coming. Making recyclable plastics out of CO2 to slow climate change.
Could switching to renewable energy sources save us money? According to a new Oxford University study, the answer is definitely ‘yes!’
Easier said than done to keep this daunting challenge in check. “How to stop cities and companies causing planetary harm.”
The Interior Department and NOAA have a new website that clearly shows how climate change is hurting the USA in more ways than many of us are aware.
Considering how deadly heat waves have been for many years, perhaps it’s time to revise our current heat index to one that more accurately reflects heat effects on the human body and climate change.
If you thought the summer of 2022 was exceptionally hot across many areas of the globe, you’d be exactly right…it was on of the hottest ever.
It’s well past time that this issue was addressed. Better late than never. “‘None Of Us Are About Hype.’ How To Recognize And Avoid Fake Weather Forecasts.” The NOAA/NWS infographic below also speaks on this widespread issue.

Last but not least, if you’re looking for hurricane preparedness information, here’s your one stop for everything you need to know for before, during and after the storm. This all inclusive website from NOAA will help you prepare for the storms that we hope never happen.

Greetings everyone! I hope this week’s post finds all of you doing well. The tropical Atlantic is much more active and the potential for a landfalling tropical cyclone is certainly a possibility. Consequently, I’ll continue to share helpful infographics on preparing an emergency kit that will be helpful in any tropical storm or hurricane scenario. As usual, there are many other essential and important reads to review on climate, weather, and other science related topics, so let’s get started.

If we breach the 1.5°C climate goal, there are six climate tipping points that are guaranteed to occur…all to our planet’s detriment.
Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico in 2017. This is an interesting read on how coral pollution helped increase the intensity of this very damaging hurricane.
A uncomfortable and potentially lethal new normal is coming to fruition. The summers we are having now may be the coolest we have for the rest of our lives.
Much of California has taken a beating in recent weeks with drought, record heat, wildfires, and the potential for flooding taking place.
Here’s a look at the latest US Drought Monitor. Across the western half of the contiguous USA, drought conditions continue to persist and worsen by the day.

If you’re looking for hurricane preparedness information, here’s your one stop for everything you need to know for before, during and after the storm. This all inclusive website from NOAA will help you prepare for the storms that we hope never happen.

Greetings everyone! I hope this week’s post finds all of you doing well. The tropical Atlantic is certainly much busier than last week and the potential for a landfalling tropical cyclone is certainly a possibility. Consequently, I’ll continue to share helpful infographics on preparing an emergency kit that will be helpful in any tropical storm or hurricane scenario. As usual, there are many other essential and important reads to review on climate, weather, and other science related topics, so let’s get started.

Happy meteorological autumn to my friend and followers in the Northern Hemisphere! For folks south of the equator, welcome to meteorological spring!

The launch of the Artemis vehicle may have had another delay due to fueling issues, but weather can also sideline a launch. Why is weather so important to a rocket launch?
Here’s some very good news on the renewables front. “US to see renewable energy boom in wake of historic climate bill.”
Public policy is now key to badly needed adaptations if we are to get a handle on the climate crisis. “To adapt to climate impacts, come to grips with politics.” Good weather has held back USA climate action for decades.
“COP27 will be deadlocked if climate adaptation funding promise is broken.” A disastrous stalemate is likely unless low and middle income countries can trust promises made by richer nations.
“Why drought looks different depending on your region.” The USA’s Northeast’s ‘flash drought’ is a reminder that dryness isn’t just a problem for western states.
Hand in hand with drought is the scourge of heat waves. Heat is by far the deadliest weather hazard for the USA & many other countries. Often underrated, heat’s not called the ‘silent killer’ for nothing. Unfortunately, this weather and climate threat doesn’t garner the superfluous attention and hyperbole seen elsewhere in social media.
For the latest on the Atlantic hurricane season, check out NOAA’s National Hurricane Center’s website. Here’s a look at the outlook for the next few days.
Here’s a very comprehensive website from NOAA and the National Weather Service on hurricane preparedness, watches and warnings that will be important to you, and what to do after a hurricane or tropical storm.
