Hello to one and all. I’m glad you stopped by. May has arrived and that typically brings the peak of the annual severe weather events across the USA. Recent days have been rather quiet. However, indications are that all severe hazards will be possible on a few days coming up. Therefore, I will continue this week with more severe weather preparedness infographics for you which included tornado safety. As usual, we’ll take a look at the latest US Drought Monitor. Several other important topics to cover, so let’s get started.
- Clean air and personal health go hand in hand. This excellent site explains how and why.
- Here’s a detailed report from the World Meteorological Organization. “Prepare for El Niño.” Chances are it will affect the weather and climate where you live.
- Storm surge is a major factor in hurricane landfalls. NOAA has just upgraded their storm surge models to be prepared for the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season.
- Speaking of the hurricane season, it’s not too early to prepare. The Atlantic season will officially begin in a matter of weeks.
- Here is the latest update on the USA Drought Monitor. Conditions east of the Mississippi river have improved a great deal. Extreme or exceptional drought conditions continue for much of the central and southern plains states. Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas have the current worst conditions.
SEVERE WEATHER PREPAREDNESS AND SAFETY
- The severe weather season in 2023 has been one of the most active in recent years and a record has already been set in the USA for tornado activity. With knowledge being power and the most important factor in staying safe, here’s some great information you’ll find helpful. This is an essential read on severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and related hazards in an excellent 20 page PDF file from the National Weather Service…”Thunderstorms, Tornadoes, and Lightning. Nature’s Most Violent Storms.” Next, we’ll take a look look were to go in a structure when sheltering during a tornado warning. Knowing where to shelter could save the lives of your loved ones and you.
This important infographic focuses on winter weather and social media. However, it also applies to ANY weather conditions that occur years round regardless of where you live. Remember that your NOAA weather radio, local NWS Office, and the broadcast meteorologists of your choice are always the best choices for all types of weather…from clement to life threatening situations.
