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. All severe hazards will be possible on a few days as a complex forecast scenario evolves. 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.
- Let’s start this week with a fascinating astronomy read about astronomers having found the remnants of the oldest stars in the universe.
- We may be in for a brutal summer across the northern hemisphere. “Heat Waves Fueled by Climate Change Topple Records around the Globe.“
- While on the topic of heat waves, 2022 was Europe’s hottest summer ever. Let’s hope we don’t get a repeat but, according to a new study, more hot summers are on the way.
- This new study is essential reading for anyone interested in cutting edge atmospheric research that is void of disinformation on climate.
- The Atlantic hurricane season is only a few weeks away. It’s not too early to prepare. Now is the time to prepare for the storm you hope never happens.
- NOAA has released their latest State Of The Climate report on the USA with a detailed look at April 2023.

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.

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.
