Greeting everyone and thanks for stopping by. As I mentioned last week, the Tornado Quest Top Science Links update will now be every Friday afternoon, central USA time. I will continue this week with more severe weather safety infographics for you. We’ll also take our weekly look at the latest update of the US Drought Monitor. There are several interesting topics to review, so let’s get started.
- There are many great views of the planet Mars, but you’ve never seen on this spectacular before.
- Many Canadian provinces and states in the USA have dealt with thick smoke from Canadian wildfires. By some accounts, 2023 could be the worst year yet in Canada for wildfires.
- This past 5 June 2023 was World Environment Day. Here’s a great overview from the United Nations on this important event & the global ramifications of pollution & climate change.
- Somber news from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The amount of carbon dioxide in our planet’s atmosphere has recently hit a new peak.
- This is an important El Niño update that will affect your weather for months to come.
- Here is this weeks update on the USA Drought Monitor. Conditions east of the Mississippi river have improved a great deal. Extreme or exceptional drought conditions continue for a few central and southern plains states. Recent thunderstorms have helped ease drought conditions across Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas.
SEVERE WEATHER PREPAREDNESS AND SAFETY
- The severe weather season in 2023 continues. This week, we’ll take a look at lightning and flood safety. In addition, here 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.”
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.
That’s a wrap for this post! Thanks to everyone for stopping by. A big ‘Thank You’ to all of you who pay this website a visit and follow Tornado Quest in social media!
See you next Friday!
