Greeting everyone and thanks for stopping by. There are several more weeks in the North American severe weather season, so I will continue this week with more severe weather safety infographics for you. We also have our weekly look at the latest update of the US Drought Monitor. There are several other interesting science reads to review, so let’s get started.
- Anti-science rhetoric in social media is nothing new, but it’s taken on an exceptionally vile and nefarious personality in the last three years.
- This past week marked the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere. Just what is the solstice and what causes it?
- Here’s a fascinating read on intense lightning that wasn’t associated with a thunderstorm, but a volcanic eruption.
- A worthwhile watch. “What you need to know about the ‘extreme’ heatwave hitting our oceans – video explainer.”
- On the current path, our planet’s climate is headed to a point where life for many will become difficult to tolerate.
- 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 HEAT SAFETY
- The severe weather season in 2023 continues. Recently, we’ve seen deadly severe weather events in MS, OK, and TX. This week, we’ll take a review of tornado safety, flood safety, and a simple warning regarding lightning safety. If you can hear thunder, you’re in danger of being struck. We also have 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!
