Greeting everyone. It’s good to see you. The big news, at least for the northern hemisphere, are the ongoing wildfires in Hawaii and Canada. In spite of the quiet conditions, the Atlantic hurricane season us upon us and it’s time to take a look at hurricane safety. We’ll also take a look at the latest update of the US Drought Monitor, so let’s get started.
- On the planet Mars, images taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter how what could be signs of glacial activity in the distant past.
- This should come as no surprise to anyone. Scientists by the thousands are cutting back or leaving Twitter (aka “X”) and looking elsewhere to build a scientific online community.
- In the climate change denialism arena, the bizarre antics just got more weird. Unfortunately, students, who are beginning to learn about how our world works, are taking an intellectual hit.
- The devastating wildfires in Maui are a watershed event in North American wildfire history. Here’s a update on the current events in Hawaii. As usual, this is a news story that is continually changing day by day.
- With the tropical Atlantic showing subtle hints at waking up, now is the time to prepare for the storm you hope never impacts where you live.
- ICYMI: A new report from the World Meteorological Organization confirms what many have suspected. July 2023 was the hottest month ever recorded.
- Here’s the latest update on the US Drought Monitor. Across much of the plains states and northwest, severe to exceptional drought conditions continue to spread.
HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS
- Here are two infographics that you’ll find helpful in preparing for a hurricane or tropical storm. The emergency kit checklist is a good starting point. The next infographic covers some of the life threatening hazards that frequently occur in land-falling hurricanes and tropical 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. With Twitter (NOW OFFICIALLY KNOWN AS “X”) in disarray and automated posts now a thing of the past, warnings from your local National Weather Service office won’t be in your timeline. Now more than ever, you need a good quality NOAA weather radio.
