Greeting everyone. Thanks for stopping by. The Atlantic tropical cyclone/hurricane season is far from over. Since there are several more weeks left in the 2023 hurricane season. I will continue with hurricane preparedness information that you’ll find helpful. We’ll also take a look at the latest update of the US Drought Monitor and a couple of other important reads. But first, this important caveat on weather information and social media.
This important infographic focuses on TROPICAL STORMS/HURRICANES 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 (aka “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.
- In case you missed it, this scenario should come as no surprise. “Musk’s X is the largest source of disinformation, EU official says.”
- Speaking of disinformation, here’s a very important read on finding credible weather information online and in social media. There’s no shortage of hyperbole out there and none of it, or the people who run these “social mediarologists” accounts have your best interests in mind.
- As our climate warms, so do the hazards for those who have to work outside in the hotter months. The USA’s OSHA is developing new workplace heat safety standards.
- The biggest weather and climate story this week is the stunning data on September 2023 from the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service and the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts. This is solid climate change information that is supported by a vast amount of weather and climate data.
- Here’s the latest update on the US Drought Monitor. Across many of the plains states, NM to MS, and the northwest, extreme to exceptional drought conditions persist this week.
HURRICANE PREPAREDNES
- NOAA has an excellent and comprehensive website on hurricane preparedness. Check it out! There’s a great deal of very important information for you.
- 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.
Now let’s take a quick look at various hurricane hazards.
