martinezlaura+FollowHurricanes Might Get Even Wilder 🌪️Scientists just found out that the ocean’s natural way of cooling off after hurricanes—called 'cold wakes'—isn’t working as well anymore. The water is bouncing back to warm temps way faster, which means future storms could get even stronger. Basically, the planet’s heating up, the ocean can’t chill out like it used to, and hurricane season could be next-level intense. Not exactly the news you want before summer! #ClimateChange #HurricaneSeason #ExtremeWeather40Share
Phyllis Smith+FollowWeather Service Scrambles to RehireDid you hear the National Weather Service is on a hiring spree after a wave of layoffs left some offices barely staffed? They’re looking for 126 new folks—think meteorologists, hydrologists, and even electronics techs to keep the radars spinning. The timing is wild, too, since hurricane season just kicked off. Apparently, some offices in disaster-prone spots like Houston and Miami were hit hardest. Fingers crossed they fill those roles fast! #WeatherService #Meteorology #HurricaneSeason #JobCareer221Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowAtlantic Ocean Throws a CurveballMeteorologists just spotted something wild: a key patch of the Atlantic isn’t heating up as fast as last year. That’s a big deal because warmer water usually means more intense hurricanes. This year, it’s about 2°F cooler than last year’s record, but still hotter than average. Experts say we could still see an active hurricane season, but maybe not as wild as 2024. Climate change is still pushing ocean temps up, so it’s a mixed bag. Anyone else watching hurricane forecasts like reality TV? #ClimateNews #HurricaneSeason #AtlanticOcean #WeatherWatch #ClimateChange #Science305182Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowTropical Waters Flip the Script!Did you hear? The North Atlantic just cooled down by 2°F compared to last year—a total plot twist after years of record heat! Scientists say a stubborn Bermuda High is behind it, stirring up winds and dropping sea temps. This could mean a slower start to hurricane season, which hasn’t happened in ages. But don’t get too comfy: global oceans are still running hot, and other storm zones are ready to rumble. Wild, right? #ClimateChange #HurricaneSeason #ScienceNews #OceanTrends #WeatherWatch #Science51Share
rprice+FollowNWS Scrambles to Fill Hurricane Season GapsThe National Weather Service is racing to fill 155 critical job openings just as hurricane season kicks off. With a federal hiring freeze still in place, they’re shuffling NOAA staff around to patch up major gaps—think meteorologists, techs, and hydrologists. Some offices are so short-staffed they’ve cut hours or lost all management. Insiders are calling this a Band-Aid fix, but the NWS is hoping for a more permanent solution soon. Wild times for weather watchers! #WeatherJobs #NWS #HurricaneSeason #StaffingShortage #NOAA #JobCareer00Share
James Brady+FollowHurricane Season Could Get Wild—Here’s WhyScientists just found some wild ocean temp changes that could totally shake up this year’s hurricane season. Basically, the Pacific and Atlantic are both cooling in weird ways, which could either cancel each other out or make storms way worse. Experts are calling rising temps 'steroids for weather'—think fewer storms, but way more intense ones. If you live near the coast, maybe double-check your emergency kit and consider solar panels for backup power. Weather’s getting unpredictable! #HurricaneSeason #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #BePrepared #OceanScience #Science10Share
