Have you ever seen something like this? Check out... this visualization of water flowing through rivers in the Lower Mississippi Valley as thunderstorms meandered through the region over the last 24 hours. The Streamflow products included with the MRMS suite from NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory provide a one-of-a-kind way to visualize the evolution of heavy rain and thunderstorms. Streamflow - or how much and how fast water is flowing down rivers - is represented in units of volume per second and is available from 3 different water balance models: CREST, SAC-SMA, and Hydrophobic. NWS Meteorologists use these products to monitor the risk of flash flooding. You can access the full suite of FLASH products from MRMS on WeatherFront!show more

Y'all see this swirl over the Mediterranean passing south... of Benghazi? That's not a hurricane – it's a Medicane. Yes, that's a real term. The word is a portmanteau combining "Mediterranean" and "hurricane." The Mediterranean is too small to support barotropic (tropical cyclones) the scale of conventional hurricanes AND is too far north to support a truly tropical cyclone anyway. Moreover, water temperatures are too cool. (Most tropical cyclones exist over sea surface temperatures of 78 degrees or warmer; the current water temperature off the coast of Libya is about 63 degrees.) Medicanes can and occasionally do reach hurricane strength. The strongest on record was Medicane Ianos, which impacted Greece between September 17-18, 2020. It briefly became the equivalent of a tiny Category 2 hurricane with winds of 95 mph. On rare occasions, a nontropical low can meander over the Mediterranean, and a storm can form that takes on some tropical characteristics. Unlike nontropical cyclones, which are common at the mid-latitudes, medicanes feature a warm core. That requires warm sea surface temperatures. A 2016 study found that medicanes are likely to become significantly stronger by the end of the century in response to warming sea surface temperatures. Tthe researchers found a likelihood for "a higher number of moderate and violent medicanes.” Since 1980, Mediterranean sea surface temperatures have increased between 1 and 2 degrees.show more

Marjorie Taylor Greene tried explaining away Climate Change by... arguing that no one paid taxes during the Ice Age: Let me break this down a little bit for you: - The last ice age began approximately 2.6 million years ago and peaked approximately 20,000 years ago. - At its peak, temperatures were estimated to be approximately 10°F cooler than they are today. - That equates to a temperature rise of 0.05°F per century over 20,000 years. - Over the last 100 years (1 century) alone, the average surface temperature has increased by 1°F - This is 20 times faster than it had gained on average over the 190 centuries prior. - What changed? Industry and the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide causes a greenhouse effect, keeping heat in the Earth's atmosphere and surface. The levels of CO2 have increased drastically over the last century. FACTS matter and so do educated politicians.show more

The planet is giving warning signs about global warming,... something that scientists have been underlining for decades. Thousands of fish died at Quintana Beach, Texas, due to the lack of oxygen caused by high water temperatures. Warmer waters hold less oxygen, which can lead to hypoxia and the death of fish. These events, which seem to be more frequent and severe, coincide with the predictions of a 2019 UN report that warned about the possible formation of "dead zones" in the sea due to the rise in surface water temperatures. #ClimateActionNowshow more

El Niño is born! Destined to be the biggest... in 150 years +?? NOAA declares: El Niño Advisory This morning conditions in the Eastern Pacific met the criteria for El Niño. This means Sea Surface Temps reached a certain level above normal, and the ocean and atmosphere “coupled” meaning they are now working in tandem to produce impacts. This event is widely advertised by models to be potentially the strongest on record. El Niño takes very hot water stored in the deep tropical west Pacific, pushing it east and up to the surface, lofting that heat into the atmosphere, which supercharges weather events and throws the climate off-kilter. This typical means more intense heatwaves & floods, but also it restrains the Atlantic hurricane season. So its impacts are both good and bad. One thing seems virtually certain: the heat released into the atmosphere will make for some unprecedented events through 2027, and on top of longterm warming, the hottest global temperatures in many tens of 1000s of years. #ElNino #florida #storm #heatwave #flood #droughtshow more

Watch as the East Pacific Morphs into a Monster... El Niño - the strongest ever observed! This visual is different - it shows how surface and subsurface temperatures have heated dramatically since last fall - relative to October’s ocean state. The heat travels there under the surface from an overheated West Pacific Warm Pool. It’s a testament to all the excess heat being stored in the oceans now-a-days coming back to haunt us as it’s released back into the active climate system, increasing extreme weather and climate patterns like heat, floods, droughts, and fires. This is real Data visualization not AI slop. #ElNinoshow more

The ongoing record-breaking heat wave in the West will... continue while expanding across the Central U.S. through the weekend. Based on preliminary data, there have been around 50 March high temperature records broken since March 17 and more than 150 daily high temperature records broken. Record setting temperatures are expected to continue over the next several days. Most areas will see temperature departures of 25 to 35 degrees higher than normal for this time of year. However, some locations in the central Plains on Saturday could see departures exceed 40 degrees from normal! Overnight low temperatures will also be well above average, providing little relief from the heat. The early time of year, prolonged nature of this heat wave, and limited seasonal acclimation will increase the risk of heat impacts especially among sensitive populations or those without effective cooling. Adjust plans to limit strenuous outdoor activities to early morning hours, drink plenty of fluids, and seek air conditioned spaces. For more heat safety tips visit:show more

🌊 El Niño in the tropical Pacific continues to... strengthen According to NOAA/CPC, sea-surface temperatures off the coast of Peru and around the Galápagos Islands are more than 3°C above the long-term average. According to the WMO’s monthly Global Seasonal Climate Update, El Niño is expected to continue strengthening and develop into a strong event during August–October 2026. A positive Indian Ocean Dipole is also forecast. During this phase, the western tropical Indian Ocean is warmer than average, while the eastern part is cooler than average. The WMO warns that a strengthening El Niño increases the likelihood of heatwaves, drought, heavy rainfall, and other extreme weather events, with impacts varying by region. 🌡️ Above-normal temperatures: expected across most inhabited land areas of the world. 💧 Wetter-than-normal conditions: western North America, central South America, southern Europe, and North Africa. ☀️ Drier-than-normal conditions: Central America, northern South America, northern Europe, parts of central Africa, India, and southern and eastern Australia.show more

☀️🌡️ Another heatwave is expected in Europe. Temperatures may... exceed 40 °C as the summer solstice approaches Across many parts of western, southwestern, central, and northern Europe, temperatures are expected to rise well above the long-term average in the coming days. Unusually warm weather is already affecting the southwest of the continent. In Galicia, Spain, the Coruña Airport weather station recorded a high of 37.7 °C over the weekend, marking the station's highest temperature ever. In the second half of the week, exceptional heat will spread across much of Europe, as very warm air from the south gradually moves farther north along the western side of a high-pressure system. The heatwave is likely to be most pronounced in Spain and France, where temperatures could climb above 40 °C over the weekend, with local anomalies exceeding the long-term average by up to 15 °C. It is still unclear how long the hot weather will last, but some models suggest it could continue into next week. The upcoming heatwave could bring higher peak temperatures than the late-May event, partly because it comes around the summer solstice, when days are longest. ⚠️ Keep an eye on the latest forecasts and official warnings.show more

🚨 A SATELLITE JUST REVEALED SOMETHING SHOCKING: GPS JAMMING... IS FAR MORE WIDESPREAD THAN ANYONE REALIZED. An experimental navigation satellite called Pulsar-0, flying just 500 km above Earth, has mapped GPS signal tampering from space for the first time and the scale surprised even the engineers who built it. As soon as the satellite passed over Europe and parts of the Middle East, its GPS receiver showed massive signal degradation. In the worst areas, signal strength dropped from a normal 40 decibels all the way down to just 10 decibels. Why this matters: • Ground-based jammers (used in conflicts like Ukraine and the Middle East) are now reaching all the way into low Earth orbit • Satellites like Starlink that rely on GPS for collision avoidance and positioning are being affected across a huge region from France to the borders of Pakistan • When GPS drops out, satellites can’t accurately point their antennas, maintain formation, or safely maneuver • This isn’t just a military problem it threatens the growing network of commercial satellites we increasingly depend on The deeper implication: We’ve long known that GPS signals on the ground can be jammed. What we didn’t fully appreciate is how far those jamming signals reach into space. Even satellites in low Earth orbit the backbone of global communications, Earth observation, and future mega-constellations are now operating in an increasingly hostile electromagnetic environment. Xona’s upcoming constellation aims to fix this with signals 100 times stronger than traditional GPS. But the bigger question remains: as more nations and groups weaponize jamming and spoofing, how resilient will our orbital infrastructure actually be? How concerned are you that GPS jamming is now reaching into space and affecting satellites? Follow for more frontier space technology and the hidden vulnerabilities of our orbital systems.show more

Did you know that in 1947, GE (General Electric)... scientists were involved in a secret government program called Project Cirrus that seeded hurricanes to steer them? After seeding, the hurricane took an immediate sharp turn towards the southeast US. They did this 80 years ago... Did you also know there was another program called Project Stormfury from 1962-1983 that seeded hurricanes to a substantially higher degree to "learn whether the force of the storms can be diminished"? It's completely rational to think that they also learned more about how they can impact their trajectory towards landmass and increase it's destructive power. What if the government is just creating a human trauma farm and disaster economy so they can continue to make you more and more reliant on them and profit from it at the time? If still you're struggling to comprehend that kind of malice from these orgs, you must have been dead asleep for the past 4 years. To quote Richard Spinrad from a 2009 memo to HSARPA, who was the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) assistant administrator for the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR). "While OAR recognizes that weather modification, in general, is occurring through the funding of private enterprises, NOAA does not support research that entails efforts to modify hurricanes" Read this part very slowly - "is occurring through the funding of private enterprises" Geoengineering and weather modification is reality and you have to be blind or dishonest not to believe it at this point. The government can create, diminish, and steer hurricanes, and they've had the capacity to do so for decades. So yet again, you must now ask yourself... Would they do such a thing and willfully cause destruction and harm to their own citizens for a nefarious or profit motivated purpose? The answer is a resounding and undeniable YES, they would.show more
