In honor of Dr. Jenni Evans's legacy in tropical meteorology, I warmly welcome your participation in the upcoming session @ametsoc.org's 37th Conf. on Hurricanes & Tropical Meteorology:
"From Tropics to Extratropics: Exploring Cyclone Dynamics in Current & Future Climates in Memory of Jenni Evans"
🧵
Screenshot that says: "Climate Central analyzes real-time data to reveal the climate change story behind every named Atlantic storm. As storms form and strengthen, our data and visuals show how rising ocean temperatures — driven by climate change — fuel tropical cyclones and influence their intensity for Melissa, Lorenzo, Jerry, Imelda, and Humberto."
For understanding climate change impacts to tropical cyclones in near-real time, explore our new attribution pages unique to each storm from @climatecentral.org: www.climatecentral.org/tropical-cyc...
"Climate change made the ocean temperatures along Melissa's path 500 to 700 times more likely."
Melissa has rapidly intensified into a category 4 major hurricane according to preliminary NHC estimates:
- from 60 to 120 kt in 24 hours (⬆️ 60 kt)
- from 90 to 110 kt in just 6 hours (⬆️ 20 kt)
This slow-moving storm will not only deliver damaging winds & storm surge but also catastrophic rainfall.
The National Hurricane Center now forecasts Melissa to reach Category 5 strength before striking Jamaica head on late Monday or early Tuesday. An exceedingly dire, catastrophic forecast unfolding as Melissa crawls and rapidly intensifies on the doorstep of Jamaica.
Ahead of UN Day, we’re highlighting the #IPCC.
The IPCC is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change.
It was established in 1988 by UNEP & WMO to provide policymakers with regular scientific assessments on climate change - it's impacts, risks & solutions.
According to the @ametsoc.org, 2024 reached record highs in greenhouse gas concentrations, global temperatures, sea levels and more.
We need coordinated global action to tackle climate change - our report underscores the importance of a synchronised approach to keeping 1.5°C alive. shorturl.at/LB85d
Extremely honored to represent the Caribbean Small Island Developing States #SIDS in @ipcc.bsky.social #AR7 Working Group I Contribution to Regional Climate and Extremes as a lead author! I’m looking forward to collaborating with scientists worldwide and bringing this crucial document together.
Happy to share that I’ve been selected as a Coordinating Lead Author of the #SmallIslands chap of IPCC #AR7 Working Group II … with Dr Sindra Sharma Denyse S. Dookie Kesha Fevrier Georgiana Gordon-Strachan Stefano Moncada Estelle Razanatsoa Kevon Rhiney Adelle Thomas & Morgan Wairu
I hope we're all talking about this. Huge thanks and congrats to delegates and scientists that advocated and supplied the courts with scientific evidence! www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Healthy environment a human right, UN court says in landmark climate ruling
We are heartbroken by the tragedy in Texas and concerned about the spread of misinformation and speculation related to the Weather Service, budget cuts, etc.
Here is a breakdown of what we do (and don't) know, based on excellent summaries and insights from experts in the field (source in replies).
As of today, all current NOAA Climate and Global Change postdoctoral fellows have been furloughed due to the Dept of Commerce not releasing the funding for the program. In addition no new Fellows were awarded this year. cpaess.ucar.edu/cgc
We welcome abstracts with a key focus on a changing climate on Caribbean environments and livelihood. Please consider applying and joining this very necessary discussion. Deadline for abstract submissions is Wednesday, July 30th. www.agu.org/annual-meeting
Applications for #AGU25 are now open! My co-chairs Gabriel Rios and Veeshan Narinesingh, and I are excited to host our session GC029: Caribbean Climate: Current and Impending Risks in a Changing World.

Climate.gov, a major US government website supporting public education on climate science, will likely shut down after almost all of its staff were fired. What would be worse is if the website were co-opted to publish climate denial content.
Mine is Moonstruck (1987). Couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve watched it.
Really nice article by Dan Chavas on tornado activity in 2025: theconversation.com/in-2025-torn...
Satellite imagery of a dust plume exiting the coast of West Africa. GeoColor imagery from the GOES-19 weather satellite, captured on June 4, 2025.
Over the last week, several large Saharan dust plumes exited the coast of West Africa, entering the skies over the Atlantic Ocean.
On June 4, 2025, a particularly robust, comma-shaped plume began its transatlantic journey (1/3).
On this first official day of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season, attribution science of the Climate Shift Index shows unseasonably hot sea surface temperatures are made as much as 50 to 100 times MORE likely due to human-caused climate change.
