Summary of rainfall so far this summer. Blue areas are the driest. Some of those areas have only received 1/4 of the normal rainfall which is quite substantial for such a long period (the better part of a season). Note eastern Nfld where there are currently fires. #nswx #nlwx

Climate change is enhancing flash floods threat (death & destruction). A comprehensive system includes identification of risk areas (pluvial flood maps), public education, forecast & detection systems (incl AI), and effective alerting.

As a member of the private sector in the weather enterprise, I want to emphasize that reducing support for national meteorological agencies is bad for business. Moreover, weather does not follow borders, so curtailing data collection in one country has global repercussions.

Acknowledging women scientists today #womeninscience, including the many friends and colleagues who collaborate within the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society @CMOS_SCMO

[Jim Abraham @YHZweatherguy]

This is an important post. Weather, water and climate services in Canada and around the world mutually benefit from incredible cooperation. US scientists, including NOAA and the National Weather Service are leaders internationally and friends to us all.

[American Meteorological Society @ametsoc]

The weather & climate enterprise provides essential services that the public relies upon. We do not yet know the depth of the changes we face, but all have a voice, and we are stronger together than apart.

Precip tapers off Monday aftn as COLD air invades from NW. Messy roads!

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

If you’re pondering why people aren’t more concerned about climate change, it’s not complicated.
The oil industry spends $1 billion a year on disinformation.
That buys a lot of confusion - even amongst the educated and intelligent.
