@wxjay Unfortunately, I think the news cycle was overwhelmed by the breaking situation in Afghanistan. I think it would have been covered more prominently had it not been for that and Cuomo's resignation. 🤷

It's been fun watching this concept come to life ... matching people who want to learn something with those who can teach it. Especially valuable for students and early career professionals the Knowledge Exchange is a platform to connect people

Extreme heat is especially hard on outdoor professions. Landscapers and groundskeepers, construction workers and highway workers are among those who spend the most time outside, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. https://t.co/B5SknokYra

I had the great pleasure of working with Dr. Gershunov at Scripps many years ago. "Sasha" taught me a lot about "detection and attribution" which is the field of science that strives to link weather events to their underlying climate drivers. https://t.co/qN2838wAwd

The blistering 118-degree temperature occurred on the ground in Verkhojansk, a small town in Eastern Siberia. https://t.co/IiHmC5OUih

forecast reliability depends on the quality and accuracy of initialization data, or a sample of the current global atmosphere when the model run is started. https://t.co/pJsc1mAflU

121F recorded in Lytton, British Columbia is not only the highest temperature ever recorded in Canada but also the highest temperature recorded on Earth north of 50-degrees of latitude.

I enjoyed speaking with the folks at Cheddar Climate about the economic impacts of extreme weather!! https://t.co/LI4vi9lggB

“I am convinced that even the best idea is worth exactly nothing if that idea doesn’t get connected to the right advisors, customers, and investors.*

I agree!!

Our Co-Founder Steve spoke with CBS News about the economic impacts of extreme weather and how this weekends historic heat wave affects even the smallest local business.

"…not that long ago we were talking about Snowmageddon in places like Washington, D.C.. If you are managing a budget to provide safe parking and sidewalks at your property, your budget goes up and down pretty dramatically from year to year." https://t.co/bw7Nno5bPY

"So even though we're slightly above average in terms of the number of tornadoes, it's still zero fatalities which is obviously a good thing," https://t.co/9Izp64m4B0

Over the tropics, raw temperature data reveals smaller temperature fluctuations. But when temperature is normalized -- or divided- by the temperature fluctuations over the same period, the data shows that the tropics have greater warming ...https://t.co/XLlk7z8ky7

Tropical Storm #Bill continues to move away from the U.S., but we're still watching the storminess in the Bay of Campeche. Whatever it becomes, if anything, will bring heavy rain to parts of the Gulf Coast States. @JenCarfagno & I have the latest forecast on the @weatherchannel.

This graph helps explain why heat extremes are becoming so much more common/severe in a warming world. https://t.co/TgZhwkmg14

Convection permitting models were used to produce high-resolution simulations that predicted rainfall dynamics from 2000-2009. https://t.co/YFOQKMZa3t

We studied summer heat in 30,000 cities across the U.S You might be surprised to learn that only 3,500 cities in our study experienced much warmer summer days, while nearly 10,000 have exhibited cooling - Detroit tops the list in the US!! https://t.co/jBHdQYCYZj
