You may have experienced (or heard a parent or grandparent complain about) changing weather on Halloween from year to year. A study by Climate Central looked at October nighttime temperatures in 242 cities across the US and found that 89% warmed by over 3°F since 1970.

Mark your calendars for an exciting upcoming webinar, hosted in collaboration with the American Meteorological Society (AMS) @ametsoc.org and The Climate Consensus (TCC): Blogospheric Science 101: Building Your Voice in the Atmospheric Arena.

Invasive species negatively impact the native ecosystem by harming or outcompeting native species. This can also have negative impacts on human health and industries.

As the current administration spearheads an assault on renewable energy and climate protections, demonstrations and events this “Sun”day aim to make the case for why solar energy is the correct way forward.

This month’s Meet the Member is Dr. Debanjana Das, an Assistant Research Scientist at Howard University, who has been a member of TCC for six years and was recently appointed to the Board of Directors.

Why do temperature records need adjustments? Well, bias in temperature records is often introduced due to changes in the location of instrumentation, development of more accurate data collection methods and technology, or changes in the times measurements are conducted.

The role of weather systems on Earth is to transport heat and moisture polewards, to make up for the less direct solar radiation (and thus, heat) at polar regions.

For #ThrowbackThursday, we want to highlight members of @climateconsensus.bsky.social at VTSU Lyndon who participated in the Shelburne 5K race this past spring. Participating in this event has become an annual tradition for us to raise awareness about climate change. 🏃‍♀️👟🏅🌎 #race #5K #climateaction

As we wrap up the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere, this week’s Fun Fact Friday focuses on corals. Coral reefs are not only a fun vacation destination, but are also one of the world’s most diverse ecosystems.

Given the observed increase in severity and frequency of flash flooding across the United States (particularly for the Northeast and Midwest) and around the world, a way to map flood severity is critical, particularly in locations without rain gauges.

Have you ever asked yourself the question “what causes weather”? Well it turns out, all you really need is a tank filled with water, a cup of ice, 2 dyes of your favorite color, and some rotation to get your answer!

There is not much to say about the recent floods, particularly the tragic and devastating events in Texas where many lost their lives. Floods in New York City are always impactful given the population density of the area.

Storm surge happens when the observed water levels during a storm exceed predicted tidal levels, often leading to severe coastal flooding.

Next up in our Meet the Members series: Andrew is an Assistant Professor at Vermont State University - Lyndon, and has been part of TCC for 10 years!

When we think of temperatures, we can classify them as below average, average, and above average.

Today is Show Your Stripes Day! Show Your Stripes is a campaign to show state and even city-specific temperature increases across the United States in a creative way. Check out more and generate your stripes at: www.climatecentral.org/stripes-info... Show us your stripes in the replies!

Plant hardiness zones provide a blueprint to gardeners and farmers on which plants they can grow in a specific region. Scroll through this thread to learn more about these zones.

As more local and national governments struggle to recover from and protect against more frequent and extreme climate disasters, some have sought compensation through civil cases and “polluters pay” laws.

Next up in our Meet the Members series: Alethia joined TCC in early 2024 and is an active Digital Engagement Committee member. She recently graduated from the University of Oklahoma with her Master’s in Meteorology 🎉 and is now a Data Analyst in North Carolina!

This Friday, society is one step closer to forecasting thunderstorms everywhere, all at once. That is, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is testing a 3 km (1.9 mi) experimental weather forecast for the globe, which contains much more detail than traditional real-time global models.

With climate change, drought and overuse have left the Colorado River system in crisis, since the need for water far exceeds availability, with more than 40 million people across the United States and Mexico relying on it.

This month’s Meet the Member is Austin Reed who has been a member of TCC since 2021 when the TCC chapter at George Mason University started.
