Exciting!

Wow 😮 I wonder if they mean a full working website as it was versus just a PDF. That would be really great, it was an amazing resource. Especially the Art x Climate section which I used to highlight on C(.)gov socials every Friday for a time.

Most of the U.S. is getting a nice break this Labor Day weekend from the summer heat, but there are some exceptions – mainly in the west. Check out what's in store for you this weekend at weather.gov.

My former colleagues are the real MVPs, I’m so happy for them ❤️

New AMS statement outlines five foundational flaws that make the Department of Energy's Climate Synthesis Report "inconsistent with scientific principles and practices." Read the full statement: https://bit.ly/3UQRC82

It was truly an honor to interview two Hurricane Directors two decades after Hurricane #Katrina. One was at the helm during the storm, while the other leads today. The most profound lesson that emerged from our conversation? The critical importance of communication.

I am happy to be supporting the NWS in my new role with new content like this!

Ever wondered how heat stress is changing where you live? With the new Thermal Trace app from #CopernicusClimate and #ECMWF, you can explore “feels-like” temperatures, track heat stress categories and thresholds, and visualise interactive charts for your city.

Hmm… I’m certainly intrigued 🧐 My sources say this is legit.

Thousands of people in Eastern Canada are under evacuation orders and thousands more have been warned to be on high alert as quick-moving wildfires burn out of control during what has become Canada’s second-worst wildfire season on record.

The barriers mentioned here are what adapting to our changing climate looks like in real time! For the third August in a row record Mendenhall Lake has exceeded its record gauge height following a glacial outburst flood.

Read this great article from @haleythiemwx.bsky.social at @climate.noaa.gov on the 2023 flood to learn about the climate change connection #RIPClimateGov www.climate.gov/news-feature...

Due to mass confusion, clarifying again: Tsunami Watch: Tsunami of indeterminate magnitude is possible; stand by. Tsunami Advisory: Tsunami is likely *but will probably be small.* Evacuations unlikely. Tsunami Warning: Tsunami is likely *and may be large.* Evacuations needed.

As of 8:25 PM EDT July 29, 2025: Please visit tsunami.gov for the latest updates on expanding watches, warnings and advisories across the Pacific and western U.S.

Hrrr afternoon run quick to try to develop the disturbance off the SE coast. Regardless stormy pulses will overspread FL through midweek as the system moves into / across the northern Gulf. Maybe #Dexter later this week? @WFLA

Your iPhone weather app now has @nws.noaa.gov notifications for things like tornadoes and flash floods alerts. Here’s how to turn them on for your location and any other locations you want to track plus an example of what one looks like.

Part 1: Happy Friday! It’s morning (mountain time) I’m sipping some coffee and just wanted to talk to you all about Wireless Emergency Alerts, why they are important, how to turn them on on your phone and just have a simple discussion. This video is split into two parts…

I’ve been working on sharing some basic climate science in video format (mostly on Instagram). But hey why not share it here too. :)

Today is the top of the month release of the NOAA CPC ENSO diagnostic discussion (EDD), and it will be the first time in 11 years that Climate.gov isn't releasing an associated ENSO blog update. It would have contained an updated version of this graph. [1/4]

These people care way more than anyone knows and way more than they ever get credit for 💔

“We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!"

Your occasional reminder that climate change makes intense rain events more intense. At this point, the question is not "did climate change affect this" but instead "how much of an affect did climate change have?" www.nytimes.com/2025/07/04/u...

June 2025 #Arctic sea ice extent was the 2nd lowest on record for the month... This was 1,280,000 km² below the 1981-2010 average. June ice extent is decreasing at about 3.68% per decade. Data: @nsidc.bsky.social (nsidc.org/data/seaice_...).

Looks like my last article for climate(.)gov got pushed out last week. End of an era but glad this did get published. Give it a read!

Sad to see that leadership didn’t approve of my suggested post language (assuming since this is what is posted) that I submitted on my last day in May as the social media manager. Allow me share some of our team’s kind words here instead:

I sought comment from NOAA and the Department of Defense on this and received this reply today from NOAA's spokesperson. They suggest we use the surviving ATMS microwave that degrades significantly at the edges. You can see how much worse off we'd be with Erick last week if we only had ATMS.

I have been working on a pretty cool (at least I think so) personal project this week... Check out my portfolio website! haleythiem.myportfolio.com

Structural changes, like the development of an eyewall, are detectable in microwave images well before they are in visible or infrared images. It can tip off forecasters to the onset of rapid intensification, which as we've seen plenty of times, can occur shortly before a storm makes landfall. [5/5]

“Without this imagery, there will be increased risk of a ‘sunrise surprise,’ the realization from first-light images that a system had become much better organized overnight.” Not good as we head into an active hurricane season.

A heat wave has engulfed much of the eastern US over the last few days. Hundreds of daily high temp records have been broken, and all-time June high temp records have also been set. The heat wave is expected to ease for a large portion of the east through the weekend. Sourcing @nws.noaa.gov

Monday of #LightningSafety Awareness Week explores the science of lightning. Fast facts: ⚡Lightning travels from the cloud to the ground at faster than 200,000 miles per hour ⚡Lightning is hotter than the surface of the sun ⚡Lightning is 1000+ times more powerful than electricity in your walls

Not all climate stripes are presented the same but they ALL tell the same story—the globe (or in this case, US) is warming. Take a look at these stripes. The top is from Climate Central, the bottom is from @edhawkins.org. Neither is “wrong”, they just compare the temp data using different averages.

I have had the sense as a 35 year meteorologist that extreme events are becoming more frequent, and now there's data backing that up. I wrote not only about this - but also the increasing signs that we are reducing our capacity to deal with these events. open.substack.com/pub/balanced...

Show your stripes day has started internationally and is coming to the U.S. soon! Have you ever seen these stripes and wondered what they meant or where they come from? Allow me to explain. #showyourstripes @edhawkins.org

Hurricane Erick seen yesterday from polar-orbiting satellites as it neared major hurricane status.

Hurricane #Erick rapidly intensified from a tropical storm to a Category 4 hurricane in the 24 hours leading up to landfall. This is the East Pacific's 5th named storm, 2nd hurricane, and 1st major hurricane of the season... the average dates for those are July 23, July 15, and July 15. [1/2]

Ahhhh I miss these sights and sounds! ⛈️

Would have been great to know yesterday…. 🤣

The US climate site @climate.noaa.gov will stop publishing updates after the staff of just 10 people was eliminated by the Trump administration www.npr.org/2025/06/12/n...

Us recently terminated would love to hear how climate(dot)gov has been important for you, whether a colleague, educator, public, company, etc. Please share your experience. If this news troubles you, call your representatives. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It’s been a joy to be a contributor to the climate.gov Polar Vortex blog the last two years- we had so many more topics we wanted to cover. It’s been a real outlet for me to share my love of the atmosphere. 💜 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Major US climate website likely to be shut down after almost all staff fired #Climate

😞

Wherever you live in the world, your climate is getting warmer. 21st June is #ShowYourStripes day when we encourage everyone to use the warming stripes graphics to talk about climate change and how we are all already experiencing the consequences. Download your stripes: www.ShowYourStripes.info
