The natural climate pattern La Niña started to make her presence felt last fall. Now, she's on her way out. According to a new National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration report, things have shifted into a "neutral" phase, which is forecast to last into at least early fall. Forecasters are predicting an active hurricane season and above average temperatures nearly everywhere in the U.S. aside from the Pacific Northwest and parts of the Northern Tier. Here's more from @CNN.

CNN · La Niña is dead. Here’s what to expect in the coming monthsBy Mary Gilbert

Any #weather or #meteorology nerds out there? I'm trying to understand why my area is under a freeze warning but the forecasted low is only 39F.

Now I'm no brain giant over here, but I do recall that water freezes at 32F which, according to my rough calculations, is 7F lower than 39F.

What's going on here, and does it make sense in some way I'm not aware of?

Why it matters: The outages mainly would have affected NOAA’s research division, and would have made numerous websites and data sets inaccessible to […]

Can renewable energy survive climate change?

As #droughts reduce #hydropower and #clouds dim #solar output around the world, experts say #meteorology and #ClimateScience must be at the heart of the #energy transition.

Yet, even as the push for renewables gains momentum – driven by cheaper technology and an urgent need to slash carbon emissions – experts are waving cautionary flags: Because renewable energy sources depend on weather conditions, climate change is increasingly dictating, and jeopardizing, renewable energy production.
