Beautiful tribute from @NOAA_HurrHunter who earlier this evening honored longtime radar scientist and researcher Peter Dodge who passed away in March 2023. His ashes were dropped in the eye of Category 5 Milton tonight – PETER DODGE HX SCI (1950-2023) 387TH PENNY

The Gulf of Mexico this week is the hottest it's been at any point in any year on record by a wide margin. Weekly averaged Gulf sea surface temperatures have never broken 87°F but this week topped 88°F, an astonishing 1.4°C (2.6°F) above the 1991-2020 average.

#Antarctic sea ice remains on its own this year compared to any other July in our satellite record. Keep in mind when looking at this graph that the y-axis interval is 1,000,000 km². This is a massive deviation from the previous record for the date. More: zacklabe.com/antarctic-sea-…

July is often the calm before the proverbial storm heading into August, September, and October -- historically July sees fewer U.S. and Florida impacts from tropical storms and hurricanes than June and fewer "homegrown" systems (80% of total formations in June vs. ~50% in July).

Development odds now up to 70% with Invest 91L in the northeastern Gulf. Air Force Hurricane Hunters currently en route to investigate whether we have Tropical Depression #2 or Tropical Storm Arlene. Regardless, heavy rain potential for the Florida peninsula today and tomorrow.

Is climate change making tornadoes more dangerous? It's complicated, but @WeatherKait breaks down what we know and don't yet know: bit.ly/40JNOXb

Phenomenal and persistent warmth across most of the eastern U.S. so far in 2023, including in South Florida (map via @SERCC)

Including March 13, the average temperature in #Miami so far this year is a record-breaking 74.7°F; the old record was 73.5° and the average is 70.2°. The average *high* temperature of 82.6°F is completely smashing records and is 3 standard deviations above the mean!! [1/3]

Does @airfrance not want wheelchair users on their flights? Obviously! We’re a hassle. But this is my most kafkaesque experience yet:

To clarify - they will allow us to book… for $1200 more.

Hi, @airfrance would you like to contact me about not allowing us to book a flight because of my daughter’s very small, 13kg manual wheelchair? Because I’m sure we are not the only ones who are experiencing this discrimination through your call center. @AirFranceUS

This is the exact issue we are currently dealing with as well! @airfrance it seems you are discriminating against people with disabilities.
