NOAA Proposes Permanently Closing Premiere Hurricane Research Institute

In its proposed 2026 budget released Monday, NOAA closes all federally funded weather and climate research labs, including the one responsible for maintaining the nation’s top hurricane models

Only days after the U.S. Department of Defense abruptly announced the immediate termination of satellite data critical to hurricane forecasts – granted a moratorium early Monday through July – NOAA posted details of its 2026 budget request to Congress, which closes more than a dozen world-class weather and climate facilities across the U.S., including Miami’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory and its Hurricane Research Division, institutions responsible for most of the advancements in hurricane forecasting and science over the past 50 years.

Though budget estimates released by the White House at the end of May outlined draconian cuts to critical NOAA programs, the details released on Monday by NOAA confirm a catastrophic hit for the nation’s hurricane forecasting capabilities if approved by Congress.

Massive NOAA cuts could put weather forecasts in peril, lives in danger

Retired federal scientists warn Trump administration's proposed NOAA budget cuts could be costly and harm forecast accuracy.

The Trump administration's plan to dismantle the nation's atmospheric research programs could set U.S. forecasting back a generation or more, a cadre of retired federal hurricane, weather and ocean scientists warns.

The budget proposed by the White House for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is almost half what it was a year ago, and eliminates all funding for the agency's Office of Atmospheric Research, the division that coordinates and conducts weather and climate research across the nation.

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

Exclusive: Climate. Gov which supports public education on climate science, will soon no longer publish new content

A major US government website supporting public education on climate science looks likely to be shuttered after almost all of its staff were fired, the Guardian has learned.

Climate. Gov the gateway website for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa)’s Climate Program Office, will imminently no longer publish new content, according to multiple former staff responsible for the site’s content whose contracts were recently terminated.

650-foot mega-tsunami sends seismic waves around world and satellites captured the action

Greenland’s eastern edge rarely causes a stir, yet instruments across the world lit up at the same time with a slow, steady beat that lasted nine full days.

The pulse rose and fell every ninety-two seconds – far too sluggish for people to feel but strong enough to rattle bedrock from Alaska to Australia. No typical quake behaves that way.

Scientists soon linked the signal to Greenland’s Dickson Fjord, a narrow inlet hemmed in by 3,000-foot cliffs.

Fresh satellite images showed a new scar where a section of mountain had vanished. Something colossal had struck the water and set the fjord in motion.

Hurricane season is upon us, but NOAA and FEMA are not ready

The turmoil at key U.S. agencies threatens everything from forecast quality to storm recovery.

Hurricane season starts June 1, and above-average activity is predicted. But America’s premier agencies for protecting lives and property from these destructive storms – the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration, or NOAA, and the Federal Emergency Management Association, or FEMA – are in unprecedented disarray. The chaos will likely harm hurricane forecast accuracy in 2025, as well as disaster preparation and response.

NOAA reeling from huge staffing losses
Massive staffing losses at NOAA from firings of probationary employees, DOGE buyouts, and early retirements have left at least eight of the 122 National Weather Service offices unable to operate around the clock. Because of the loss of staff, regular twice-per-day upper air balloon soundings – which are typically the most important ingredient in making reliable model weather forecasts (Fig. 1) – have been lost from 18% of the nation’s upper air stations. Some locations have been reduced to once-per-day launches, and a number are doing no launches at all. The Washington Post reports that since March 20, 17% of all U.S. balloon launches that should have occurred have not, mostly because of NOAA staffing losses.

America's summers keep getting warmer

Summers are getting warmer nearly nationwide, a recently updated analysis finds.

Why it matters: Hotter summers are one of the most tangible ways we're experiencing climate change — and they're a health risk for vulnerable groups like children, pregnant women, the elderly and homeless people.

Driving the news: Average summer temperatures between 1970 and 2024 rose in 97% of the 242 cities analyzed in a new report from Climate Central, a climate research group

NOAA says it will discontinue its billion-dollar disaster database

The database has measured the estimated direct costs of major weather disasters in the U.S. since 1980. Information collected so far will remain accessible but will no longer be updated.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday it will archive its database of billion-dollar climate disasters, as the Trump administration reduces the resources available to the agency.

US weather forecasting is more crippled than previously known as hurricane season nears

The National Weather Service is in worse shape than previously known, according to interviews with current and former meteorologists, due to a combination of layoffs, early retirements and preexisting vacancies.

The nation’s forecasting agency is in tatters as what could be a destructive hurricane season nears. Several current and former agency meteorologists told CNN they are concerned forecasts and life-saving warnings are not going to be issued in time.

Responsible for protecting life and property from severe weather impacts, the National Weather Service is headed into hurricane season with 30 of its 122 weather forecast offices lacking their most experienced official, known as the meteorologist-in-charge.

Ocean current expected to warm and could drive up sea level rise, study finds

A sprawling, slow-moving system of ocean currents circulating in the Atlantic that help regulate the earth's temperature is set to deliver a blob of warmer, saltier water off the U.S. coast, according to a new study published in Nature last month.

Over the next decade, scientists warn that as that water persists, sea levels could rise even more and the current could change

A new University of Miami study looked at 40 years worth of data from across the Atlantic and found cooler waters in deep currents off the U.S. coast could be warming.
