NOAA/NCEI Climate at a Glance, contiguous United States. This is the observed record for the month, not a score of anything said in this piece — the forecast ledger begins 2026-08-17 and cannot reach earlier posts.

The National Hurricane Center has resumed its Tropical Weather Outlook (TWO) for the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season for the next 48-hours and 7-days. The official beginning of the season is on June 1st, but recent years have seen activity in May, so reasonable to post an outlook to keep an eye on the tropics.
