Sara expected to dissipate over the Yucatan Peninsula in 4-5 days

What the month did

November 2024 was the 8th-warmest November in the 131-year national record (1895–2025), at 45.1°F against a 1991–2020 normal of 43.0°F (+2.2°F).

November 2024 was the 13th-wettest November in the 131-year national record (1895–2025), at 3.0in against a 1991–2020 normal of 2.3in (+0.8in).

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.

NOAA has strong bipartisan support and will likely see a budget increase rather than dismantling or whatever is described in Heritage’s Project 2025 blueprint.

The NY Times is among several outlets that are in a frenzy over the potential for Trump’s new NOAA leadership to hide/delete weather and climate data. This is similar to nonsense pushed in late 2016 but unscrupulous folks looking to grift off resistance vibes. NOAA leadership in Trump 2.0 most certainly will not do anything in Project 2025, but instead build upon the wins in the first term, and accelerate weather prediction improvements.
