extreme heatwave
. The
National Weather Service
(NWS) issued a sweeping series of extreme
heat warnings
and advisories amid dangerous temperatures and parts of the Southeast coast could experience the brunt of the sweltering conditions.
Heat advisory for New York
People in New York should brace for another high electricity bill from next month as another wave of heat and humidity is set to envelop the city this week, reports NBC News.
The NWS has issued a heat advisory for New York on Monday and Tuesday that warned of heat index values of up to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. 'These conditions are dangerous to health,' the Notify NYC alert said. The weather department warned that people at highest risk are those who are without air conditioning, people with chronic health conditions and people who work outside.
The heat will begin to build overnight Sunday into early Monday morning and will continue until at least Wednesday, with heat advisories in place for the next three days, the NWS said in an area forecast discussion.

U.S. hurricane forecasters losing critical access to government data
* U.S. hurricane forecasters losing critical access to government data U.S. to suspend data sharing from three meteorological satellites after July * Data loss hinders ability to monitor hurricanes accurately * Hurricane forecasters left using half of previous remote sensing data By Rachel Parsons LOS ANGELES, - Nine months after Hurricane Helene ripped through Shirley Scholl's home in Florida, inundating it with four feet of storm surge and sewage, her family can finally see some rebuilding progress. Crews working on the skinny island of Clearwater Beach just off the coast have started to elevate the remains of the structure more than 13 feet to meet new federal building regulations in response to the devastating hurricane. The disaster in September 2024 killed at least 250 people and caused nearly $79 billion in damages, making it the deadliest hurricane in the U.S. in 20 years, according to the National Weather Service. "We had to take everything in the whole house down to the studs," said Lisa Avram, Scholl's daughter, who is overseeing the reconstruction. But as families rebuild from last year's storms, this year's Atlantic hurricane season is underway, with even more risk than before. Not only do forecasters warn it will likely be busier than average, with three to five "major" hurricanes predicted, but the job of forecasting has become more challenging. The U.S. Department of Defense last month surprised hurricane forecasters by announcing it was suspending data sharing from three of its meteorological satellites, cutting the available data that meteorologists use by about half. The data sharing has helped forecasters accurately pinpoint the size, location and intensity of hurricanes for two decades. "It's all sorts of problematic," said Michael Lowry, a hurricane specialist with television station WPLG in Miami, Florida, and formerly of the National Hurricane Center, part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration . NOAA issued an internal message announcing the service would end no later than June 30. After a last minute intervention by the space agency NASA, NOAA announced the service would extend until no later than July 31 and was being suspended to "mitigate a significant cybersecurity risk." "[The data sets] were really important for telling us how strong a hurricane currently is, but also how strong it might get," Lowry said. These are not run-of-the-mill satellites tracking things from high above the clouds as seen on radar images but operate in low polar orbits using microwaves to 'see into' a hurricane in ways other satellites cannot, according to Lowry. Without them, the ability for forecasters to issue early warnings is hobbled, he said. "With less time to prepare for a hurricane, people can't evacuate. You have a lot more people and lives that are at risk," Lowry said, adding that emergency management services cannot pre-position resources such as search-and-rescue teams that look for survivors. The loss of data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program means the amount of remote sensing information forecasters can access drops by half, Lowry said. With three fewer government satellites available to forecasters, the remaining satellites may only produce information on a strengthening hurricane every six to 12 hours instead of every few hours, giving storms a much bigger window to grow without being observed, he said. Traditional satellites offer limited detail during the day and produce even less at night. "The concern is what many in our community would call a 'sunrise surprise,' where you go to bed at eight o'clock at night and it's a tropical storm," Lowry said. "And we wake up in the morning and it's on the doorstep, and it's a Category Three or Four hurricane," he said. 'GIANT LOSS' Thousands of miles from the tropical hurricane zone, sea ice is closely tracked by the DMSP satellites as well. Climatologists who study polar sea ice and climate change have used these data sets for decades, said Zachary Labe, a climate scientist at the nonprofit research organization Climate Central. Losing access is "quite shocking," Labe said. "These satellites … have really told the story of Arctic climate change for the last almost five decades now," he said. "It's been a real key data for cryosphere science," allowing observation of long-term sea ice variability and trends, he added. Coastal communities such as those in Alaska rely on sea ice information to help prepare for storms and flooding and make decisions about transportation and hunting. Labe said other satellites controlled by countries such as Japan have the same capability. But Japan's systems have not been operating as long, and now there is a "scramble" to match timelines of different satellites so there is no gap in the record. Climate scientists need "more data, not less," and the satellites served a wide variety of climate research, he said. "It's a giant loss," Labe said. A U.S. Navy spokesperson confirmed in an email that DMSP data sharing would end on July 31. The DMSP is scheduled to be discontinued altogether in September 2026," given it "no longer meets our information technology modernization requirements," according to the spokesperson. In Florida, Lisa Avram and her family live day-to-day on tenterhooks. Losing satellite information seems like a "seriously dangerous proposition" for herself and other storm survivors who have their houses in various phases of the elevation. "We're in hurricane season, so when your house is up in the air, they're even more dangerous because they're not secured," she said. "I worry every time the wind blows here if my mom's house is going to be OK." This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Tropical Storm Keli forms, is second cyclone now in central Pacific Ocean
Honolulu (US), Jul 29 (AP) Two tropical cyclones were swirling across the ocean southeast of Hawaii after developing on Monday, but were not expected to cause any issues for the islands. Hurricane Iona is the first named storm of the hurricane season in the central Pacific and emerged Sunday from a tropical depression to become a Category 1 hurricane in roughly a day. It was trekking west over warm, open waters. 'It's pretty high confidence that it's not going to have any direct impacts on the islands," said Derek Wroe with the National Weather Service in Honolulu. The hurricane is centred well south of Hawaii, and an indirect impact will be downward pressure winds from the hurricane, creating dry and breezy conditions. 'There's a lot of upward motion in the hurricane, and then there's usually compensating downward motion," Wroe said. 'That should be the case here as well. So it will be dry, it will be breezy." Those were the conditions that were prevalent when Hurricane Dora also passed well south of the islands in August 2023, and the associated winds led to the conditions that exacerbated the deadliest fire in the US in over a century. The blaze raced through the historic town of Lahaina and resulted in the deaths of 102 people. He said there are concerns that conditions with Hurricane Iona could be at or near red flag criteria. 'That said… wouldn't be anything close to what we saw during that time with Hurricane Dora. The situation is just not that strong," he said. The pressure gradient created by Hurricane Dora created gusts that clocked in at 80 kmph in central Maui and well over 96 kmph on the Big Island. There were no instruments in West Maui two years ago to measure wind. 'We don't expect anything even close to that," he said, with possible localised gusts of over 64 kmph with winds running around 32 kmph. On Monday, Iona was about 1,303 kilometres southeast of Honolulu, the US National Hurricane Centre in Miami said. No coastal watches or warnings were in effect. Iona is expected to strengthen and become a major hurricane on Tuesday before weakening around the middle of the week. The hurricane has maximum sustained winds of about 137 kmph. It was moving in a generally westward direction at about 21 kmph. A second weather system also formed. Tropical Storm Keli had maximum sustained winds of 65 kmph. It was about 1,658 kilometres southeast of Honolulu and was moving west at about 19 kmph. It may strengthen over the next day, but, like Iona, it should lose power around the middle of the week. Wroe said he didn't expect any direct impact from this storm on Hawaii either. The administrator of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency on Monday hosted a statewide conference call with all counties, during which the National Weather Service provided an assessment and status of the storms. 'All counties are monitoring," agency spokesperson Kiele Amundson said in an email. Another indirect impact from these storms could be swells, but Wroe said they are relatively small and moving westward and won't create anything significant. However, a large swell is headed toward Hawaii after being generated several hundred miles east of New Zealand. It's expected to arrive in Hawaii on Thursday, about the same time the storms pass the state. 'People might wrongly attribute the swell energy to be from these tropical systems, but they're actually not," he said. He anticipates a high surf advisory to be issued for the south shores of the Hawaiian Islands, with a surf of 10 feet or higher.
