Weather Services Layoffs Cripple Hurricane warnings

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on a troubling development as hurricane season begins: key National Weather Service offices across the Gulf Coast and Puerto Rico are understaffed. Citing The Guardian, McIntyre notes that cutbacks and a shortage of meteorologists in cities like Miami, Jacksonville, Houston, and San Juan could significantly impact storm preparedness. He warns that with fewer weather experts in place, communities face heightened risks from increasingly severe storms.
