NOAA forecasters increase Atlantic hurricane season prediction to ‘above normal’
Likelihood of greater activity rises due to record-warm sea surface temperatures
University of Hawaii, NOAA to gather climate change data following Mauna Loa eruption
NOAA will partner with the University of Hawaii (UH) to collect atmospheric measurements at the Maunakea Observatoriesoffsite link on the Big Island of Hawaii. These measurements will provide records of global carbon dioxide (CO2) similar to those gathered for more than six decades at NOAA’s Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO), and will provide key information to track global climate change.

NOAA predicts another active Atlantic hurricane season
May 20, 2021 – NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center is predicting another above-normal Atlantic hurricane season. Forecasters predict a 60% chance of an above-normal season, a 30% chance of a near-normal season, and a 10% chance of a below-normal season. However, experts do not anticipate the historic level of storm activity seen in 2020.
NOAA scientists use drones to see tornado damage in remote areas
