Reminder warmest != hottest when it comes to summer temperatures across the Lower 48 nowhere does NOAA say "hottest summer on record" so don't misquote them (or lie about it)

It looks like a lock. 🔒 We are witnessing history in the making. There have been no hurricanes in the North Atlantic so far this year. 🌀 September 10th (Thursday) marks the climatological peak of the Atlantic hurricane season. And if we make it through Friday without one forming, which appears to be a lock now, it will be the first time in the satellite era (since 1966) that we have gotten this far into the calendar year without one hurricane formations in the Atlantic basin. In fact, the last time that this happened was in 1941, but the lack of satellite observations mean that it is very likely we missed a hurricane or two out over open water that didn't make landfall and/or come into contact with an unfortunate ship. If by some miracle we make it through September 21st without one, it will be the first time since 1914 (the only year other than 1907 where no hurricanes formed that season that we know of). But climatology is not in our favor, even with El Niño increasing the deep-layer vertical wind shear (change in wind speed or direction with height) in the 250–850 mb layer. For non-weather geeks / non-meteorologists, shear suppresses tropical cyclone intensification because it tilts the storm's vortex, knocking the low-level center out of alignment with its mid- and upper-level convection. Shear imports low-entropy (cooler/drier) air into the storm's warm core, which dries the eyewall out, and causes the heat engine that keeps a cyclone organized to break down.

"Climate Crisis" is such an utterly lazy, cultish, unscientific, overused, meaningless phrase. It becomes religion for people who have no knowledge on the subject and that's sad to see.
