July 2023 was the warmest July on record. Ocean surface temperatures were record warm for the fourth month in a row.

The gush of water that poured down the Mendenhall River near Juneau on August 4-6 did "decades worth" of erosion in a single weekend.

Over two days in early August 2023, a glacial lake broke through its ice dam and poured floodwater into the Mendenhall River near Juneau.

The chance that El Niño will continue through the winter is greater than 95%. What's behind the forecast? And what could El Niño mean for global temperatures?

Record-breaking heat waves hit the Southwest during July.

How cool does it usually get overnight during this month? Based on daily observations from 1991-2020, colors on the map show the long-term average minimum temperature, sometimes referred to as “the overnight low,” in 5x5 km grid cells for the month displayed. The map reveals the average of overnight low temperatures during the month over the previous three decades.

What is the long-term average temperature for this month? Based on daily observations from 1991-2020, colors on the map show the long-term average mean temperature in 5x5 km grid cells for the month displayed. The maps show mean temperatures—the arithmetic average between the highest and lowest temperature in a 24-hour period—averaged together over the month for the previous three decades.

How warm do afternoons usually get during this month? Based on daily observations from 1991-2020, colors on the map show the long-term average maximum temperature, sometimes referred to as the daytime or afternoon high, in 5x5 km grid cells for the month displayed. The map reveals the average of daytime high temperatures during the month over the previous three decades.

Accurate hurricane track and intensity forecasts are crucial for early preparation, but hurricane models have trade offs. High-resolution models improve hurricane intensity prediction than low-resolution models, but the high-resolution models are more prone to errors.
