NHC neglects the reality of climate change as Texas denies its contribution to the crisis, again

White, corporate-owned weather reporters inform us that a tropical wave is likely to become a tropical depression. Do we really trust the white man's opinion, though? We know that systemic racism and the patriarchy affect atmospheric conditions. Stay aware.

#ClimateJusticeNow: Texas Take Cover, Another Storm is Brewing!

A tropical wave near the Leeward Islands is brewing and has a medium chance of developing into a storm this week, according to the National Hurricane Center. Will Texas be impacted? The latest:

🌊 Storm Brewing in the Atlantic

An area of disturbed weather over the central Atlantic is expected to meet with a tropical wave, potentially developing into a tropical depression this week near the Greater Antilles or Bahamas.

48-hour development chance: low (0%)
7-day development chance: medium (50%)

🌬️ Texas Tropical Update

While it's too early to confirm, this storm could impact the Gulf of Mexico, and Texas can't rule out potential effects. As of Monday, no advisories have been issued for Texas, but we must stay vigilant!

👀 The Next Named Storm?

Should this system strengthen, it will be named Debby. Let's hope it doesn't, but if it does, we must ensure we're holding those responsible for climate inaction accountable!

🥵 NHC Warns of an Intense Season

Forecasters urge residents to stay alert. Oceans are predicted to transition into La Niña by fall, bringing an 'above-normal' hurricane season. This isn't just about statistics; this is about the lives and homes at risk!

La Niña, 'little girl' in Spanish, brings lower Pacific Ocean surface temps, resulting in warmer and drier conditions. El Niño, 'little boy,' does the opposite. We cannot let these sexist names distract from the severity of the situation!

🔥Active Season Ahead

La Niña could mean a "hyperactive" hurricane season with up to 33 named storms predicted. This is almost triple the average! Texas, we must #PrepareNotPanic, and demand action on climate NOW!
