Scientists, educators, farmers and the broader public now have a new website for climate information in the United States. The site, Climate.us, launched this week and fills a void left when a government-run climate information website was shut down last year by the Trump administration.
The new site was created by former employees of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) — the government’s lead scientific agency for climate, weather and ocean monitoring — who worked on Climate.gov until they were laid off last year as part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cutbacks…
The new site re-creates the old “climate dashboard” on the government site that contained more than a dozen key graphs related to climate change. It also features Climate.gov’s 15-year collection of climate news and stories, expert blogs, visual status reports on key climate indicators, maps and data pathways, climate literacy resources and classroom materials, according to the site…

I have added Climate.us to my weather links. Obviously, climate and weather have Macroeconomic impact. There’s a big El Nino weather pattern shaping up right now that will increase extreme weather and impact agriculture in different ways depending on location.
We have a heat advisory for tomorrow in Sequim, WA. The temperature is forecast to go up to 88 degrees. That’s unusual since our summer temperatures are generally below 70 degrees and the August average peaks at 72 degrees with low humidity. Sequim has one of the mildest weather patterns in the U.S. since our winter average low is 37 degrees. This is a climate for people who like it cool but never really very cold.
