By John MoralesThe Trump regime’s chaotic approach to so-called efficiency in the federal workforce has wreaked havoc upon the National Weather Service and its parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NWS was already short staffed before the new administration came into power. Now hundreds more NOAA and NWS employees have been fired.

This story was originally published by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. This isn’t what I had in mind when I studied Edward Lorenz’s chaos theory. Lorenz was a mathematician and meteorologist perhaps most famous for his description of the “butterfly effect,” which poses that small changes in initial conditions can produce large changes in long-term results.

The 2024 hurricane season is ending. It was catastrophically impactful. The backloaded season ended with seven hurricanes forming in six weeks between Sept. 25 and Nov. 5 - the most ever observed for this period. Four of those were major hurricanes: Helene, Kirk, Milton and Rafael. Twelve named storms formed after the climatological peak of the season in early September. The season also featured a record-breaking start, followed by a peak-season lull.
