Some places in Jamaica will receive more rainfall from hurricane Melissa than London or Paris receives in a year!
It’s noteworthy that scientists and technicians from NOAA’s National Hurricane Center who are tracking the storm are not being paid because of the Republican government shutdown.

New paper. I wish this wasn't the case, but most progress on reducing US greenhouse gas emissions is likely spurious. Why? EPA underestimates methane emissions from oil and gas. Relevant today as Repubs vote to gut IRA's methane monitoring/mitigation program. 🧵
