Heading out to the beach today? ⛱️
Use extra caution given the Moderate to High rip current risk from Florida to Maine today (October 2). Try to find a beach with lifeguards - and when in doubt, don't go out!

Swells and high surf from Imelda are expected to produce dangerous marine conditions and rip currents along much of the East Coast of the United States during the next several days.

Rip currents can sweep even the strongest swimmer away from shore. If at all possible, stay near a lifeguard while swimming. Learn more at: weather.gov/beach

Swimming without a lifeguard increases your chance of drowning, but not all beaches have lifeguards. If you’re visiting a beach without a lifeguard, follow these tips to swim safely, and remember, when in doubt, don’t go out. weather.gov/beach 🏖️

For 22-27th February 2026, AGU Ocean Science Meeting will be coming to Glasgow. It'll be at the SECC right on the banks of the river Clyde. So the burning question is "what will the tide be?" #OSM26 🧵 1/4

NEW: i spoke to nine (!) scientists across several disciplines whose work was cited in the new Department of Energy report that downplays the severity of climate change. all of them say their work was misrepresented, cherry picked, and/or lacked context —
Scientists Say New Government Climate Report Twists Their Work
A new Department of Energy report “fundamentally misrepresents” climate research and leaves out key context, multiple scientists cited in the report tell WIRED.

Spoke with the Times today about rip current safety. We have already had at least 36 surf zone drownings in the US this year. Please stay safe on your next trip to the beach.
How to stay safe from rip currents, and what to do if you’re caught in one.
Rip Current Survival Tips: What to Do if You Get Caught in One
From land, a rip current can appear relatively calm, as a strip of water that extends out between breaking waves. Its appearance can be deceiving.

NOAA is hemorrhaging personnel, NWS offices are short-staffed by as much as 60%, workers are living in fear of losing their jobs, afraid of political retribution for speaking out, and they think gaslighting the entire weather community is an effective PR strategy? There is no joy in Mudville.
The statement from NOAA:
Through strategic transformation, staff reallocation, and updated service standards, NWS is ensuring resilience and continuity of mission-critical functions. Reports suggesting otherwise are false and disrespectful.
