NOAA’s GOES-19 satellite captured Hurricanes Imelda (left) and Humberto (right) churning off the U.S. east coast on Sept. 30, 2025 (Credit: NOAA). The Atlantic basin saw 13 named storms in 2024, with four reaching major hurricane status. They were: Andrea, Barry, Chantal, Dexter, Erin, Fernand, Gabrielle, Humberto, Imelda, Jerry, Karen, Lorenzo and  Melissa. Tropical cyclone names are selected by the World Meteorological Organization. (Image credit: NOAA)

Scientists with NOAA and NASA have ranked this year’s ozone hole over the Antarctic as the fifth smallest since 1992 — the year that the Montreal Protocol, a landmark international agreement to phase out ozone-depleting chemicals began to take effect. noaa.gov/news-release...
NOAA technicians launch a weather balloon carrying an ozoneonde, an instrument that measures the annual formation of the Antarctic Ozone Hole.This illustration shows the size and shape of the ozone hole over the South Pole on the day of its 2025 maximum extent (coverage).

NOAA signs agreement to ensure reliable water supply for California agriculture. Agreement supports critical water infrastructure, salmon habitat. Details: www.noaa.gov/news-release...
The win-win agreement includes a modernized water diversion that will provide more reliable water to irrigate local farms and effective fish passage around Daguerre Point Dam on the Yuba River, above. The existing diversion does not provide consistent flows and the dam's poorly functioning fish ladders make it difficult for salmon and other species to access higher-quality habitat.

This map depicts the most likely category (above-, near- or below-normal) for April-May-June 2025 seasonal mean temperatures. Orange/red (blue) colors correspond to favored above-normal (below-normal) temperatures respectively with the darker shades indicating higher likelihoods of that category. White areas labeled EC (Equal Chances) indicate that the odds are equal for each of the three categories.
