New State Climate Summaries
NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information and the Cooperative Institute for Satellite Earth System Studies have released an updated set of climate summaries for all 50 US states plus Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. These are comprehensive updates to the summaries released in 2017, with additional data, improved figures, and updated text addressing recent trends and notable climate and weather events across the country.
The new summaries are available on the web and as downloadable PDFs at https://statesummaries.ncics.org/

Grant Will Fund Climate Resilience Strategies for Frontline Communities in the Carolinas
North Carolina State University will lead a multi-institutional effort to develop climate resilience solutions in frontline communities in the Carolinas, thanks to a five-year, $5 million dollar grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Frontline communities refer to communities who experience the first and worst impacts of the climate crisis.

Another big solar eclipse is coming to the US, and NCICS is again partnering with NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information to help eclipse-watchers think about where to be to view the show. We've built an interactive map that shows cloud-cover probabilities for the day and time of the October eclipse, using NCEI's Climate Normals data along with eclipse data from NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration. See the story below for more details, and you can access the interactive mapping tool at ncsu.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=569746736692429dadaabf6a2444a5f1.Looking for a fall activity in the Northern Hemisphere? An annular solar eclipse is set to occur on October 14, 2023. According to NASA, the eclipse will “begin in Oregon at 9:13 a.m. PDT and end in Texas at 12:03 p.m. CDT.”
It doesn’t take a starman waiting in the sky 🎵 to see that this is an event worth attending. Be a trendsetter and prepare early. Our recommendations: purchase solar eclipse eyewear ahead of time, line up your David Bowie playlist, and check out our new interactive map based on typical climate conditions. The map will help inform you on where the best viewability is for the eclipse in your region: bit.ly/Oct23AnnularSolarEclipse North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies - NCICS #Eclipse2023 #NCEIAnnularEclipse
