Hotter-than-normal summertime heat is back
SUMMARY: Meteorological summer began June 1 and astronomical summer started June 20, with much of the U.S. expecting a hotter-than-normal season. Since 1970, summers have warmed an average of 2.6°F across 97% of 242 analyzed cities, with the Northwest and Southwest experiencing the most extra hot days. Austin’s summers have risen nearly five degrees since 1970, with recent years among its hottest. June 2025 temperatures are above average, continuing a trend of 50+ days hotter than normal annually. Heat, driven by greenhouse gases from transportation and industry, causes dangerous extremes and is the leading weather-related death cause in the U.S., with 2,325 deaths in 2023.

Tropical update: Tracking two disturbances for possible development
SUMMARY: Tropical waves in the Atlantic basin are being closely monitored this week. One wave near the coast of Africa has a 50% chance of developing over the next seven days, while another in the central Atlantic has about a 20% chance and may fizzle out. A possible secondary wave could form near Africa as well. This pattern aligns with typical Atlantic hurricane season trends, which are quiet in June and July, peak around September 10th, and decline through October. Both the Euro and GFS models currently keep these disturbances north of the Caribbean, but rain chances and isolated storms will continue into next week.
Invest AL96 and AL97 are churning in the Atlantic as the peak of hurricane season approaches.

Texas migrant detention center to be largest in US
SUMMARY: The U.S. military is constructing Camp East Montana at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, which will be the largest federal migrant detention center in U.S. history. Initially housing 1,000 migrants awaiting deportation, it will expand to 5,000 beds. The Army has spent $232 million so far, with a $1.24 billion contract awarded to Acquisition Logistics for the facility. Earlier plans to detain migrants at Guantanamo Bay were halted due to unmet ICE housing standards. Currently, 33 high-threat and eight low-threat migrants remain at Guantanamo. The White House has not commented on the tent infrastructure status.
The Fort Bliss, El Paso, center will be the largest in US history.
