Say hi and bye to #Andrea πŸ‘‹ πŸŒ€

The first named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is already on its way out. Located in the central Atlantic, Andrea briefly reached winds of 40 mph but is expected to fizzle out in the next few hours.

From the Midwest to the East Coast, millions across the U.S. are sweltering through a heat wave πŸ₯΅

A persistent heat dome is trapping hot air and sending heat index values soaring past 100Β°F. The intense heat is expected to last through midweek.

Satellite imagery shows thick smoke billowing from wildfires on Greece’s #Chios island, where strong winds and heat have fueled fast-moving flames πŸ”₯πŸ‡¬πŸ‡· Villages have been evacuated as crews battle to protect forests and mastiha tree groves.

#Erick was the earliest major hurricane landfall in Mexico since records began, and that includes both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

This is Erick’s full development and journey from a potential tropical cyclone to a category 4 major hurricane, then landfall over Oaxaca, Mexico at category 3 strength with 125 mph (205 km/h) winds, and then weakening to a tropical storm.
