But if I did, I would summon them together

Like many storms in recent years, Hurricane Melissa went through a rapid intensification due to persistently warm waters. This will likely continue.
NEW: Sunrise over Hurricane Melissa.
For too many Jamaicans, this will be a life-changing event.
Melissa has now surpassed Hurricane Katrina in strength. It is the 8th strongest hurricane in recorded history.

Having tried to navigate Melbourne’s storms on the new site today, can confirm it is shite. The new radar is particularly awful.

The old site was concise, logical, informative and easily navigated. The new one wallows in white-space and unnecessary sub-menus. Too many clicks required to get to too little information. Whilst the former site needed updating this is not what is required.

Federal regulators have rescinded a requirement that the nation’s largest financial institutions factor climate risks into their long-term planning, a policy dating from the Biden administration.
