But what about El Niño?!?!

The effects of El Niño are typically stronger in the hemisphere experiencing winter. This means that it isn't likely El Niño will have a strong influence on the North American Monsoon Season.

Monsoon Awareness Week: We don't have much water here in our area, but if you're planning on going to Elephant Butte or some other lake in the Southwest, it's important to know the potential hazards for boating and other water-related activities. #monsoon2k23 #nmwx #txwx

#NMwx Monsoon Awareness Week: Today's topic is safe boating during the Monsoon.

Are you planning a boating excursion this summer? Before you go out on the water, check the forecast and ensure your boat has the essential & required safety equipment & communications tools. #Monsoon2k23

#NMwx Grab that life jacket & "Wear It!"

Nearly 85% of those who drown while boating were not wearing a life jacket.

Wearing a life jacket is one of the most effective and simple life-saving strategies for safe recreational boating. #Monsoon2k23

#NMwx Weather can make your time on the water wonderful or deadly.

It is vital to know how to respond to t-storms and/or rapid wind shifts and other dangerous weather.

T-storms can develop quickly & create dangerous wind & wave conditions. #Monsoon2k23

#NMwx Boaters should use extra caution when t-storm conditions exist & have a plan of escape.

If you do venture out & recognize t-storms nearby, head to shore & find a safe shelter ASAP.

Ultimately, boating safety begins ashore with planning and training. #Monsoon2k23

Wildfires can spread quickly — by the time one is nearby, you may not have much time. Stay #WeatherReady by preparing ahead of time. Ready your home, have an evacuation plan, and prepare an emergency supply kit. https://weather.gov/safety/wildfire #Monsoon2k23

What causes wildfires to spread? The main culprits are dry vegetation, strong winds, high temperatures, and drought conditions. To stay #WeatherReady and protect yourself from wildfires, visit https://weather.gov/wildfire #WildfireScience #Monsoon2k23

Monsoon Awareness Week: The weeks prior to the moist onset of the Monsoon are often critical for wildfire development & growth, as fuel conditions (grasses, tree canopy, shrubs, etc.) are usually driest. #Monsoon2k23

Burn scars from wildfires increase the risk of debris flows, which can destroy homes in their paths. Be aware of your surroundings and stay #WeatherReady by having multiple ways to receive weather alerts. https://weather.gov/safety/flood #Monsoon2k23
