| I am updating links on my site and just noticed. Maybe it's been mentioned here. Weather Underground's Category 6 blog ended June 19th. Bob Henson was blogging there. Jeff Masters' blog ended June 8 at Scientific American. (where he blogged from October 2019 to June 2020) Jeff Masters now blogs here: https://yaleclimateconnections.org/section/eye-on-the-storm/ And Bob Henson will join him at times. Quote from Jeff Masters in one of the entries below: "I'm particularly excited that Bob Henson has agreed to join in and pitch in during the peak part of hurricane season." And another: "Since my two homes for blogging are both permanently shutting down this month - the Scientific American blog network, which shut down on June 8, and the Cat6 blog, where Bob Henson will make his final post on June 19 - I have established a new blogging home." June 9th announcement about the Category 6 blog ending: https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/end-of-an-era-category-6-to-close-shop-this-month Jeff Masters posts a little at the end of this post about it on June 12th: https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/may-2020-earths-warmest-may-on-record Final blog entry from June 19th: https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/category-6-sets-its-sights-over-the-rainbow The following is from a June 10th article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2020/06/10/weather-company-layoffs-category-6/ "The Weather Company, which operates the popular websites Weather.com and Weather Underground, and offers forecast and weather graphics services to many industries, has slashed dozens of jobs, part of a wave of large-scale layoffs imposed by its parent company, IBM. The layoffs were announced internally May 21, and the last day for affected workers is June 22." "Most recently, the Category 6 blog has been run by meteorologist and weather journalist Bob Henson, who is among those laid off. Henson confirmed that updates to the blog will cease after June 22, when he departs." |
