We Apologise for This Temporary Breakdown in our Breakdown

Various sets of initials have come together in a meaningful internal pushback process as regards hurricane warnings. In the spirit of their climate change policy of expunging the term from public discourse, the POTUS and his head-tribble had given a week's notice that relevant satellite data would no longer be made available to forecasters, who might have subjected it to a pessimistic and un-great interpretation; but at the last minute they replayed the trade-war shtick that went over so well a while ago and postponed the cut-off by a month. The excuse of a cybersecurity risk was retrospectively thrown in, though whether some silly SoD has been group-chatting about the weather remains as yet unleaked. The postponement means that NOAA will still receive data from the DoD's DMSP via FNMOC thanks to a request from NASA to CNMOC; but only until the end of July which, once the season gets going, will leave hurricane-prone states securely at the mercy of the USA's BFF, YHVH.
