"And if we're not collecting data in important places, then I think that risks your hurricane forecast suffering."It's difficult to say whether this will become apparent this year – a lot will depend on exactly where and when hurricanes hit.

But it also has potential implications for weather forecasting further afield in the world, which the Trump administration argues has become too reliant on the US."You need good information on the state of the atmosphere and the oceans from the whole world to make weather forecasts for any given location on Earth," warned Dr Swain."The impacts [of cuts to NOAA] are most concentrated in the United States, but will eventually cascade beyond the US should they continue at their current level or further expand."

In a press conference, NOAA acting administrator Laura Grimm said that NOAA had the best scientists and continued to make advances in forecasting, and remained committed to protecting the public.to keep up with the latest climate and environment stories with the BBC's Justin Rowlatt.

The world could see hugely damaging sea-level rise of several metres or more over the coming centuries even if the ambitious target of limiting global warming to 1.5C is met, scientists have warned.

Nearly 200 countries have pledged to try to keep the planet's warming to 1.5C, but the researchers warn that this should not be considered "safe" for coastal populations., where heatwaves can last longer than other areas of the country.

Oceans have absorbed 90% of the excess heat created by humans burning fossil fuels, and as a result have warmed overall by 1C."Before we started having this exceptional weather this spring, the waters were already in a hotter state," says Dr Berthou.

In the North Atlantic, sea surface temperatures have been increasing by around 0.3C per decade over the last 40 years, according to the Met Office.The long spell of warm, dry weather is expected to break slightly this weekend.
