About this episode
What's the weather like in your area? Chances are you took a look at your preferred weather app on your phone before heading outside.
We can find that information easily because of weather data that comes from the National Weather Service. It's a part of the federal agency NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The Trump Administration plans to cut billions of dollars from NOAA in its upcoming 2026 budget plans.
The cuts could result in a remaking of the agency and eliminate much of the research it conducts that Americans use every day.
We discuss how the loss of NOAA could affect our day to day.
