coolwx.com

A collection of weather pages with truly unique content since 1994.

UPDATE STATUS: As of August 7, 2025, coolwx.com is back updating after over five months of outage.
This decision was difficult and made in part due to the federal decision to hire 450 NWS employees to partially restore the devastating DOGE firings.
However, this hiring progress is one small step toward eliminating the devastating current and future impacts on NOAA of those cuts.
Thank you to those who wrote to your representatives in DC to speak out, and please continue to do so.
