Why Are My Weather Posts Missing From Facebook.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to let you know that my Facebook page was shut down without any warning by Facebook this past Saturday, June 8th. All I was told was that I had violated their community standards. I don't know what triggered that; they didn't tell me. I was told this may be permanent or for six months.
My guess is that it may be because I posted several comments and articles from my Substack page about the riots in LA, and that must have triggered/angered someone, and they complained, thus Facebook shut me down. I don't know this as fact, though. I have appealed this decision, and I'm still waiting for their reply. I have read on X that this has happened to other Facebook users posting about the LA riots as well.
I always share my weather blog posts (that I post here) on my Facebook page and my X page. This included over twelve different New Mexico and West Texas Facebook Community sites. So there are thousands of you out there (based on my views and shares of those posts) who will no longer see those posts. My Facebook page may or may not be restored.
This is another good reason (as the National Weather Service often reminds us) to have multiple ways of receiving severe weather alerts when severe weather threatens your location. My weather web page is one of those ways, and I really appreciate all of you who have and still do use it. Thank you so much!!!
If my Facebook page is restored, I will continue to share my weather blog posts and some of the NWS Watches and Warnings...as I have been doing for years now.

How Hot Has This Summer Been So Far?

Image
June 26, 2024. Ruidoso, New Mexico. Looking West At Sierra Blanca Peak. Granted it has been a hot summer so far (June & July). But not nearly as hot as you might think when you look at the local long-range historical climate records. Not a single National Weather Service (NWS) Climate Co-Op Station or Airport ASOS/AWOS Station, has recorded a daily high temperature so far this summer that has made it into the top 30 all-time high-temperature list. We still have a lot of summer left so it is possible that some of the high temperatures listed below may be exceeded.  The Roswell Airport ASOS broke their previous daily record high temperature of 105F set on July 4th in 2016 with a high this 4th of July of 107F . This makes it the hottest 4th of July temperature ever recorded in Roswell.  Listed below are some of the local official highest daily temperatures reached so far this year.
