Despite forecasts for a busy season, July’s hurricane activity was quiet, likely due to Saharan dust. August’s still holds promise for more storms as conditions improve.

After severe thunderstorms hit Chicago's O'Hare Airport on Monday, flights were heavily delayed or canceled. While airports may not appreciate the intense storms, aviation does aid weather forecasts with data collected from airports and planes.

Hurricanes are known for producing extreme wind and flooding, but the tornado threat post landfall is often forgotten about. Hurricane Beryl caused many tornadoes and severe weather across the US this week.

Beryl broke many records in the last week, including the strongest June hurricane on record and earliest Category 5 on record.
