Climate change can never be over emphasized, this changes happened with the activities we carry out, science cant be ruled out when talking about climate change, it has so many advantages as it has improved the way of life but its disadvantages are not looked into.

I agree with you @Precious0914 that not enough is being done. When I have some free time I'm going to do more googling to see what the world is not doing enough of.

Hey @Elsa , you've been quick as a tornado in researching and writing. Beautiful story, full of well exposed informations.
As you mentioned, the situation has changed quickly: the hurricane season has started earlier for some years now, and 30 hurricanes were named last year instead of the 21 foreseen by calendar.
This doesn't seem to end: as you said, Elsa is the earliest fifth named-storm.
To make a comparison, Erika, the "previous Elsa" whose name got retired after hitting the Caribbean coast ( expecially Dominica, and Lesser Antille) in 2015, formed around August, 24 and dissipate on early September.
In just six years, everything has moved two months in advance.
A quick adaptation to those new climatic conditions is required before something serious happens.

This is how the campsite where I live was after a tornado in October 2019
It is just a sample. It was horrible

I work for a private company that sells weather stations. I install them and I do maintenance of those machines.
I'm a technician, I work mainly on the hardware part (barometers, rain gauges, solarimeters, all those kind of components.)
Some meteorologists collaborate with us and occasionally they give us internal courses.
There are also cases where we need to team up: for example, an institution which takes care of a big park needs customized and advanced forecasts, because they have to make a new sowing of plants.
In this case, the meteorologist (who is basically a specialized phisicist, better rated if he's skilled on maths and statistics and if he has thick glasses), works with math models based on the data sent by the machine, while I have to interact with the station as a help desk (if the machine freezes while extracting data it's me to reset parameters, sending inputs and get mad, for example.)
Those occasions are good to learn a lot about the weather and the atmosphere, just talking.

Oh Wow, your job sounds very interesting! So your company sells these weather stations to the meteorologists? Are those people the ones who predict the weather or are they looking more for storms?
