flag NWS plans to hire 125 new staff to enhance hurricane season readiness after significant layoffs.

flag The National Weather Service plans to hire about 125 new meteorologists and specialists to bolster staffing amid concerns over an active hurricane season. flag This hiring follows the loss of over 560 employees due to layoffs and early retirements, which led to some offices reducing hours or not staffing overnight shifts. flag The new hires aim to improve weather forecasting and data collection, such as weather balloon launches, which have been affected by staffing shortages. flag Despite these efforts, the NWS is still seeking broader hiring authority to recover from previous staffing cuts.
