Advocates want to name heatwaves like hurricanes to raise awareness of dangers
I am not a fan. We’re heading to naming all the major weather which happens often and is just going to desensitize people.The NOAA already doesn’t recognize winter storm names and I would expect them to use the same rationale for not naming heat waves, cold waves or any other extreme weather events that don’t bring destruction. (Not arguing against the danger of heatwaves).
