No matter the forecast, our planet's animals always seem to have it figured out. Here's some examples of wildlife with wild relationships with the weather (say that five times fast)!

Many animals seem to be able to predict the weather.
One example is frogs, who are said to croak louder when a storm is brewing πΈ βοΈ
However, our favorite furry forecaster will always be Punxsutawney Phil!
@JimCantore@JenCarfagno Ever wondered what animals do when it rains? They can't exactly grab an umbrella β
Some, like rabbits, will burrow underground to stay dry π°
@JimCantore@JenCarfagno While you might head inside to seek the AC on a hot day π‘οΈ, cold-blooded creatures like snakes will take advantage of the warmth by basking in the sun!
They'll soak up the rays on a heat-absorbing surface like a rock π
@JimCantore@JenCarfagno On the contrary, cold weather can make some animals get the heck outta town!
Whether they spend their time in the skies or in the seas, many different species will migrate to warmer areas when it gets chilly. You're probably familiar with geese flying south for the winter βοΈ
@JimCantore@JenCarfagno That's all for now, but we're sure we missed a ton! Reply below with your knowledge about how wildlife interacts with the weather β¬οΈ

Fall has arrived! π To celebrate the #FirstDayOfFall, we've made a list of all the ways you can get outside and enjoy what many praise as the best weather of the year!

ππ Apple picking ππ
We can't think of a better (or tastier!) socially-distanced outing. Put on your flannel, search for your nearest orchard, and get to picking! Send us a pie, please π₯§
π Pumpkin carving π
No front porch is complete without a classic jack-o'-lantern! Bonus points if you carve a TWC logo π
#Sally continues its slow & dangerous trek inland. With max sustained winds at 105 mph, it remains a Cat 2 storm, battering the Gulf Coast with hurricane-force winds and heavy rain.
Sally's northern eyewall has made it onshore; landfall is expected w/in the next 1-2 hours or so
Several feet of storm surge is likely as winds from #Sally push water onshore.
Catastrophic and life-threatening flooding also continues as slow-moving #Sally drops inches of rain across portions of the Gulf Coast states. Several inches of rain, perhaps localized amounts of 20"+, is yet to come.
We're declaring today #MarsMonday! In anticipation of our LIVE coverage of the historic @NASAPersevere launch Wednesday and Thursday, let's look at some fascinating facts about the Red Planet's weather...

@NASAPersevere A year on Earth is 365 days, but what about Mars? One year on Mars would be equivalent to 687 Earth days, but 668 "sols" (Mars days)! One sol is about 39 minutes longer than an Earth day.
@NASAPersevere Therefore, seasons on Mars are much longer than ours! Would you rather have 65 extra days of winter, or 85 extra days of summer?
Last night, we had survival instructor (and host of our show, SOS: How to Survive) Creek Stewart on @wunderground to talk about clever hacks to beat the heat!

@wunderground 1οΈβ£ Focus on your pulse points! A wet bandana around your neck can really cool you down.
2οΈβ£ Power out from summer storms? Here's how to build a non-electric AC!
