## Resource

Meteorologists Emily Gracey and Kerrin Jeromin welcome the arrival of meteorological spring. In this episode of Weekly Weather Brief , they break down recent lunar eclipse, and explain why the Moon sometimes turns a deep red during a total lunar eclipse. They also dive into the difference between meteorological and astronomical seasons , why weather and climate scientists track seasons differently, and how Earth’s tilt drives the seasonal changes we experience. Plus, Emily and Kerrin explain how hurricane names get retired , highlighting why some storms are permanently removed from the list. The episode wraps up with a quick look at spring climate outlooks and a reminder to spring forward for daylight saving time this weekend. A quick, science-filled rundown of sky events, seasonal shifts, and storm history- all in just 10 minutes!
