  • By Nathan Layne, Alexandra Alper and Phil Stewart WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. government agency that provides weather forecasts is planning another round of mass layoffs as part of President Donald Trump's plan to thin the ranks of the U.

The U.S. weather agency, NOAA, is planning to lay off approximately 1,000 employees in a second round of job cuts, following an initial reduction of 300 positions. This decision comes as part of a broader effort to streamline operations and reduce costs, despite the agency's critical role in providing weather forecasts, climate data, and environmental research. The layoffs are expected to impact various departments within NOAA, potentially affecting services like weather prediction, satellite operations, and marine and fisheries management. Critics argue that these cuts could compromise the agency's ability to deliver essential services, especially at a time when accurate weather forecasting and climate monitoring are increasingly vital due to climate change.
