The devastation that Hurricane Helene caused in Asheville, NC, and surrounding areas has significantly impacted operations at NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI, www.ncei.noaa.gov).
A number of NCEI’s websites and systems are down, and at present, NOAA does not have a timeline for when they will be fully back up and running again. Work to restore affected sites and systems is underway. Some data products used by other websites, such as Climate.gov and Drought.gov, are also being affected. (Please note: NOAA’s weather.gov and weather forecasting products are not affected by this partial outage.)
We appreciate your patience while our teams restore our systems and are sorry for the inconvenience.
Our thoughts are with the people of western North Carolina, including affected NOAA staff, and all of those who are dealing with the unprecedented aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
