SUMMARY: Birmingham has experienced a prolonged dry spell, with no rain for four consecutive weeks, potentially leading to the driest October on record in 2024. Previous low rainfall records were set in 2016 and the 1930s. While the drought monitor indicates that most of central and north Alabama are only experiencing level one drought conditions thanks to above-average rainfall in September, October’s dryness is concerning. Meteorologist Brylee Brown notes that despite expectations for more rain in the coming fall and winter months, La Niña patterns could result in continued dryness and below-average precipitation into November and beyond.

October 2024 could become the driest October on record. Monthly precip normals increase through fall and winter.

SUMMARY: Public health officials in Alabama are warning about a rise in whooping cough cases, particularly at Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa. Dr. Karen Landers from the Alabama Department of Public Health explains that the illness, although old, is resurfacing and can cause severe symptoms, especially in infants and the elderly. Adults should also be aware, as the disease can be severe for those with other health issues. Dr. Colleen Toby Donahue emphasizes the importance of staying up to date on vaccinations and contacting a doctor if symptoms occur. Preventative measures, such as handwashing and staying home when sick, are critical.

It is colloquially known as whooping cough, but doctors know it as pertussis. Confirmed cases of the disease have been reported at Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama in Huntsville, so doctors are urging Alabamians to stay aware.
