But we&#8217;re especially interested in sharks and how they&#8217;re impacted by meteorology.<\/p>\n<p>So, we\u2019re celebrating sharks with a week of discovery and exploration into the ocean\u2019s most feared predators, and maybe we\u2019ll be able to convince you not to be so afraid of them along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you can expect this week:<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"180\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"object-contain h-auto w-37.5 m-0\" style=\"color:transparent\"  src=\"https:\/\/weather.com\/_next\/static\/media\/morning-brief-logo.73126316.svg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Weather in your inbox<\/p>\n<p>By signing up you agree to the <a href=\"https:\/\/weather.com\/legal\" class=\"underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Terms<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/weather.com\/en-US\/twc\/privacy-policy\" class=\"underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Policy<\/a>.

Say it isn\u2019t so! Sharks can in fact do a rudimentary form of forecasting, using a biological system that allows them to sense changes in pressure that often come before significant weather events like hurricanes. A Georgia Aquarium aquarist explains how this is possible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/weather.com\/science\/nature\/video\/how-to-keep-6-million-gallons-of-water-shark-safe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img alt=\"2.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"180\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"shadow-md rounded-lg object-contain h-auto w-full\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2_93.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Georgia is pretty far away from the tropics. Yet, somehow, the folks at Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta are able to match gallons of water to the genuine tropical ocean waters near the equator. And while it might not be ideal for us, those waters are perfect for the thousands of animals that live in them.<\/p>\n<p>Coming Wednesday: Fin Fact: 4 Things Shark Specialists Wish You Knew<img alt=\"3.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"180\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"shadow-md rounded-lg object-contain h-auto w-full\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/3_87.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>DESCRIPTION UNLOCKS TUESDAY, JULY 22<\/p>\n<p>Coming Thursday: Climate Change: Warming Oceans And Warning Signs For Sharks<img alt=\"4.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"180\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"shadow-md rounded-lg object-contain h-auto w-full\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/4_78.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>DESCRIPTION UNLOCKS WEDNESDAY, JULY 23<\/p>\n<p>Coming Friday: Join Us On A Journey From Fear To Fascination<img alt=\"5.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"180\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"shadow-md rounded-lg object-contain h-auto w-full\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/5_67.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>DESCRIPTION UNLOCKS THURSDAY, JULY 24<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/weather.com\/bios\/sara-tonks\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sara Tonks <\/a>is a content meteorologist with weather.com and has a bachelor\u2019s and a master\u2019s degree from Georgia Tech in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences along with a master\u2019s degree from Unity Environmental University in Marine Science.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A black-tip shark is seen swimming during a baited shark dive in Umkomaas near Durban, South Africa, on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15348,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[49,48,44,66,323],"class_list":{"0":"post-15347","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wildlife","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-science","12":"tag-wildlife"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15347"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15347\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15348"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
