Hot to say the least this Wednesday in California’s Central Valley — just turning 6 PM and it’s still 100-freaking-degrees, and apparently won’t really be tepid until well after dark. Tomorrow the same with a forecast high of 106. Then some cooling through the weekend. Summer, summer hitherto not here… And again today protests across…
Soft breezes and heavy-heat this late-afternoon Tuesday in California’s Central Valley, supposedly 94-degrees right now with nearly three hours of daylight left. Somewhere in the low-80s by dark– tomorrow starts a two-day hot flash: temperatures Wednesday and Thursday reportedly in triple-digits. Hot flashes weather, metaphorically speaking. Those light-yellow flowers top-left of the photo shown, I…
Overcast and mostly quiet this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley. Seemingly, with every day an acceleration of a shitty ride further into calamity. And today no exception: Hysteria over this is natural, but the T-Rump is only playing the only way he knows, with cruelty. This afternoon he staged a photo-op to showcase,…
As the nation becomes violently unglued, the T-Rump is finally feeling some of the distaste the country has for him — interesting situation as relayed by the New York Times this afternoon: Inside the White House, the mood was bristling with tension. Hundreds of protesters were gathering outside the gates, shouting curses at President Trump…
Near mid-day Friday here in California’s Central Valley, and finally a day not so blistering hot — we saw a week of triple-digit temperatures, topping out yesterday at 105-degrees. As of right now ‘just‘ 80, supposedly heading later this afternoon to a high of 95, though, I don’t seen it getting there. A crater-drop in…
Early-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Warm, but not bad with a gentle, cool breeze which keeps the air pleasant and comfortable. We can feel the summer coming, though. Forecast for the next 90 days or so plays out first warmer (today), hot (next week) and then hotter (next month). No shock. Also shouldn’t…
A sunny and breezy early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Big, white clouds, too, and a cool-ish temperature (70-degrees right now) and an unfamiliar feel to the air — we had some fairly-heavy hail yesterday afternoon, and looked like rain this morning. Blogging outside again with a pix of the scene. I’m retired, so…
Overcast and damp this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley. Humid, too, after raining on-and-off nearly all day. Better than the heat and we need the rain. Major news of the day, so far, comes of course from the T-Rump — per The Washington Post this evening: President Trump announced Monday that he is…
Cloudy, humid and a bit of sprinkles this early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley. Another end to a two-day event, which not too long ago was called the ‘weekend,’ but now a week is measured just by days not seeming to end. Idiotic, insane character — the T-Rump tweeted this last night: Today, Bill…
Late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. Sunny and a bit blustery right now, though, overcast and chilly for most of this morning. A lot of cloud cover lately, which keeps the heat down. And outside, beyond the apartment walls America has become some type institution. In the midst of a crippling, deadly pandemic, comes…
