Rain and a chilled wind this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — supposedly, showers the rest of today. The UN reported Monday, 2016 will most-likely be the hottest year ever, third record as such in a row. Noted climate scientist Michael Mann of Penn State University (via the Guardian): “It is almost as if mother…
Sunshine and chilly this Sunday morning here on California’s north coast, supposedly no rain until tomorrow evening, and then a decent-sized system will splash through for a couple of days, carrying a cold-front, too. Tis the season… Attempting to seep beyond the T-Rump escapade, early Monday will trigger a lifetime event for me — I…
Thick, wet marine layer blankets California’s north coast this early Thursday — supposedly, the fog will burn-off into a ‘Mostly Sunny‘ day. Hope springs eternal… Yet reality of T-Rump — slim-jim-shit-head Paul Ryan gleefully gushed about the future of our planet: Look, it’s not just the health care law that we can replace, because we…
Overcast and chilly this early Monday on California’s north coast, as the NWS forecasts ‘Mostly Sunny‘ for us today, which I hope becomes reality. Election Day tomorrow can supposedly be considered ‘Partly Sunny‘ for our region, and we can hope. Hopefully, too, T-Rump will be driven ‘completely‘ back down the sewer-hole from which he came, and…
Overcast this early Thursday on California’s north coast, though, the NWS forecasts ‘Partly Sunny‘ for today, and clear tomorrow. The dinky drizzle expected for last night and this morning never even dinked at all, with the next big storm scheduled for Saturday. Beyond the anxiety-driven despair of this election, how about some even worse shit than…
Sunshine this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and supposedly should be another awesome day, clear and dry — yesterday was near-spectacular, even warm late in the afternoon. Some rain, or drizzle probably, forecast for tonight/tomorrow morning, but no real big shit until Saturday. Last month, the region got historically drenched — numbers from Lost Coast…
Steady downpour this early Thursday on California’s north coast — right now with rain coming straight down, the storm is maybe-directly overhead, apparently stalled in barely-noticeable wind. Heavy at times, it’s been raining nearly-continuous since late last night, dousing a lot of water on us. Our weather lately strongly-influenced by moisture from typhoons out of…
Further details on that CO2 item I mentioned in the post earlier today — kind of a landmark, break-point. Per the Guardian: In 2015, for the first time, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere were at 400 parts per million (ppm) on average across the year as a whole, the World Meteorological Organisation’s (WMO) annual…
Rain splashing heavy on a Monday here along California’s north coast, the rainfall accompanied by some blustery winds, a situation supposedly here for awhile. In a Short Term Forecast this morning, the NWS predicts maybe a ‘rainfall rate around half-an-inch-per-hour‘ for some locations along the shoreline, which is a pretty-freaking load. Still a downward wet…
Sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, as apparently we ease out of the wet and into the dry and warm — supposedly above-average temperatures the next couple of days. Rain maybe toward the end of the week. According to five-day rainfall totals from the NWS out this morning, my little spot in Mckinleyville received…
