Fog-bound again this near-noon Tuesday on California’s north coast — another day in the life as sunshine expected for the afternoon, and some wind, too. Beyond the climate-change-inducing wildfires and massive rainfall, the down-under of our planet is also wrecking the environment — a recent paper led by James Hansen outlines ‘a dire scenario‘ in…
Fog this early Monday on California’s north coast — Duh! Our summer weather pattern continues, but supposedly should be a bit cooler. Preliminary rainfall totals for last month from the NWS shows my little area was 203-percent of normal for July — definitely not our rainy season, but, a nasty-indicator of shitsville. Dry continues — the…
Sunshine peeling-away the fog, here just short of noon Wednesday on California’s north coast. This afternoon’s forecast ‘Mostly Sunny‘ by the NWS, and the repetitive natural continues… And what’s not of nature is rising temperatures — eastward just a short space from where I’m located, heat increases. Although we along the shoreline were in the…
Foggy-damp and chilly this near-noon Tuesday on California’s north coast — opposite poles for the interior, as Willow Creek could top 107-degrees today. Hot doesn’t feel the heat… No wonder, the whole-wide-world is heating — last month was the hottest July (and/or month) ever. Via Climate Central this morning The reign of record hot months in…
Deep, moist gray this early Monday on California’s north coast as our daily pattern of marine-fog continues, a situation pretty-much summed-up on WunderBlog‘s weather thingy: ‘Today is forecast to be nearly the same temperature as yesterday.’ And most-likely, all the other environmental-ingredients as well, too. Although damp here, in Lake County this morning, the so-named…
Treat from the skies starting tonight — the annual Perseids meteor shower. Anthony Lydgate back-grounding at the New Yorker this afternoon: The Perseids keep their annual schedule so well that in the nineteenth century they were known as the Tears of St. Lawrence, since they stream through the sky most abundantly around August 10th, the holy…
Overcast-gray this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — forecast calls for it to be cooler than yesterday, and right now the air feels it. Ground shakers-swarm yesterday down in Lake County — according to the USGS, a 5.1 earthquake near Upper Lake has apparently spawned at least four smaller quakes in its wake. Two…
Patchy fog this Monday morning on California’s north coast, yet on occasion, sunshine makes half-hearted attempts to slice through the gray, but mostly haphazard at best — might clear before noon maybe. Unless something weird occurs, we should end up with another pleasant day along the shoreline, and somewhat cooler temperatures inland, opposed to the…
Sunshine this afternoon, tempered with cool ocean breezes. Too much temperature — on Wednesday a crucial environment story, an anthrax outbreak in Siberia (via NPR): ‘Officials don’t know exactly how the outbreak started, but the current hypothesis is almost unbelievable: A heat wave has thawed the frozen soil there and with it, a reindeer carcass…
Misty ground fog this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — a couple of hours ago, from all appearances, we were going to be treated to a lately-rare sunshine morning, with clear skies eastward, and the first, startling rays of sunlight topping the mountains. However, this tale has been told. Shoreline weather has a life…
