In contrast to the last few days, heavy fog this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast, but the surreal blob of sun staring out of the gloom seems to indicate all this will burn off before too long. Rain is still expected for tomorrow night and Saturday, and now cooler temperatures are supposed to…
As we luxuriate here in a sweet summer-like day… We as humans ain’t ready — via Phys.org this morning and ‘…a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, outlining what they describe as the dangers of living in an “eternal summer.” By artificially changing the environment we live in, they argue, we…
Overcast right now this Monday morning as the culprit-fog burns off after moisturizing the landscape. The NWS claims today is supposed to be ‘mostly sunny,’ but currently the environment is damp and gloomy. Not so for down south (via the LA Times): ‘Temperatures Sunday reached 100 degrees in downtown Los Angeles, San Fernando and Burbank,…
Drizzle-as-rain this Saturday morning on California’s north coast, and although the liquid fog is barely moist, it’s still wet.

Bright sunshine and a warm breeze this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and although there’s a ‘slight’ chance of rain for this weekend, the odds are fairly low.

Supposedly, the effect is to last into the afternoon. Good news as there’s a fairly-decent chance of rain this Saturday, though, like all other pronouncements in that regard,…
Seemingly unusually-warm, at least to me, this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast — just a bit earlier, taking my daughter’s dog for her afternoon constitutional also carried a sense of close-to-hot. On a news surf just now, the Guardian‘s front page gave my shoreline-spot temperature as 83-degrees. I figured no-freaking-way. According to the Eureka…
Overcast with thick fog this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, and with the month of October, the fall season is apparently becoming more settled, with winter a short, hot-tamale away. Heat the chart-topper: According to WXshift, the autumn season for our shoreline region up here has been warming-up since the early 1970s — in…
Considered ‘partly cloudy’ just after the noon hour here on California’s north coast with maybe some sunshine for later. Rain forecast for the end of next week, but we’ll just wait and see… In the meantime, we’re up to our necks in what’s called ‘background ozone,’ and it’s not good.
