Along with earth experiencing blistering heat coming from a blistering sun, some more ugly news might also be on the agenda today with a possible major solar flare/storm striking our planet, hopefully, low on the danger zone with maybe some device disruptions and some great night skies. Although it’s pointed toward today it could happen…
Just to keep the weather again in the forefront with news items displaying climate change exacerbating our overheating planet meteorology. The truth is shit-scary: Bill McGuire, professor emeritus of geophysical and climate hazards at UCL and a climate activist, in an op/ed at the Guardian this afternoon — if you think it’s hot now, just…
Hot but not yet unpleasant near mid-day Monday here in California’s Central Valley, the big plus-factor is a nice breeze, which keeps the firestarter temperatures down a notch or two. Once that gentle wind evaporates, though, the air will get heavy as shit with a heat that will be near-impossible to handle. We’re forecast for…
Rinse and repeat, but with really, really hot water. Another heavy-air experience this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley; we’re in a dangerous zone with high-ass temperatures and without any hint of wind. Our local NWS has issued an ‘Excessive Heat Warning‘ for the region — temperatures maybe 105 to 110 degrees — and…
Hot, heavy air this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — although reportedly we didn’t top 100 again today, the sheer feel of the day created some hot-ass ambiance to the out-of-doors. Temperatures are sometimes not the only discomfort indicator — summer! In an afternoon of doomscrolling the InterWebs for news about everything, and…
One of the big questions nowadays in American politics is not really whether the T-Rump will run again in 2024, but when will he announce — odds are soon. Via The Washington Post this morning: ‘The former president is now eyeing a September announcement, according to two Trump advisers, who like some others interviewed for…
A pleasant late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, sunshine, but without the intense heat. Forecasts for today were wrong, which does happen on occasion. In sending the T-Rump to jail, a new poll has found a lot of Americans know he’s guilty of criminal acts, leading maybe to sedition. Democracy at stake: Details via…
Another hot one this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — although I don’t think we crossed the 100-degree mark today, supposedly another burner forecast for tomorrow, going triple-digits again. Also today another hearing in the House investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot/attempted coup — the seventh in the series — and once again…
Intense, full baked-on hot this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — 108 degrees just a while ago, and although it’s supposed to be cooler tomorrow (forecast high of 102), it’s all heavy-air shit that requires AC living. Hot, too, the violence in America — and weird-ass gun shit in the LA area this…
Odd how certain subjects flow in the news cycle — I did a shitload of posts on Ukraine for a long while, then SCOTUS popped America a few times upside the head of freedom (plus an influx of gun massacres and cruel, general-tom-ass-foolery of Republican politics), and Vlad Putin’s horror-war journey was pushed to a…
