Sunshine and hot this early-evening Tuesday here on California’s north coast, balmy it be — the NWS reports 82-degrees right now in Arcata, and will supposedly stay way-warm until dark. Although not really what you’d call ‘hot,’ but for us coast people, it’s ‘sweltering.’ Yesterday from the Northern California Weather Blog: A high pressure ridge…
Seemingly-white sunshine this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, the brightness of the low-hanging clouds appears to bleach the air — warm, too. We did get some decent sun this morning, then on occasion, and now all-the-time all gray. We’re just in a slight respite from a couple of ‘rare‘ atmospheric rivers that’s swept the…
According to sensors at Hawaii’s Mauna Loa Observatory, a research outpost of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency, our earthly habitat is in the real shits, not like since forever: Background via TechCrunch this afternoon: If the threshold seems unremarkable (it shouldn’t), it’s yet another indication of the unprecedented territory humanity is now charting as…
(Illustration found here). Sunny and windy this early-evening Thursday on California’s north coast — way-windy on the beach this afternoon, which can spoil the flavor of the moment. Really bright, though, which is nice… In the monkey-go-around of the nauseating T-Rump freak-show in DC, we have a near-perfect distraction from the main, most-single issue of…
Pretty-clear skies, lots of sunshine and windy this early-evening Saturday here on California’s north coast — and the breeze does carry a chill. A dog-run about mid-day to Little River State Beach found initially only a wisp of a breeze, but not too long after, suddenly a whipper-snapper from the northwest — easy and mild…

Writer and activist Bill McKibben in an interview at Outside magazine, published Monday, ‘Earth Day,’ and a bit of historical-reality with our predicament: “The oil companies knew everything there was to know about climate change. Look, these were the richest companies in the world. They had vast squadrons of scientists. Their product…
Breezy and way-wet this early-evening Monday on California’s north coast — made an attempt to take the dogs for a walk/run this afternoon, first try at Little River Beach, and after sitting there in the car for awhile waiting for some respite, then when none came, a drive south to the Ma-le’l Dunes, where we…
(Illustration by Handoko Tjung, found here). Some drizzle and wind this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast — rain forecast for tonight, but sunshine on the morrow. Weather is the centerfold of our time, and a downer encapsulates the current narrative — from today’s Phys.org: A new study has revealed that the language used by…
(Illustration found here). Sundown Wednesday here on California’s north coast, clear, dying-gray skies, touched along the westward edges with a little bright tinge, a sense of approaching dark. Chilly, though, as it’s been since about noon-time today when the icy-north wind arrived — earlier was easy warm, was hoping it would stay that way, but…
(Illustration found here). A warm and bright Monday afternoon on California’s north coast. Despite temperatures only in the mid-50s around noon-time, the lack of any decent wind fostered a much-more-warmer feeling. Walking the dogs earlier out on Little River State Beach the air felt actually, ‘hot.’ Even if using that word too soon in the…
