Crystal-clear, blue skies, and sharp, clean sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. And warm temps, too — highs in the mid-to-upper 70s with a cool, nice-feeling breeze. Of itself a gorgeous time. A day, however, most-likely an undercurrent preview for a hot, shitty summer to come. Yet right now enjoy while it’s…
Clear skies and bright sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — a preview for summer as temps kicked in at close to 80 degrees, though, a ‘cooling trend‘ is expected for tomorrow and Thursday. And proper, too, to celebrate the first day of Spring today — officially starts tonight at 11:06 PM…
Left-Coast weather continues to be the closest-biggest big news item of this weekend as a massive, wet storm continues unchecked: ‘“The heaviest main band of the rain looks to stall now over L.A. County,” meteorologist Ryan Kittell of the National Weather Service office for Los Angeles said at a briefing Sunday. “That’s a lot of…
Low, thick, gray clouds and cold air this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley – once again we’re awaiting another ‘atmospheric river‘ (AR) to come crashing onto us, bringing rain and more rain. Expected beginning maybe tomorrow evening through Monday morning, the incoming AR is reportedly way bigger than last Wednesday/Thursday’s episode. Although we…
Deeply-overcast and humid this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley as we await a wet, wild weather front coming our way — earlier today the fabled “pineapple express” surging out from warm Hawaiian waters dropped into/onto coastal areas and it’s only matter of time. Reportedly, the valley will be getting rain and wind off…
A wet-gray and cold late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley. Although kind of nasty outside, it’s nothing compared to a giant chunk of the US right now, from super-freezing snow storms in the midwest to tornadoes in the south — the weather’s shitty all over. Americans seem aware that despite the winter conditions, climate…
In a short space this early-evening Monday, let’s momentarily (if we can) escape from the American political/culturally highly-disenfranchised diarrhea of news and focus maybe on an even bigger issue that is coming at us fairly quickly — climate change. Pretty much already known information there’s a 100 percent chance 2023 will be the hottest-ever: NOAA…
As we start Thanksgiving week this Monday morning in the US, the world is on the edge of shit-storming climate change seemingly barreling out of control without much reactions — UN Secretary-General António Guterres warns: ‘“Present trends are racing our planet down a dead-end 3C temperature rise. This is a failure of leadership, a betrayal…
Bright sunshine coupled with temperatures in the high 90s this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley as we’re apparently experiencing a seemingly out-of-the-blue shot of summer for the next couple of days — after a mild early autumn the last few weeks we were jolted back into hot-heat yesterday (temps in the low 90s)…
Bright sunshine with comfortable temperatures a few minutes past the noon hour Friday here in California’s Central Valley — again, a nice ending to a rather nice work week as we stagger into the autumn season. And according to a UN report out today, we’re more than staggering into bad climate-change times if mankind doesn’t…
