Climate-Change’s Weather

A muted environment this late Saturday afternoon here on California’s north coast, though, just the ambience of storm clouds a-coming — supposedly, a fairly-decent rainstorm starting later this evening, maybe continuing all-day tomorrow, and could stay-steady until Monday. Along the shoreline, we’ll have to wait and see… Weather is mostly-predictable to a point, with a…

Ho-Hum the Climate Change

Bright sunshine in a near-cloudless sky this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast, but all tempered by a crisp-chilled ocean breeze. Although climate change is obvious, most Americans appear ho-hum about it. A new poll out this morning displays our business-classic laissez-faire attitude toward it: However, fewer than one in four Americans are extremely or very…

Rainless Rainstorm

Breezy-bright sunshine and rolling, blustery clouds this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast. The rainstorm from last night gone this morning — leaving a small, barely-damp footprint, and a clear, sparkling sunrise. Photo at the right is a sky-shot off my back patio a little-bit earlier, an overall epitome-picture of the weather around my abode…

Rain and Cat 5

Overcast with some faded sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and a sense of a chill to the air — more than a sense, though, more like a reminder of October. Rain expected this weekend, but not much wetness predicted. And even though right now the ‘most intense hurricane ever recorded‘ in the…

Hot vs Hotter

Overcast with a strong marine fog influence this early Wednesday on California’s north coast with predictions for the gray-matter to burn off by early afternoon. Despite the dark layer, no rain expected until Sunday, then just a ‘slight chance’ if any. Yesterday turned out gorgeous, but for the year, still warming up. Last month was…

‘Incredibly venomous’ Sea Snakes get the ‘Double-Whammy’

Bright sunshine and a cool Pacific breeze this late Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — no rain forecast until at least the first part of next week. The season does cometh, though, and right now there’s memory’s worth of pleasure in the vivid-clear, near-cloudless weather. Beyond expected rain and snow, the approaching El Niño…

Dry Rain

Quickly-creeping overcast this Monday morning on California’s north coast — looks-likely we might be getting some ‘showers‘ anytime now as a storm front glides across the shoreline. According to the NWS, 30 percent before noon, then ‘Partly Sunny.’ According to WXshift, our rain totals have sloped in the last 45 years — in 1970, our…

Rain Snow on the Drought

Overcast cushioned with a moist-fog here this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, and precipitation-warm, with rain still expected maybe tonight and into tomorrow. Forecasts call for just a quick rain patch, however, so small appears gone and dry-again by Sunday, predicted by the NWS to be ‘Mostly Sunny.’ Our drought continues, even though forecasts…
