Surprise, surprise! Sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and it looks strange. After weeks of fog in the AM, we must adjust to a clear, clean sky — a wonderful adjustment, by the way. And on the subject of the weather/environment, last week California leaped to the forefront of attempting to get a…
Misty-thick fog again this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and if like yesterday, the marine layer will never really vanish completely — heavy, gray blanket muffled our area before sundown last evening, most-likely the same today. Some moments yesterday afternoon, though, of bright sunshine and near-clear skies. Diminishing weather returns… Another noted diminishing concern,…
Gray-matter again still this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast — the marine layer feels more-chilly, though, a quick peek of sunshine much earlier might have caused a sense of colder temperatures. Now it’s deep in the bowels of fog-city… Good news from a study on an eventual-horrible situation with global warming: ‘“Our research indicates that…
Fog-bound again this near-noon Tuesday on California’s north coast — another day in the life as sunshine expected for the afternoon, and some wind, too. Beyond the climate-change-inducing wildfires and massive rainfall, the down-under of our planet is also wrecking the environment — a recent paper led by James Hansen outlines ‘a dire scenario‘ in…
Fog this early Monday on California’s north coast — Duh! Our summer weather pattern continues, but supposedly should be a bit cooler. Preliminary rainfall totals for last month from the NWS shows my little area was 203-percent of normal for July — definitely not our rainy season, but, a nasty-indicator of shitsville. Dry continues — the…
Sunshine peeling-away the fog, here just short of noon Wednesday on California’s north coast. This afternoon’s forecast ‘Mostly Sunny‘ by the NWS, and the repetitive natural continues… And what’s not of nature is rising temperatures — eastward just a short space from where I’m located, heat increases. Although we along the shoreline were in the…
Deep, moist gray this early Monday on California’s north coast as our daily pattern of marine-fog continues, a situation pretty-much summed-up on WunderBlog‘s weather thingy: ‘Today is forecast to be nearly the same temperature as yesterday.’ And most-likely, all the other environmental-ingredients as well, too. Although damp here, in Lake County this morning, the so-named…
Treat from the skies starting tonight — the annual Perseids meteor shower. Anthony Lydgate back-grounding at the New Yorker this afternoon: The Perseids keep their annual schedule so well that in the nineteenth century they were known as the Tears of St. Lawrence, since they stream through the sky most abundantly around August 10th, the holy…
Overcast-gray this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — forecast calls for it to be cooler than yesterday, and right now the air feels it. Ground shakers-swarm yesterday down in Lake County — according to the USGS, a 5.1 earthquake near Upper Lake has apparently spawned at least four smaller quakes in its wake. Two…
Patchy fog this Monday morning on California’s north coast, yet on occasion, sunshine makes half-hearted attempts to slice through the gray, but mostly haphazard at best — might clear before noon maybe. Unless something weird occurs, we should end up with another pleasant day along the shoreline, and somewhat cooler temperatures inland, opposed to the…
