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…
Lazy-warm late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — despite boiling-like scorching temperatures just about worldwide (especially tight now in the Eastern US), we’re experiencing a cooler-than-normal summer-into-fall transition, and it’s nice. Although our situation right now doesn’t necessarily mimic the reality of Earth — climate change is no-shit a full-bore danger upon us —…
Overcast and breezy warm just after the noon hour Friday here in California’s Central Valley — coolest day yet as we’re forecast for temps in the high 80s for today and the weekend as we continue our slide into seasonal change the easy way. Weather is a perspective ingredient centering on location. The same, too,…
Sunny and mild this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — and considering it’s still summer, use of the descriptive word ‘mild,’ is weather-wise saying a lot. As for instance, Hurricane Idalia’s cruise through Florida and onto into Georgia and the Carolinas — although a massive hit, circumstances proved to be a ‘dodged-a-bullet’ scenario…
Today is one for the books — as a rare and dangerous weather event unfolded this weekend, creating the scenario where ‘Tens of millions of people are under a tropical storm warning, the first of its kind to hit Southern California in 84 years,’ along pops a longtime natural staple for the state, an earthquake,…
Overcast and humid this near-noon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re awaiting the impact from former Hurricane Hillary, now categorized a tropical storm, in the maybe form of rain and wind. Although the biggest Hilary splash will be south and east of us (southern Cal, and Nevada), there’s an unknown mystery to all…
Humid and hot this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — hopefully this will be the final triple-digit days for at least a while as we venture into less warm episodes, though, in no way could it be categorized as anything approaching ‘cool,’ just less scorching. Oddly enough, we could get rain by Sunday…
Hot and humid this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re at 101 degrees right now, most likely the high for the day as we begin a short (three/four day) triple-digit episode with cooling temps coming hopefully by Friday. And then it’s still beyond heated with temperatures in the 90s. This summer there’s…
Overcast with an occasional sliver of sunshine this noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — although still quite warm and humid, the heat is on a downward slant today, which makes summer in these parts much more bearable. Heat nowadays is in a localized perspective. In the guise of living history, the wildfires now…
Warm with a hot breeze this noon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re starting a small run of triple-digit temperatures for a few days (high of 105 forecast for today), but we’re still not boiling like Arizona. In fact, we might be feeling cooler compared to last year for some odd reason, which…
