Fog-bound again this early Friday on California’s north coast — temporary if the recent past reflects the current future. Most-likely sunny and breezy in a coupe of hours. Climate-wise the past is killing the future (via Scientific American): ‘Climate change has claimed its first confirmed mammal extinction. The tiny Bramble Cay melomys (also known as…
Drizzly-fog and gray skies this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and our weather continues its predictable unpredictability — yesterday, no sunshine until way-late in the afternoon. Most-likely today will be the same… Despite our air-wetness up here, last week’s Drought Monitor reported all of California still covered in some-type dry, and getting so bad California…
Deep-gray on California’s north coast this early Monday, and damp with patchy-drizzly fog — if trends continue, however, by mid-morning we should be awash with sunshine. Environmental concerns across the pond — amidst Britain’s Brexit chaos is the danger for climate research (National Geographic): ‘“It’s depressing, but the uncertainty doesn’t help,” says Philip Jones, research…
Overcast and gloomy-looking this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a temporary gray as way-most-likely the sun will dramatically appear soon and wash away the sad. Dry for at least the next 10 days, maybe longer as the summer cranks itself into gear. A perfect pitch for a searing fire season ahead for California,…
Fog mingled with low clouds overcast this early Monday on California’s north coast — a chilled ocean breeze indicates the marine layer is yuuge… Today, too, is the beginning of Summer Solstice, reportedly actually starting at 3:34 PDT this afternoon, and also supposedly the longest day of the year. If interested, there’s a handy, localized…
Surprise sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast. Forecasters had predicted overcast-showers for last night and today — as I fell asleep, sure enough, drizzle pecking at the roof. Expecting a dreary-gray AM — but alas! A bright, near-glaring glow to the morning. The wet maybe swooshed back to this early afternoon — according…
Sunshine burning-off some misty, thin coastal fog this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast as we continue unabated through some gorgeous weather — maybe tripled-digit temperatures away from the shoreline. Despite bullshit-asshole The Donald proclaiming last Friday: ‘“They don’t understand — nobody understands it,” he said, declaring at one point: “There is no drought. They turn…
Clear-warm sunshine made even-easier by a nice, gentle, ocean breeze — weather-portrait of a near-noon Tuesday here on California’s north coast, and according to the NWS this morning, ‘unseasonably warm‘ temperatures ahead for at least the next few days. The ‘heat‘ a big effect off a strong ridge of high pressure building across the region. Classic,…
Bright sunshine for a change this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and supposedly we’re in for some ‘good-as-it-gets’ weather for the next few days, minus, of course, the shoreline fog-bank, and those gusty and chilled ocean breezes. Yesterday, orange-tinged “shit stain” blubbered-out great anxiety for humankind (the Guardian): ‘Donald Trump pledged to cancel the Paris…
Gray skies and a cool breeze this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast as we cruise through a period of ‘seasonal temperatures‘ and foggy mornings here along the shoreline. Yesterday, my fisherman ex-brother-in-law (and still very-good friend) presented me with some Dungeness crab he’d snagged somewhere in local waters, and just as the health-ban on…
