Hot Ocean

Sparkling sunshine and warming-up temperatures this Monday morning on California’s north coast — the NWS forecast for today is ‘Mostly Sunny,’ tomorrow, ‘Partly Sunny,’ at least keeping some bright alive. Buried beneath the ear-piercing, distracting white noise oozing from the infected bowels of the T-Rump, new research indicating our oceans are warming faster than anticipated —…

Blowing Smoke

Drizzling rain and chilly this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, another day to weather in the life of our climate. Supposedly a break coming starting tomorrow — according to the WunderBlog‘s weather thingy, fairly-dry conditions should be in place until at least the first of next week. We’ll see… And of our environment, the…

Spring-Up Early

Fog-gray overcast this mid-morning Thursday on California’s north coast, ebbing on through a short-dry period in this way-wet season — next rain forecast for tomorrow afternoon. Supposedly, an early spring this year, but even with a hearty-welcomed arrival of pleasant weather, a heavy caveat. Although officially the season changes in less than three weeks —…

Hot/Cold/Wet/Dry Climate Change — Record Rain, Record Heat

Cold with some drizzle this mid-morning Friday on California’s north coast; we await another rain-system to plow through the region starting this afternoon — a bit of sunshine earlier, but now it’s dark and gloomy, narrative-normal for an approaching storm.

Warming World: ‘The Big Kahuna’ of Climate

Overcast with some light, misty-drizzle this Friday morning on California’s north coast — we await another big rainstorm supposedly starting this afternoon and lasting into tomorrow, or maybe-seemingly forever. Despite the forecast, we won’t get the blunt end of a fairly-powerful ‘atmospheric river‘ drenching SoCal also this morning — ‘“…likely the strongest within the last six…

Rain Ruse

Misty-drizzle this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, the tail-end of one storm, blended with the creeping-arrival of another. Supposedly, another wet front will be cruising onto the shoreline up here this evening and tonight, with rain forecast at least through the weekend. Earlier, I thought maybe it was dry enough to quickly-walk to Safeway…

Got Them Old ‘Groundhog’ Blues Again…

Rain and more rain this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and from all indications, this scenario will persist through the end of next week. Winds were gusting pretty-good during the night, but have way-calmed since daybreak, and it’s warm, which is a plus factor. Although we really do need the water, this rainy season…
