‘Exacerbate’ Everything

Monday morning here on California’s north coast, and once again a thick mat of gray outside as the routine-like marine layer continues to hold sway. Temperatures are supposed to cool, though Willow Creek is expected to top 90-degrees today — the interior stays hot, while we along the shoreline calendar-through another weather-pattern of fog-to-sunshine, which…

Fire in the Heat

Damp-gray early Friday here on California’s north coast, seemingly the morning-norm nowadays, a way-contrast with recent afternoons of clear, bright skies and warm temperatures. Locally, however, the word, ‘warm,’ doesn’t at all necessarily mean ‘hot‘ — the NWS says we could top 70-degrees today, but I doubt it. Enjoy-ability (and chill factor) depends on the wind,…

Weather Take

Fog-city again this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, a repetition of repeating weather. Cool here, of course, but seemingly nowhere else. California and most of the US are engulfed in a horrific heat wave, festering wildfires — update this morning on the Santa Clarita fire near LA: ‘“It has averaged about 10,000 acres per day,”…

A bit of guilt even as we cool here on the Pacific shoreline, not far eastward temperatures way-climb, sometimes 20-30-degrees higher — meanwhile, across a big chunk of the US right now, the notorious “heat dome” is frying the citizenry, though,…

Not a complaint whatsoever. We’ve one of the continual most-pleasant weather situations…

‘It Really Matters Who Wins This Election’

Deep, thick and drizzly-fog this early Monday on California’s north coast, creating most-likely another gloomy, gray environment for awhile — yesterday, no substantial sunshine until way-late in the afternoon. Cooler temperatures, too, in the forecast. Also forecast for today, the crazed-crank-up to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland — and we’re already sick of the whole-entire…

‘Insecurity’ in Food Waste

Foggy and a bit chilly this early Thursday on California’s north coast, as the NWS prompts correctly the ‘Decreasing Clouds‘ forecast for today — sunshine and near-clear skies most-likely set for early afternoon. Hot inland, though, and supposedly we could get near/or better than 70-degrees even here along the shoreline as record heat settles over summer.…
