Warm and bright as indeed a micro-mini heat wave is upon California’s north coast — right now, near-noon, the WunderBlog weather thingy show we’re sitting just under 75 degrees, with a high today already of 77 or so. Apparently, we’ve peaked and cooler temperatures are already setting upon us — mainly due to a nice, though-chilled…
Startlingly-bright even for a Monday on California’s north coast, especially after a decent rain last evening — sounded full-time hard for awhile during the night, but apparently just noise as the rain totals weren’t all that impressive, or long-lasting. And supposedly, we’re set to be totally-dry all this week — according to the NWS, ‘Slight…
(Illustration found here). In just a week, a bit of frightful climate news — maybe more frightful than usual. Starting off last Monday, the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) released its Status of the Climate Global Climate report, and the card looked real bad (via Climate News Network) — WMO secretary-general Petteri Taalas: “The future is…
Clear skies and sunshine this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast, but the beauty of it well-tempered by a chilly ocean breeze. Also my first post in nearly a week — a rare lengthy space without a new Compatible Creatures. Next month, Creatures will be 9-years-old with 2.491 posts published as of last Tuesday, and…
Sunshine peeking through rain clouds this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and according to the NWS, another high pressure off the shoreline will bring gradual warming for a few days, and supposedly nice weather through the end of next week. One thing I really, really have grown to hate with my morning coffee is…
A Monday with a Monday’s weather — heavy rain and wind here this morning on California’s north coast, supposedly continuing in similar fashion on-and-off until tomorrow. Rain didn’t get too dense until well after daybreak — according to the NWS, we could get maybe an inch today, and then drizzle-off into dry by Tuesday evening.…
Gray-moist change-of-pace this early Friday on California’s north coast — a switch from bright-sunshine daybreaks this past week, to a gloomy marine layer this morning that’s got us all fogged. However, just ‘normal‘ for Humboldt County. A preview for return to rain forecast starting this afternoon, beginning with the drizzle and ending with a fairly-decent…
Sunshine and bright objects this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as thin, high clouds appear to be floating away, at least according to the observation from my back patio. Another ascertainment off the horrid entertainment last night, and current state of the union: ‘“I don’t think you can say that we don’t get it…
Rain slashed by some gusty wind this early Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast as we cruise through another storm front, this one pertinent through tomorrow afternoon. A tiny break, then supposedly, another short storm with hopefully clear skies/sunshine by Wednesday. According to the NWS‘ weather thingy, winds are gusting near-about right-now at more than…
Five years later and the bad-beat goes on — via Newsweek yesterday: ‘The robots sent in to find highly radioactive fuel at Fukushima’s nuclear reactors have “died”…authorities still don’t how to dispose of highly radioactive water stored in an ever mounting number of tanks around the site.’ And ‘“…no specific clear solution”‘ nowhere in sight. (Illustration found…
