We’re warming up this near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — another hot day already, yet it’s become normal for the time. Later this afternoon, triple-digit temps are supposedly scheduled, but since this has been a long hot streak, we’ve used to the heavy air blister, and know to stay inside. If we had…
Summer continues this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley. — hot but soothed by a gentle breeze, making it not really all that unpleasant in the shade. As we await the start of the Jan. 6 hearing this evening, I doomscrolled the InterWebs and amidst the shit-stories from all over, I did encounter some…
Despite all the vaccinations and safety protocols, the COVID virus has turned into a bitch, apparently mutating into various variants that make it hard for everybody/anyone to escape its touch. Here in California (as in many parts of the country), we’ve got a current surge that might top last winter’s Omicron outbreak. What’s happening? Kent…
Aside from the hot-weather crisis this Wednesday afternoon we take a look at another calamity approaching that’s topical on the T-Rump skating scot-free from the massive criminal shit he’s pulled the last five years, not to say his whole, shitty, rotten life, but doing it on the public’s dime. Merrick Garland is the federal loop…
Another melting-away heat episode this near mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, with sunshine full-on hot and temperatures slated for triple-digits. Although it’s already hot as shit, we’re not alone as waves of unprecedented high temps are spiking across the globe in a fierce display on the cutting edge of a way-sweaty-steamy future for…
Beyond the miserable heat, a depressing aspect of the nowadays is the most-likelihood of T-Rump and the large cesspool of his cronies could skate on crimes of insurrection/riot/coup after losing the 2020 election. The vacumn of Merrick Garland’s energy sucks up into an empty paper bag. One note of a decent vibe comes from Georgia…
Along with earth experiencing blistering heat coming from a blistering sun, some more ugly news might also be on the agenda today with a possible major solar flare/storm striking our planet, hopefully, low on the danger zone with maybe some device disruptions and some great night skies. Although it’s pointed toward today it could happen…
Just to keep the weather again in the forefront with news items displaying climate change exacerbating our overheating planet meteorology. The truth is shit-scary: Bill McGuire, professor emeritus of geophysical and climate hazards at UCL and a climate activist, in an op/ed at the Guardian this afternoon — if you think it’s hot now, just…
Hot but not yet unpleasant near mid-day Monday here in California’s Central Valley, the big plus-factor is a nice breeze, which keeps the firestarter temperatures down a notch or two. Once that gentle wind evaporates, though, the air will get heavy as shit with a heat that will be near-impossible to handle. We’re forecast for…
Rinse and repeat, but with really, really hot water. Another heavy-air experience this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley; we’re in a dangerous zone with high-ass temperatures and without any hint of wind. Our local NWS has issued an ‘Excessive Heat Warning‘ for the region — temperatures maybe 105 to 110 degrees — and…
