Although it’s still fairly pleasant in the shade this near-noon Wednesday, the direct sunshine is hotter than shit here in California’s Central Valley as we encounter another ‘heat dome‘ driving temperatures to triple digits.

Cool and way-pleasant this near-noon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — well under triple digits as apparently we’re right now in a real-short lived (two days!) episode of crisp temperatures and comfortable ambiance when outside.

Late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — outside my air-conditioned dwelling it’s 109 degrees with barely any wind. My local weather page reports tomorrow will be ‘nearly the same‘ as today, or just another episode in a multi-day ‘Excessive Heat Warning’ for the region. And accordingly, right now we’re two degrees above the forecasted…
In the politics involved with climate change — the House should sign off on the Inflation Reduction Act tomorrow, with its $369bn allotted to reduce America’s greenhouse gas emissions and invest in renewable energy sources, and maybe Joe Biden could sign it into law before the weekend — the governmental movements in this calamity might…

In the real scheme of things, despite some heavy shit scattered over a wide subject area, our biggest, most-hugest problem is climate change. A crisis seemingly moving slow,…
Not-so-bad heat near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — almost pleasant you could say without being a sarcastic asshole. We’re forecast for a high of under 100 degrees today, so that’s the good news around these parts. And for them parts farther north where another deadly, mean-ass heat wave across the Northwest, where air…
Heat is increasing near noon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — we might hit triple-digits later this afternoon, but the air right now seems to be getting hotter by the hour. However, just another day in a long string of such days where temperatures have remained in the 100-plus range and the ambiance is…
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.
