Keeping track of the climate, and reporting on it from wherever you may be is the goal of this thread. Talk about anything, but bring it back to the weather in your observations of reality. From where I am this is today's weather prediction. Today's high temp is supposed to be 90 F. Nice, considering it still gets down to around 60 F at night. It has only rained once here on this date in the last thirty years, so we aren't predicting rain. Or observing any either! How is the climate where you are?
So far a sucky slow spring(NL).......wet,low temp, cloudy .......... Climate is changing(nl) imo, just looking around/working over the years(gardener).....................weather/plants/insects/ect(nature)............the predictions(science) are not that far off atm, everything more extreme(wet/dry/hot/cold/ect) I also think this planet runs a cycle(nature) wich we cant change................................but we should take better care of this planet and not make it worse..........*sigh* Mzzls
La Paz, BCS. Sunny. What a surprise! However, the weather is abnormal. Predictions are for a wicked hurricane season ahead. They are already clearing the debris from the gullies and stream beds here, and stocking the public shelters, such as they are.
Hot enough for you? Can't say you weren't warned. Now we are experiencing Earth's hottest days on record, day after day. Reports are that they increase about two degrees per day! Yikes! How much time have we got left before food shortages, mass riots, and total breakdown occur as we madly pursue electric cars and burn more fossil fuels than ever? Not to mention the insane pollution caused by the wars. Is mankind intent on destroying itself? Climate change is widespread, rapid, and intensifying, and some trends are now irreversible, at least during the present time frame, according to the latest much-anticipated Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, released on Monday. IPCC report: ‘Code red’ for human driven global heating, warns UN chief
It got up to 23C, which is kinda as hot as I prefer. I detest the heat. And it's a dry heat here.. so I really can't even imagine a crazy humidity on top of it. Nice days like today make the summer bearable. I can do 23C.
Atm cool summer weather(NL) 20c, lots of wind, rain/sun......... Looking at the rest of the world.............nature is going to kick our ass.. Mzzls
Eugene Oregon: 11:39 AM, Sunday--71 degrees. Projected high: 81. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Today we swelter, again. Thank you to the oil companies and coal miners for making us all miserable...
Turning into a wet summer(last few weeks).........coming week hopefully dry, a nice 22C(work) Today 25C and dry/cloudy...coast. Atleast no more watershortage......... Mzzls
It has been dryer than a popcorn fart in Washington State since early June. Not too hot tho except for the past few days.
Well we got some rain! Thanks to Huricane Hilary... The winds knocked out our power for a couple of hours, but we are back online now Rain is already drying up...
The climate here is temperate. That doesn't change. Weather and climate are two different things. Let's not confuse them. The weather here today is warm, humid, sunny, and with very little breeze. The weather varies from day to day, but within limits. Scientific recordkeeping goes back about 150 years here, and there's never been a day that didn't fall within the normal parameters for our one and only temperate climate during that time. The local climate is temperate, as it has been here for at least the past 10,000 years, and as it will be for at least the next 10,000 years. There's no point in talking about the climate here - it hasn't changed and it isn't going to change anytime soon. Alpine, polar, desert, or tropical rainforest? Not here, and not coming here anytime soon. We get rain; we get snow. We don't get monsoons; we don't have permafrost. The climate here is actually very stable, getting slightly warmer certainly, but nowhere near enough to bring about a change in climate. I realize that isn't true everywhere on the planet, but it's true everywhere within more than 1,000 miles in any direction from where I live. It's all temperate climate, and unchanged since the end of the last ice age. Yes, some years are warmer and some are cooler, and it certainly appears that human activity has made recent years warmer, but only slightly so. They're all consistent with the average annual temperature in a temperate climate zone. Some of the coolest years on record here were 2003, 2008, 2009, 2013, and 2014. The following years were all warmer than it is this year (to date) and warmer than it was last year: 1880, 1889, 1911, 1914, 1919, and 1921. When we break a daily record for high temperature, it's rarely a record set last year or the year before. It's almost always a record that's decades old. The same goes for precipitation - variation here is within a narrow range, and all of it is thoroughly consistent with a temperate climate for the entire period of scientific recordkeeping, as it is projected to be for the indefinite future. Sea level rise is probably the greatest risk to the human population as a result of the human-driven warming of the planet's surface. However, people are still moving to coastal areas, and building permits are still being issued for intensive oceanfront development and redevelopment. That's not sustainable - it's simply bad planning. A hundred years from now, people will say we were delusional for building this way. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the Bahamas, which is likely the most at-risk country on Earth because of rising sea levels. The highest point on the islands is 210 feet above sea level, and most of the islands' landmass is only a few feet above sea level. Still, migration patterns are inward not outward, and all-inclusive upscale resorts, condominium projects, and cruise ship port facilities continue to be built there. Houston, Phoenix, Miami, New Orleans, all of Southern California, and the San Francisco Bay area (just as examples) should all be depopulating, and the opposite is happening. Human ingenuity in short-term problem solving, greed, and terrible long-term planning have caused large population centers to be built where the long view (looking either backward or forward) tells us large numbers of people should not live.
If our grandchildren fully realized the implications of our legacy, they'd murder us all in our beds.
Rejoice and be not afraid, for I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be unto all people! We've appointed an oil industry executive to address the issue.
