Too dry here, rivers almost empty, cracks in the clay in the garden, grass turning brown.
This week another scorcher, 35 + C sunny for the next 14 days without rain...
It's called summer i think...

According to the National Weather Service, over the next three days we can expect an Excessive Heat Warning, a High Wind Watch, the possibility of thunderstorms and a Flash Flood Watch. The later are thanks to Hurricane Kay, which is currently spinning just west of Cabo San Lucas at the tip of the Baja California peninsula.
Anthropogenic climate change is a bastard.
Last heat going now had 32 C last days now rain and thunderstorms 19 to 22 C here hope it keeps raining shortage here from the summer iss 12 inches so need more rain...
66 to 70 degrees today with a lot of rain, heavy at times. It was worse through the central and coastal part of the state. Central through Southern Georgia as well as central through Eastern NC got it pretty hard.
Expecting another heavy round through the Midlands of SC.
Weird weather for the past week, weird weather continues through Monday.

A little about South Carolina geography and history here with regard to "the fall line." The fall line runs through the center of the state from the southwest to the northeast. It's where the elevation drops. In Columbia SC is where the Broad River and Saluda River converge to make the Congaree River. Pictured below. Link to geography lesson below that.

This is headed right for us. I'm not afraid of death by hurricane, I fear the inconvenience.

I’ve been to Florida a few times. I fear the mosquitoes.Quote:

According the latest map, the center of the storm is going to hit the area where my brother lives by Wednesday. I told him to stay in California and deal with the occasional earthquake but would he listen to his older, wiser brother? Noooooo…

The last update has us barely out of the cone of uncertainty. We are still on for surges. I live about ten miles from the Gulf coast. I'm sticking to my daily routines, signed up to carry my older neighbors to safety when needed. I will get a yellow vest, sans walkie talkie. :-D
Windy today. 20 mph gusts and about 63º. Looking at the cloud map, the edge of Ian's bands extend past Columbia SC, center of the state, reaching the halfway point between my location and Columbia. I keep feeling like it will go northeast with a more easterly heading while the maps say north with only a slight easterly heading. I may head up to a high vantage point to see if I can view any of the bands as the sun sets. It will be a trick. There is one place I may be able to see the light from the setting sun hit the edge of the bands to the east and south.

Don't lose your rain gear Ash. It's a comin
As it would go, a few minutes after my last post I was asked to go to Atlanta at about 1:10 pm. We left out at 2:20. The weather there was nice. When I got home a little while ago, the wind was still gusting.Quote:

[edit]
As I was hoping, the brunt of it, the center of the storm veered further east. Myrtle Beach sustained some damage which may or may not have been overstated by the media. In 2005 I noted that the sewer lines, storm drains and water lines run way too close together. One morning I was on the beach for sunrise pictures and there was a hole big enough to walk through where the storm water drains on to the actual beach itself. With a flashlight I could see everything I just described and of course, the sewage pipes were seeping sewage. A couple of years after that bacteria and the illness it caused was being reported as people were getting sick from going to the beach. Not once did anyone ever openly admit it was caused by deteriorating underground infrastructure via the storm drain exits. People getting sick continued to be reported over the years since but they blamed the ocean water.
About 76º and 96% humidity. That's a bit tough to handle in November. Feels like 96º and there's no wind.
Barometer holding steady at 30.19.
Supposed to be warmer tomorrow.
Cooler here in SD, with a winter storm out of the Gulf of Alaska on the way.

Last rain falling, 13 C here still good temps for November though..
Front yard thermometer got up to 86º today. Yay ... not. 76% humidity. Everybody is running the air.
Ha ha ha ha, we're wet and cold here in CN86jc. Went from summer temps (80-90°) to 3 days of fall, to winter just like that.
It’s not cold here, but the rain has already begun.
It seemed to be cooling down then Hurricane Nicole brought the moisture and heat back.
When it gets into the high 60's/low 70's with this kind of humidity and you've already been on the adjusting end of the cooler weather it makes it feel downright stuffy and there's nothing you can do about it except turn on the air or go for a ride.
So, Thursday was a bunch of rain and Friday was just that warm stuffy weather without a lot of air movement. Currently I have 64º. Forecast high is 71º and the morning low will PLUNGE down to 37º ... and I'll have to start over with getting back on the cooler game page. That was something I was doing the week before, because we had those warm temps again a couple of weeks ago when it was damn near 81º+.
Sunny and 50° right now. Going back out for more moving chores while it's dry and sunny.
See ya!
December weather arrived last night. Days in the 40's, nights in the 20's.
Last sunny dry day 12 C today first night with freezing temps -1.5 C in the south.
From tomorrow back to normal 9C daytime, 3 to 5 C night's and some rain more windy as well.
Autumn Santa Ana winds kicking in this week. We’re fairly sheltered from them here compared to other areas of SoCal but they should make for some interesting sailing conditions when I take the boat out on Wednesday.
Storms, rain etc. Coming through. Instruments say the sky is very charged.
People in Mississippi have to tie down their Christmas decorations.
Mid 60's and rain here today, possible thunder but yeah, there's a lot of energy in the atmosphere.
Getting colder here, few degrees C below 0 nights ad just above 0 daytime, chance on a bit sleet wet snow later...
Went out fishing* in the dinghy yesterday, got rained on and then had to head back early because of too much wind-generated chop on the bay. Planned to go sailing today and, of course, there was not a breath of wind. At least, not until after 14:00, too late to go out on these short days. The sun sets early here because we're so far east in the Pacific Time Zone (almost due south of Boise, ID, which is in Mountain Time).
So I worked on the boat instead. New switch and panel for the bilge pump, installed reefing nettles in the mainsail, lubed the mainsail track, rove a new main sheet with some really pretty blue 3/8" polyester double-braid and a bunch of general clean-up. Productive day.
*Ella caught a 35" 17 lb California halibut. Very nice fish!
Attachment 18063
It is a nice fish a little on the small size we are catching them in Canadian waters at 80 pounds plus.We of course now into the threepeat La Nina and lately night time temperatures of -5 C, already had a 20 cm dump of snow a couple of days ago.Enthusiastically waiting for the El Nino the scientists say will drive the world over a few tipping points of no return possibly on and on.Oh well :dunno:Quote:

Q: How can you tell the difference between a Pacific halibut and a California halibut?
A: Stick your finger in its mouth. If you get it back, it’s not a California halibut.

Currently 11° at KRIC with westerly winds @ 13 mph. Wind chill is -4° (-20° C).
Sunny, 9 C light wind dry till evening, then rain showers keep the cold there please...
The predicted low was 11.
At 5 am my front yard thermometer matched the actual low at 7.
I believe this is a record low.
it was still 17F at 11:00 am this morning here. Currently 26. Merry Christmas
75°F here today. No shit. This is unusually warm for late December even by local standards.
Wet and blustery (west 15-20 kts) here on New Years Day. Big change from just a week ago. Otherwise, 2023 does not seem significantly different from 2022 so far. I even have to open the store this morning, just like on any other Sunday.
68º
Just finished 3 days of rainy conditions.
64 and cloudy again. At least it is not raining. the rain the last few days has slowed down the dog Kennel built in I am adding int he family room. The dogs will be able to be kenneled inside with full dogie door access.
