Dark clouds, warm temps, and humidity until mid-afternoon followed by wind blowing tree branches and leaves, followed by rain. Things are calmer now.

Mrrzy, whoa!
My Y is holding a trip to NOLA next weekend. I've always wanted to go there, but when I remembered how miserable I was in heat and humidity at Disney World on the same weekend two years ago (had my first full-blown asthma attack that required use of my inhaler instead of an herbal remedy; thought at first it was a heart attack and paramedics would be picking me up off Main Street, USA), I decided NOLA will have to wait.

At least it was a *dry* heat.

I kid. I like humidity. We are back to the 60's now (Fahrenheit, not years).

We (North Texas) have been in the 90s for weeks. We are still in the mid-90s as we enter the second week of October, and it has been weeks since rain so the yard is tinder dry.

Summer is starting early. The drought is biting hard and we are staring down the barrel of another hot dry season. Today and tomorrow will be hot with a lot of dust swirling around (indoor days for those who have any kind of breathing problems) but we should be back to more mild weather on Tuesday, thank goodness.

Rain would be nice.....

Bright clear sunny skies

I'm not there.
It must be a multitude/mob scene.
I just hear about it in the news soundbites

In the meanwhile,
the weather is just starting to get cold enough
to dispatch mosquitoes,
especially those that carry West Nile/triple-E virus,
which has been sickening and killing people again this year...

We are on a Europe trip for a month now and our next stop after Spain will be Portugal. Seems like it's not a very good time to visit Portugal, it will be cloudy and kinda cold when we landed according to weather forecast. Or maybe it's the best time for me to visit Portugal since I'm not a big fan of hot weather. Anyway we are planning to buy property in Algarve with my wife soon so I should better get used to the hot weather as soon as possible.

Last night I saw my first rain bar, not rainbow.
It was well after dusk/sunset and 2 very wide rain bars were shineing straight up with deep saturated color. Without sun shine the colors were not washed out but were intense so that even the violet was super strong. It appeared to go almost 10 miles up. I was reminded of a black opal.

That's sweet of you, Donuel.
If I had seen a rain-bar, I would remember it.

In New Mexico and Arizona
there were a wealth of double rainbows,
plainly visible for miles.

But I never saw a rain-bar.

Well, according to the Doppler radar on the weather map,
the Berkshire mountains are being snowed upon.
So is Buffalo (what else is new)
and northern New Hampshire.

A great blob of Doppler rain storms
is all over the northern Atlantic seaboard,
however it's likely to turn to snow
as the cold air pushes east.

Sigh. It was swell while it lasted ...

Well, they weather people say that we in California are experiencing a "bombogenesis." The Weather Service says Bombogenesis, a popular term used by meteorologists, occurs when a midlatitude cyclone rapidly intensifies, dropping at least 24 millibars over 24 hours. A millibar measures atmospheric pressure. This can happen when a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, such as air over warm ocean waters. The formation of this rapidly strengthening weather system is a process called bombogenesis, which creates what is known as a bomb cyclone.
And that parts of California may have winds up to 100 miles per hour.

We got about two inches of snow last night, and the temperatures are in the thirties. We may get more snow tomorrow. I'm glad our electric power is working.

Cheers!

absolutely gorgeous. probably mid fifties and sunny with some clouds. i will go on a walk soon as soon as i get unlazy, a condition that has plagued me since retirement. Camellias are blooming, likewise rhododendruns. missed the cyclone bomb..too far north for it but i have been in a couple of cyclones here and not fun. somehow all the bad weather we used to have..days of torrential rains this time of year..has moved elsewhere and we are at least for now in paradise.

Freezing rain, wind. Looks like a skating rink our there, no snow, just a coating of ice.

I'm about to leave for my volunteer job opening the local Anglican church for worshipers. Not much to it, just checking the heat, unlocking doors, minor tidying, etc. Someone else attends to snow and ice.

I might need my skates.

I posted this on the Australian bushfires thread, but it is weather related!

Cloud-surfing at 3,000ft captures the perfect perfect morning glory clouds Like a surfer on a wave, Mike Zupanc balances high in the sky on a glider while taking photos of cloud formations that many of us can only ever imagine seeing.
The gliding enthusiast-turned-photographer's image of a morning glory cloud titled On Cloud Nine, will feature in the Bureau of Meteorology's (BOM) 2020 calendar.
    "People surf waves and for hang gliders we do the same thing," he said.
"We use an engine to help us launch off with power then we get to where the wave is and switch the engine off and just ride the waves of the cloud." (read on)

sandra in hot & smoky Sydney

Sydney temperature, measured at Observatory Hill on the harbour, was 21.1 at midnight & 37 at noon (40 mins ago)

Penrith, 60 km west of the CBD was 21.5 at midnight & 39 at noon.

Forecasts for today - Sydney 41, Penrith 45 & only 33 at Sydney best known beach Bondi.

Greater Sydney facing oppressive heatwave, extreme smoke, fire danger I'm not far from the harbour so am "only" expecting 41, but my place is cool as long as I stay near the fan.

A storm system is headed for the northeastern US
with snow, freezing rain, and rain where it is warmest.
But hopefully DC won't get the stuff below freezing.
Massachusetts, with my luck, probably will.
