What's it like?
It's most unusual for August, I can say that.
The temperatures and humidity are uncommonly low,
and in August both are usually rather high.
Although we do have rain now and again,
there is rain forecast for tomorrow.

Hot hot hot. Triple digits every day for the last couple of weeks, usually coming in around 110^o by late afternoon.

Dreadful.

This, being southeast Alaska, is a cool region; temperatures rarely go above75F or below zeroF. We do get a lot of rain, however, more than 2 inches in a 24 hour period is noteworthy. We simply don't get many extremes of any kind.
This summer has been a strange one. Spring months, from mid-April to early July are typically our driest, sunniest months. But this year, May was an exceptionally rainy month and then our atmosphere dried out and we have had a LOT of SUN since. True, we still have rainy days, even some rainy weeks, but sometimes the sun is so blindingly bright I keep thinking that I'm going to have to break down and get sunglasses. Frankly, I prefer misty, silvery days.

Right now we're in the middle of wind and rain. Supposed to continue until Sunday. I love it. Not so, my dachsie. He doesn't like rain - or snow- falling on his back.

Got on board a westbound 737
Didn't think before deciding what to do
Ooh, that talk of opportunities
TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true

[Pre-Chorus]
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before

[Chorus]
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours

[Verse 2]
Out of work, I'm out of my head
I'm out of self respect, I'm out of bread
I'm under-loved, I'm underfed
I wanna go home

[Chorus]
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours

The sky is blue, the sun is shining,
it's warm but not blazing hot, it's reasonably dry,
and a nice brisk breeze is keeping the mosquitoes away.
It's just lovely -- not hot and humid the way August usually is.

I don't know how many records, weatherwise, that have been set in Juneau, Alaska, this year but I'm sure there are a few. We've had rain- even HARD rain, which is very atypical for us- but we've had more sunny days in the last couple of months than I can remember. At the moment it is a bit hazy but we haven't had more than a sprinkle of rain for days. Temperatures top out at about 65F. Great for walking dogs.

The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
My thoughts aren't too clear but don't run away
My girlfriend's a bore, my job is too dutiful
Hell, nobody's perfect, would you like to play?
I feel together today
Well, now that's just the start of a well-deserved overdue binge
Meanwhile, back in the city certain people are starting to cringe
His lawyers are calling his parents
His girlfriend doesn't know what to think
His partners are studying their options
He's just singing and ordering drinks

The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
The skies are too clear, life's so easy today
The beer is too cold, the daiquiri's too fruitful
No place like home when you're this far away
I don't care what they say
He's goin' back to New York pack it up and let everyone know (back to New York)
It was something that he should have done such a long time ago
Still, time to start a new life in the palm trees
Ah, Billy Clyde wasn't insane
And if it doesn't work out, there'll never be any doubt
That the pleasure was worth all the pain

The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
The skies are too clear, life's so easy today
The beer is too cold, the daiquiri's too fruitful
No place like home when you're this far away
Time for to play
I need time for to play
Time for to play
I need time for to play
I need time for to play
I need time for to play
I need time for to play

1973
I once knew a poet
Who lived before his time
He and his dog Spooner
Would listen while he'd rhyme
Words to make ya happy
Words to make you cry
Then one day the poet suddenly did die
But he left behind a closet
Filled with verse and rhyme
And through some strange transaction
One was printed in the Times
And everybody's searchin'
For the king of undergound
Well they found him down in Florida
With a tombstone for a crown
Everybody knows a line
From his book that cost four ninety-nine
I wonder if he knows he's doin'
Quite this fine
'Cause his books are all best sellers
And his poems were turned to song
Had his brother on a talk show
Though they never got along
And now he's called immortal
Yes he's even taught in school
They say he used his talents
A most proficient tool
But he left all of his royalties
To Spooner his ol' hound
Growin' old on steak and bacon
In a doghouse ten feet 'round
And everybody wonders
Did he really lose his mind
No he was just a poet who lived before his time
He was just a poet who lived before his time

As we fly through the tipping points of global warming There are a hundred million or more evangelicals, Q anon and Trumpists who actually want end times because that's when Jesus will return.
The rest of us are doing our part by bringing bags to the store or charging an electric car from coal power plants.

Fires, floods, and heat killed people in the hundreds and now in the tens of thousands. Usually, when something really bad happens we band together and get things done. So the question is, how bad will things have to be before we all join to confront a problem like climate?

Millions died from a pandemic that has nothing to do with the weather but a single close person seems to have more impact than millions of strangers.
Perhaps millions lost to climate isn't enough to mobilize the world.
Is a billion enough ? If a billion of only the poorest people died they may hardly be missed. Five billion people would probably have the desired impact but what could be done by then?

With 5 billion dead that would leave a population of 3 billion, the same as when I was a kid. Wholesale genocide of WWII had only just stopped. Perhaps 3 billion people were too many. One million could not support a global civilization so what number of humans would be stable? Billionaire tribal chiefs would have lost their status and power. Farming communities might make a go of it depending on raiding party threats and climate. As for Jesus, he was a no-show.

Well so much for Storm Agnes. Down yer in Cornwall we were promised severe gales gusting to 70 mph, possible floods, trees down, the works. Yellow warning, wind and rain. It was dry, breezy and bright this morning and I had a nice trot round Bude Canal. The wind picked up to about force 7, definitely not a gale, and it rained quite hard for ten minutes at quarter past three. And now, at 3.40, the sun is beaming out and it's warm and breezy. Very nice.

We're set for an Indian summer here too, sunshiny days until at least the early part of next week with temperatures in the mid-seventies in American money. Strictly speaking there should have been the first frost first, but we have to ignore that ruling here in Cornwall as our first frost is typically well into November or even as late as January. A warm spell around 18 October is sometimes called St Luke's summer, and, if around 11 November, St Martin's summer, after the respective feast days of those saints. But Indian summer cuts it for any nice weather after the equinox. Quiet weather in mid-October with a hint of air frost gives us our best autumn colours, not too frequent an occurrence round here these days.

The Texas State Meteorologist was just interviewed about upcoming weather, and it seems that there is a robust El Niño forming that will give late October through March more rain that is usual. Let's hope it is spread out enough to soak in and to fill the reservoirs, not fall so fast that it washes away down our rivers to the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf doesn't need repeated gushes of topsoil.
