I've just bought a new weather station.

Th old one failed some time back, it only lasted a few years before the wind speed bearings gave out quickly followed by the wind direction indicator bearings.

I've gone for a different design this time.

My maximum reading on the wind speed on the old one was 124mph but I think it was failing then and giving spurious readings. Maximum that I have faith in was 86mph, which was caused by a violent thermal passing over, not quite a tornado, but in that family of events.

Enjoy your new weather station,
caterpillar wrestler.

An electrical storm yesterday knocked out the power for a few hours.
Possibly more of the same today, along with the heavy rain.

Hurricane Fay has been and gone,
and there was footage on the news from
a platform on a station of the New York City subway:
rainwater flowing down the stairsteps from the streets above,
rushing over the station platform,
and pouring off to the tracks below.
maybe somebody can link to the video?

how's it doing where you are?

54 degrees here at 8:30 pm, the high for today here in southeast Alaska. Tomorrow is forecast warmer at a blazing 61. Showery today. it's been a wet summer so far.

I'm on my fifth month of exile in my apartment. Thinking of starting short walks soon. I can see how people stand 20 years in prison- the time goes very fast.

"Alone in the dark with nothing but your thoughts, time can draw out like a blade. That was the longest night of my life." said Morgan Freeman in the Shawshank Redemption.

Space-time is relative.
Talking about the weather used to be an innocuous alternative compared to talking about religion or politics.

I read in the BS section that
somebody had Jewish Christmas in July, how nice!

Which means:
The tradition at Christmas, for
New York Jewish-Americans, is to dine at a Chinese restaurant.
And go to the cinema.

So a Mudcatter in the Southern Hemisphere, where
they also have social-distance and beware of COVID-19,
dined out at a Chinese restaurant for the first time
in lo! these many months.

A tornado elsewhere in the county
a few nights ago;
and last night the electrical thunderstorm
knocked out the power for some time.

No fans or refrigerated air most of the night,
and it was a really humid sweaty night at that.

Another cold rainy day yesterday,
and this in the hemisphere
in which August is supposed to be one of the hot sunny months --
someone where I am staying
got caught in the downpour yesterday,
and is home sick today
with a hoarse voice and a scratchy throat. In August.
Much as though it were autumn already.

Very hot (100 degrees all week), with lots of smoke and ash. Nearest fire is 30 miles away outside Nevada City California. It took out a favorite hiking trail on the Yuba River, and forced many folkies to evacuate.

Down here in Oz we've just had two of the coldest days ever (last time we were this cold was when we were in Canada, late in 2018) courtesy of an 'Antarctic blob' - isn't that a wonderful technical term?

None of your polar vortexes (vortices?) here......we have blobs.

Today is currently - 10.45 a.m. - sunny, but cold. Forecast is for 14 deg C but of course it will feel colder, not surprising because it is still winter.

It's behaving like some sort of monsoon season here;
there are mountains, so maybe that contributes?

struggling with wildfires now, in the heat.

North Texas is north of 100.

106^o yesterday, 107^o today. The heat index (what it feels like with the humidity) is around 112^o. The weekend through Monday are supposed to be a little better, around 103^o. Thankfully there is a chance of rain early next week.

It was a very nice spring day today, except that it's not spring yet! Seems that we are in for a spell of unseasonably warm weather, something not unknown in the tail end of winter. The longer term forecast is for a rainy spring, after a dry start.

In this dry land, rain is good.

Well, today is quite pleasant, mild and cloudy. It *might* rain later - rain would be welcome - and possibly/probably tomorrow too, before warming up for a sunny Friday.

Tomorrow, 1st October, we officially hit "storm season".....our late spring-summer-early autumn months can be very unpredictable.

We are staring down the barrel of summer, but hopefully (I say this every year) it won't be too hot.

I hear that one of the wildfires in the state of Colorado
is known as the East Troublesome Fire,
and another as the Ice Fire for its proximity to Ice Lakes.

I also hear that Colorado has had a bit of snow,
which does its modest part to keep the wildfires contained --
don't recall if the snowstorm had winds,
which would of course make the wildfires worse.

if they could sort of turn about-face

Instead they drift north and east
and soak the Atlantic seaboard.

Raining the proverbial cats and dogs out there.
Most of the leaves are off the trees by now.
Many are still on the ground, and all this past week,
the teams of maintenance / landscapers in their trucks with their leaf blowers
have been all over the local towns,
and they still have yet to get ALL of the leaves.
We still have lush green grass, from all the rain.
