bushfires are raging around the country, we also are in the midst of severe drought affecting large parts of the country & today parts of Sydney are suffering from a wild storm.

Sydney storm cuts power to 47,000 homes as 90km/h winds bring down trees

Tho not in my part of Sydney, we just had leaves & twigs around street trees & in gardens. Tomorrow's forecast 23C (approx 76F) Sunny. Winds west to southwesterly 15 to 25 km/h becoming light early in the morning then becoming east to northeasterly 25 to 35 km/h in the early afternoon.

Now that its after several killing frosts the metro DC area has a earthy bacterial biome that has a decay aroma of rotten apples and skat. Weather has its oders too you know. Boston usually smells like fish.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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

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.....

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.

Nice, Donuel!
In much less poetic terms, here in Rhode Island the days are comfortable for outdoor activities and the nights are comfortable for sleeping! I'd be happy with weather like this all year, but I suppose plants could use more rain than we've been getting. In the small valley in which I dwell, few leaves have changed color yet. Things usual get bright about two weeks from now, but forecasters say that may be delayed slightly this year because temperatures have been so mild.

Picture perfect, that's what.
Cloudless blue sky and sunshine,

I'm in Florida, Joe, but just a few miles south of the Alabama border.

No real effects from Dorian here, but I've heard reports of amateurishly drawn black lines crossing Interstate 65, US-31, and US-84 in the Monroeville and Evergreen area.

I was driving home from a music session in Pensacola last night, a trip which entails driving east on Interstate 10 for about ten miles. During that short stretch, I saw three or four convoys of utility trucks traveling westbound with their yellow warning lights flashing.

I was a bit confused at first since they were obviously emergency response teams from points west (Alabama, Mississippi, etc.) sent to help restore power post-Dorian, and Dorian was on the east coast. That meant either they or I was driving in the wrong direction!

Then I deduced that they had probably been pre-positioned outside the storm's anticipated impact zone (like in Tallahassee) and got sent home as unneeded when damage turned out to be less than feared.

Doesn't look like SWFL will be affected but it's moving slowly up the east coast of Florida with the eye around Stuart/Fort Pierce. Let's hope it stays offshore.
Oh, and according to one expert metorologist, President Donald Schlump, the folks in his beloved Alabama better watch out, at least the ones wearing the red ball caps, forget the rest.

Hi all! It’s 86f going up to 92f in Tallahassee. . We are preparing for Dorian whose path is coming in our direction around Labor Day. As many of you know I have been caring for my dad who turns 96 next month. This will be the fourth hurricane in fall in a row for us. The last two were the worst, of course. Dorian is now a category three. The gulf coast around Mexico Beach and inland was devastated last year.

I am weary of hurricanes. I have to keep dad cool and feed him, but he isn’t eating a lot anymore. ..... I started this thread eighteen years ago. We all have concerns about the weather, eh? All is well in my world, though. I play Bessie Smith’s BackwaterBlues on my Radio King parlour guitar and Little Gray Mockingbird by the late Dennis Dunne on autoharp.
Love, harpgirl.
