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

It must be awful for
the great areas of inhabited land
struggling with wildfires now, in the heat.

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.

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.

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.

Rain here has cooled temperatures down strikingly,
as it has been a hot muggy August.

Other Mudcatters, I see on other threads,
are rejoicing in the rain, where they live.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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?

Enjoy your new weather station,

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

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.

Very pleasant indeed,

"Graupel." I learned a new word.
It describes tiny pellets of ice precipitation
somewhere between sleet and small hail,
with ice and snow mixed together. Or something.
That's what fell out of the sky two days ago ...
in May, in the northern hemisphere.
Today it was just plain rain.
Rain is all right though.
The plant kingdom is greening and growing like gangbusters now,
and the growing green things
need all the rain they can get right now.
Even if there is a chilly wind blowing.

And with our luck,
we will go from early spring
straight into summer ...

Today, the weather in New England
reserves the right to change its mind.

Bright sunshine first thing in the morning.
Followed by snow.
Followed by bright sunshine,
and this time, gusty winds.
Followed by small hail, or maybe, large sleet?
All within a period of maybe six hours.
And the month is May ...

Weather is pretty comprehensive today.
Sure there is wind, direction, speed and air pressure, dewpoint, temperature along with sun duration, X ray sun storms and lunar phases.
We also report fires earthquakes and tsunamis along with pollen mold spores arroyos tornados hurricane rain hail snow ice and fog.
I think airborn virus has its own coverge but we have no direct means to measure it. I have yet to see an animation of viral infection but there will be soon.
