Weather where you are

[Paul Howell]

Where I live, the rain just goes around us and we are still dry as a bone, but cooler now with some nice clouds over head.

Here in the Desert Southwest it has rained on the front porch while it was sunny on my back porch. Early this morning, thundershowers in my area, now overcast temps in the 70s 50% chance of more rain. Good for our winter lawns.

Is the F1 Grand Prix going to happen in Austin Texas on Sunday or is it going to be too wet in the desert for motor racing this weekend ? Forecast doesn't look good for Saturday qualifying.

What's the weather doing where you are? Here in West Cornwall, England it's about 70F and raining quite hard.

a rare N+1 today

Austin is the hill country of East Texas, not a desert, west Texas is much direr, but still wetter than the low deserts. Texas will be hammered all weekend from the moisture streaming up from Hurricane Patrica.

75F and Santa Ana winds. Halloween decorations being blown all over the place!

South Devon, UK. Damp morning but lovely sunny afternoon and very warm for end October in this part of the world.
I'm sure the Met office will tell us it's another record of some kind. Their statiticians seem to be able be a find a unique stat for every day of the year so everyday is some kind of record. Haven't they got anything better to do like actually getting the forecast correct instead of getting it wrong and then telling us its a record.

I had the same without the decorations.

I had the same without the decorations.

I had no decorations out, but now my neighbors have rather haphazardly decorated my yard.

^subtract about 30 degrees, add some humidity, and you have the Seattle area tonight. Quite breezy and cool.

Here in the Desert Southwest, at least the Phoenix area, light rain this AM, mostly sunny, high in the upper 70s, ought to be nice weekend temps in the low 80s then chance of rain next week. If the clouds hold up may make the trip the Lost Dutchman State Park for some sun set shots.

Shorts and T-shirt to photograph today - in November! Incredible light through the early mist.

Unfortunately, even without the statisticians, we're just in the reality that records are going to continue to be broken, again and again.
Long-term average max for October in my part of the world is 22.0C.
This oct we had only 8 days below that, the coldest max was 2.6C below the long-term average. Actual average for last month was 27.1C, hottest day was 36.1C.

Yep, it's gonna be a long hot summer here, pretty much what Californians have had for the last few years is now down under.

well fortunately the UK being in an island country with a temperate climate, a change in climate averages of 2 or 3 degrees dosen't really provide any problems. However, the scientists say that if the gulf stream switches off which it might, then we can expect close to arctic conditions. Still, should provide for new looking scenic snowscapes to photograph.

Very foggy again this morning!

It's strange what people are used to. Heatwave (all 30-35C of it) in the UK a few years ago and people are dropping like flies. Get that over here and people finally start taking their jumpers off. So while your island may be a lot cooler than ours in absolute terms, you'll still get some problems (plus it's not the mean that's rising a bit that's the problem, it's the variance that's getting bigger that you gotta worry about)

Meanwhile, if you want to look at the jetstreams in real time, go to earth.nullschool.net and click on a higher altitude (can't remember which one), but you can see them in all their glory (if you're a nerd like me).

Meanwhile, I wasn't just imagining it, it was officially the hottest Octember on record here...

For the next couple weeks, the NWS is forecasting normal temperatures for the Seattle area, but wetter to much wetter than normal. The Snoqualmie Valley has already flooded with last weekend's pressure washing by Mother Nature. We'll see what this coming weekend brings. Supposed to be wet and windy again.

Alas global warming is not about the mean temperatures rising or hottest years.
It is about the ice melting.
If you leave the deep freeze door open for longer more of the ice will melt.
In the UK our spring and fall seasons are shorter.
We have accurate temperature records from 1604 or so and if you load all of them on an Excel spread sheet and do a standard statistical plug in test you get a very bad answer.

99.73 % of the climate scientists believe it is a problem

UK weather is unusual in the variation it offers in a single day. An Easter day at the seaside can offer the opportunity to sunbathe, shelter from a blizzard and crawl home in dense fog, all in a 24 hour period. Yesterday was a typical grey, cold English November day in the valley. 150ft higher on the hills it was blazing sunshine and summer temperatures. It makes packing suitable clothing for the holidays guesswork.

And in Cornwall those variations can happen in a shorter time span.

A storm front came through last night and the temperatures dropped 20°F. Now we should start getting rain.

 

[Paul Howell]

We are the in tail end of the storm that passed through California a slight chance of rain the low deserts, good chance of light snow in mountains including Flagstaff, cooler temps in the 70 and upper 60s then back to the low 80s by the weekend.
