August 2024 Forecasts And Discussions

It was a pretty short t-storm but we're getting an encore, more thunder, rain and fairly high cloud with a yellowish cast. Looks like proper t-storm weather.

We reached a high of 24c @ the pond in south Sardis, we had at least 45 minutes of decent thunder and lightning in the central valley last night. l was surprised l could also see distant flashes to my west Abby/Mission corridor flashes were basically in all directions at times.

Ok, you're up to bat now, severe thunderstorm watch out now for your area.

Watched a tstorm travel behind mission westward. Lost energy once the sun went down and by 8:30 it was pretty much dead. Now half the amount of cloud and no action.

l didn't even leave the dugout skipper Gimps that was worse than one of Wrinkle Rocks legendary snowfalls

Back to boring weather.

AQ and smoke doesn't look too bad this week.

My weather model forecast is predicting a season of Pumpkin Spice Latte and Christmas decoration starting this week or next. I already saw a tiny smattering of Christmas lights at Costco and Halloween decor is already appearing in stores like Costco and Walmart.

I read an article today it says they figure El Nina will not be as strong perhaps. That could be a good thing it's currently a surprisingly 26c @ the fish pond in south Sardis.

Maybe it was an AI article.

Interesting. I read on here a while back that cold kills more people on earth than warm by a long shot, without stats to back it up.

Doesn't seem to track...according to this article https://www.theguardian.com/world/arti ... year-study heat killed around 50,000 in Europe last year. I think back to 2003 where it killed 70,000 over the course of a few days.

Of course in a more local anecdote, we had a mass death event here in the infamous heat dome 2021. I can't recall the last mass death event like this from cold weather...obviously in part because almost everyone has a heat source. But also IMO because of a certain shall not be named global phenomenon.

People are really sleeping on extreme heat as a dangerous part of the here and now. There needs to be A/C installed at all retirement and nursing homes and should probably be mandatory in new condo builds as well.
