-Local temperatures have gone down but that is a mixed blessing as the decreases are due to thunderstorms which are causing fires on both the west and east slope of the Sierra.
-Nothing close to us at present.
-The McKinney fire in the Siskiyou National Forest (California-Oregon border) started late last week. CalFire reports it is now at 56,460 acres (88.25 mi²; 25,664 ha) and zero % contained as of 1930 hours Pacific Standard Time 2022 AUG 02.
-When getting gas yesterday I saw BLM (Bureau of Land Management) fire crews from Arizona passing through on their way to the fire.

Siskyiou County has been hit hard with lightning strikes - even now as I type this, I am lookingnat the massive thunderheads towering to the north.
Aside from the McKinney fire, which has claimed four victims so far, there are five other fires in the vicinity.

It's kinda wet and with the way its going around the world, maybe we should change GB55 to Ark building....................................
-Local thunderstorms just started.
-In addition to warnings about fires started by lightening we are now under a flash flood watch: not as serious as a flood warning or an actual flood but two lane roads in the mountains are easily disrupted.
-And the fires in/near Yosemite continue...

The latest on the news from the Aus BoM yesterday was the Tonga volcano ash was trapping moisture in the air in Aus and causing higher temperatures and rainfall than normal.
What they neglected to say was the magnificent sunsets we are having are caused the same way.

Thankfully our humidity is low. Google is down for me right now, but it's drier than it has been, even though the HI indicates otherwise. The radiant heat from the sunlight today was harsh.

And here is a link to a similar report on the Tongan ash cloud

Tonga's volcanic eruption may temporarily increase the Earth's surface temperature
The massive eruption of a Tongan volcano this year released a record amount of water into the Earth's atmosphere, enough to temporarily warm the globe, NASA scientists say.

So, now, besides cow farts and evil IC engines, we have to worry about earth burps.

Was hot and humid all day. Severe Thunderstorms been rolling through the last few hours.
Sunny with some clouds. Around 24C/75F…
-My town is too small to get weather data. The nearest city with records and real weather stations is Reno, which gets more precipitation than we do.
-The first seven months of 2022 Reno received 0.73" (1.85cm) of precipitation. This includes the water equivalent of snow. In one hour this week Reno received 1.22" (3.1cm); this resulted in numerous flash floods, mud slides and road closures.
-We are, at present (1530 PST 2022 AUG 05) receiving our "dose" of rain. Think driving through thin fog: barely enough to require windshield wipers; just enough to get the roads slick.

We got 8mm in ten minutes starting at 04:35 today.
I don't know if I like that or not.
In the eleven years since we bought this place, until this year, I never cut the grass in most of May thru to late September and only once then before Christmas. We normally start buying water for the house about now and for the garden sometime in early October.
I spent the last two days mowing grass, and have needed to do so every couple of weeks since January, the tanks are overflowing without us buying a single litre and the dam is not far from overflowing. I should be counting my blessings but they are starting to become "boring".
According to the older locals we are back to the normal weather from the 1950's through 1980's.
