The Weather Where You Live?

[Vic Balshaw]

That weather over Reno way sounds a bit like the monsoon weather an the Jabal Samhan at the back of Salalah in Oman, lots of mist hanging around for weeks at a time. Makes the place nice and green afterwards.

A friend said his favorite grass color is brown. That doesn't happen often in south Louisiana. My neighbor cuts his grass twice a week. Mine is too wet, the mower gets stuck.

The weather on the west coast of the U.S. is a weird creature.

Tropical moisture from the Carribean can get trapped between the Rockies and Sierra Nevada mountains and unloads in Arizona, Nevada and so on.
If a storm off the coast of California pushes back the typical high pressure, the Pacific moisture comes inland and we end up with monsoon-like weather, especially if the high pressure system in the northern desert areas (like Nevada, Utah, etc.) stalls the weather. It just unloads like a mule pissing on a flat rock.

The downside to this monsoon type weather, is that here in Northern California, much of the heavier moisture-laden clouds have evaporated and we're left with excessive dry lightning.

Which in this most recent case, has started quite a few large fires in the area

Waiting on the rain to bed in the "Dynamic Lifter" I sprinkled about on the garden yesterday. Currently 3C outside with low dense cloud.

Hot does not begin to cover it lately. Triple digits in the day time with lows in the high 70's overnight.

Had a rare treat the past few days, upper 90's (mid 30's C) with evening lows in the upper 60's (around 20C) but we're expected to get back to around 109°F (42C) for the rest of the week with a chance of Thunderstorms.

Rain storms every day for the last two weeks and now again as we speak.
I wish it could go where needed.

 

[Gnomey]

Warm and sunny. Around 33C/91F…

 

[Wayne Little]

had a pretty reasonable 16c today with the sun out most of the day...

 

[Thumpalumpacus]

We're having our first decent rain in weeks. Some thunder, and it may intensify later, but right now it's gentle and has dropped the temp to the mid-80s.

We really need five or six weeks of this to start recovering from our four-year drought. We're forecasted the next week for six days with precip %s between 30 and 70%.

Typical Norman weather : it's sunny and it rains...

 

[Wurger]

A sunny day but with cold wind blasts. 21/22 °C

 

[GrauGeist]

Another warm day ahead - forecast calls for a high of 111° (43C)

The past week or so, the highs have ranged from 107° (41C) to 117° (47C), though it looks like things will be cooling down into the upper 90s next week.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

It's raining.

 

[GrauGeist]

It's raining.

By any chance, could you send some this way?

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Currently it is 110 F at the pool bar.

-Well, the temperature isn't bad. We had two nights of thunder but, of course, no rain. Summer rains in the daytime often don't make it to the ground anyway.
-For the past two days our air quality index has been in the "Unhealthy" to "Very Unhealthy" range, topping at 297 at 1AM PST this morning, due to the fires in California.
-Downieville, CA, is currently at 444. Downieville is currently at 83 times the WHO annual air quality guideline value...
-We can't see our mountains in any direction due to the smoke/haze.
