Wear a sweater.Technically it's still winter here in Australia and yet next week we are forecast to hit 33°C (91.4°F). Yuck!!!
It's uncanny, were expecting 20C (68F)for the next couple of days and the usual morning frosts have been non existent for the last couple of weeks. All the wattles, flowering almonds and cherry's are in full bloom. It's nature gone mad.Technically it's still winter here in Australia and yet next week we are forecast to hit 33°C (91.4°F). Yuck!!!
Good stuff there. I like how they had to change the name of the alternate route from Mammoth Escape Route to Mammoth Scenic Loop.-Living in the lee of the Sierra Nevada mountains isn't too bad. It has been a warm summer, not exceptional, even a little rain. The average humidity hovers around 7% so rain is sparse and infrequent. The temperature has been in the high 80s-low 90s (low 30s C) but we're having an August "cold snap" to daily high in the low 70s (low 20s C).
-On the other hand... Are earthquakes considered weather? Nevada is the third most geologically active state on the continent after Alaska and California. This Wednesday there was a flurry of minor quakes, 1.9-2.2, just south of us. This morning we got four quakes between 0645 and 0900 PST, 3.0, 3.3, 4.3 and 2.9. They were all just to the east of the largest ammunition depot in the US in Hawthorne, NV. Get your Comp B shaken, not stirred!
-We're also very close to the Long Valley Caldera. See: Long Valley Caldera - Wikipedia
-I'll write more later. Maybe.
Wear a sweater.
40C roughly equals 100F. We have only had 33 locally so far this WINTER but hotter is predicted. We also had the coldest and wettest winter for many a year.
