All well enough for Wangaratta Cap, but here in the far southeast corner we are still waiting for a decent frost (I need them to ripen my truffles). While the May high daily average was 0.5 degrees below the long term, the low average was 0.7 degrees above the long term.
There is an incredibly zonal jetstream around the Antarctic rim which appears to be forcing the resident highs further north but may be inhibiting any breakout from the Southern Ocean into Australia.
Meanwhile, Weatherzone are calling ‘Darwin’s hottest May in over a century’, plus, ‘Warm and Humid May breaks records’. At the same time they are saying ‘Winter starts chilly’, while here in my back yard, the lows for the first three days of June are 2.4 degrees above the long term. “Go figure” as they say.
Don’t blame Cap (sarc) blame MITHER NATURE & FATHER SOL😁👍
SERIOUSLY it will get stranger in the next 3-5 decades so prepare accordingly. Great Day cuz We are ALIVE👍🇺🇸
What’s it like, sailing on a boat? I’ve tried to remember, but if I was ever on boat, it was more than 50 years ago. I must have done, because I remember the up and down sensation came back to me when I closed my eyes in bed thpat night. I must have been a kid, maybe pretty young.
MO’s continuous thunder last week from a cyclone from solar flares. How many seconds was the thunder? Windy radar shows lightning and has sound equal to strength I watch the whole storm from Texas Tornados to Canada. 1000 tornados USA in May from solar flares. How many X and M flares in May?
Sailing can be the best or the worst day and or anything in between.
I like watching people on the water from the security of dry land. I used to enjoy the sailboarders on the Columbia River at Hood River. So colorful!
I’m still working on creating my own Matrix. The concept has really caught my imagination. It seems to me that you can intentionally set the parameters of it. Normally, we do this unintentionally. For instance, I decided I would like to live in a Matrix where people are kind to one another. In order to bring this about, I must be kind to others, obviously. Now I have never been an especially kind person, as you know, but I have been aspiring to such, with variable success.
For some reason, the notion that I am creating a kind Matrix to live in helps me with that. I suppose the next step would be to avoid unkind people, in real life but even like entertainers. By doing this, I have changed one of the parameters of the Matrix I live in.
If it works out, I might write a book(let). I doubt I have the staying power to write a whole book and no friends in publishing. I would have to self publish.
After this, I may think about creating a nomadic lifestyle for myself. I’ve done it before, and it suits me well.
Thunder for ten minutes has to be some kind of record,
Big Klamath River restoration project NE Cali to W Oregon after removing dams there. Many people involved through the Redwoods into the Pines and down to the Fir and Cedar zones. Recreate the old river, forest and salmon populations. https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-03-24/klamath-river-restoration
Between El Nino and La Nina or neutral. Law of averages we’re La Nada half the time Nino/Nina a quarter. I just looked it up on Bing search and it won’t give me the wiki link just the same revolving door articles. Look it up there’s info. La Nada weather pattern is more variable.
This article about the Klamath River is an example of good news. Nice to hear that. I read the whole article. Very interesting.
Someone commented that the thunder I heard was from multiple lightning strikes that were not visible because of a layer of thick lower clouds. He said it was an uncommon but normal phenomenon.
How accurate do you think that UAH chart is? It makes a great case for global warming since 1979.
I take it all with a grain of salt these days. I don’t believe anything on the Internet now unless it’s a gardening channel or Cesar Milan (the Dog Whisperer), lol.
Well, I also believe the weather radar. It said was raining, and it was. But climate change -phooey! Overall, it’s the same here as it’s always been, but even more unstable than it was, which is going some for Missouri. Can’t say it’s trending either hotter or cooler tho.
My yard looks much the same as it always does, but I “cultivate” native plants, which are used to the screwy weather. I don’t mess with exotic imports, like wheat, lol.
By cultivate, I mean I just don’t pull them out, so they come back every year. I have lamb’s quarters, perilla, wild lettuce, violets. Some things I planted, but they are ones that have become wild and adapted here, like asparagus and day lilies and prickly pears. I’ve also been getting mullein and echinacea.
I don’t do much for these plants. I dump my used potting soil from my container gardens on them so they can get some extra nutrients. They are low maintenance, like me. Guess that’s why I like them, lol.
April was top, May dropped. When I first read about GSM in 2012 UAH GT was way lower on the chart then now. SC25 was supposed to be nil and it’s way bigger than predicted.
Solar flares light off volcanos so the big cooling could be from a big solar flare any second so I watch solar flares and volcanos and the planetary alignments that set the flares off. I’m not waiting for the lack of flares to cool us down it could happen way before solar minimum like December Mercury in retrograde.
Eventually it’s going to get cold for years can’t argue with the interglacial chart, it’s not different this time.
109F forecast for Eastern Washington NW USA next week. Pacific Ocean temp is 54F. That temp difference in that distance gives strong West wind forecast going up the Columbia River Gorge like a funnel. You can harvest that energy and trade it for gold nuggets and buy more dirt farm gear. 109F already, here we go.
I’d forgotten the incessant wind in the Columbia Gorge until you said that. It’s like the dripping water torture. It’s hardly noticeable at first, but it’s EVERY day, and after a year or two it starts to drive you mad!
But it does account for the beautiful windsurfers (sailboarders, same same), the silver lining.
As for the climate, I’ll believe it when I see it. I have to prepare for anything here anyway.

Sunny and 75F here in Missouri. Sitting in the park, eating my Sausage Biscuit from McD’s, still on my two feet.
What more can you ask for?
I would think during seasonal change is the least likely times for weather behaviors to be “normal.”
Scotland in the Iceland volcano plume from X flares. Major event, the plume is going over the N Pole, down E Greenland at hurricane speed around a cyclone N of Iceland.

Yellowstone had a mag 3.2 and Hawaii volcano has quake swarm 129 last count last 24 hours from X flares.

Thunder lasted about 10 minutes.

That sounds too absolute. Nobody is kind 100% of the time.
It’s about the percentages.
It’s a work in progress.

El Nino drops to weak from moderate. La Nada this Summer until La Nada stage.

What’s that big warm patch mid N Pacific? Watch how warm the Baltic gets:

Looks to me that the global temp shot way up in May. How does that square with”cold times returning”?
