Updated 11:03 am EDT Jul. 8, 2026 : A major update to an influential hurricane forecast says the 2026 hurricane season could be among the calmest in recent memory, thanks to the influence of a powerful El Niño.
Meteorologists from Colorado State University on July 8 said they now expect four fewer storms than initially forecast in the April Atlantic hurricane season outlook. “ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/weather/2026/07/08/powerful-el-nino-rewrites-major-hurricane-forecast/90783718007/ #ElNino #weather

Yesterday I finished the book Wilder Weather, which was a pleasant weave of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s narrative descriptions of the world around her with the #weather and #climate of the Great Plains in her day.
The overarching theme is one of the importance of narrative telling and also the changes that have occurred over the past 170 years or so due to #ClimateChange.
I also enjoyed the connection to my family history. I am descended from her grandparents. My line homesteaded Montana and later Oregon.

Not a cloud in the sky! Bare winter tree. My favourite weather: cold, clear, and bright.

This is what I mean when I say be weather aware.

The source of my misery. It actually isn't the worst with the ceiling fans, but after going in the basement where it's cool, it feels like the temp jumped 10°F. It's 85°F in the house.
I only use ac a couple weeks a year, but I like it for those couple weeks. I'll go to the store tomorrow for a new capacitor, and hopefully that fixes it.

Have fun giving your speech, Donny. And don't worry about exploding nearly a million fireworks shells under a heat dome; I'm sure the "Code Purple/Very Unhealthy" air quality won't dare reach the White House private quarters. #FourthOfJuly #wx #weather
Hey #Fediverse tech friends and weather geeks.
Anyone have recommendations for a home weather station that doesn't send your data out?
Indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity are preferred. If it has a air pollution sensor that would also be nice.
Yes I am looking at analog, but I'm curious what digital options exist.
It would be interesting to have some kind of weather station for wind/rain type stuff, but all the ones I see report to Amazon/Google

After a week of hot #weather, today is a reward: It's 27°C outside, sunny with an occasional breeze.
I wish the whole summer were like today.
