Don't let your allergy guard down; incoming cold front could spike cedar pollen again

Though the weather has warmed up and allergens have seemingly subsided for a few days, one can never get too comfortable when it comes to tree pollen.

The fog crept in on little cat feet,
Looked around at this grey, grey day in Michigan,
And coughed up a hairball.

Ugh, what a grey, rainy, foggy January day.

January 6, 2026, Wolverine Lake, Michigan.

Ok, the real #question. What about a #homelab in a #garage? It is a separate building with not very tight gates. I'm not worrying about the summer, but in winter it could be cold. Like -10 C outside, and I think it would be the same for the inside of the garage.
And what about the humidity? It is a dry place until it isn't raining. I mean, the roof is fine, but the outside humidity gets inside really fast through the gaps between the gate and the wall.

I've been looking at the temperatures currently forecast for this coming week. I thought it was going to be hot enough here in Ballarat peaking at 39℃ but it seems that it's going to be much warmer elsewhere with Mildura peaking at 46℃, Wodonga at 45℃, and Broken Hill at 43℃.

46℃ being 115℉ on the older scale. That's the sort of temperature that'll knock out older power distribution networks - just when people want to run air conditioning to cope.

There's a dusting of snow on narrowboat roofs, and a thin layer of ice on the water. The sun is doing its best to brighten things up, and to power the solar panels.

Everyone's staying warm: the solid-fuel burner (wood stove), diesel heater, electric radiator, and simple pillar candle all have their role to play.

I hate to admit this, but I may be responsible for the unseasonably mild winter so far in Montana. I've kept my snowbrush too handy in my car, and now the snow is staying away. I'll have your weather forecast tonight!

@gwenbeads
Wouldn't it depend upon the composition and density of the 'haze'? If it were 100% absorbing black particles then I think it might tend towards a 1/d^3 law. If the particles were tiny spheres of water or ice crystals then colour dependant refraction, reflection and scattering would also all be happening at the same time, somewhat complicating the issue.
Is there even such a thing as 'pink light'? :-)

Flooding, wildfires and microbursts: A look back at Central Texas' biggest weather stories of 2025

Catastrophic flash flooding, a microburst, tornadoes and winter storms kept our meteorologists busy throughout 2025. Here's a look back at the biggest weather events of the year across Central Texas.

Very pleasant night camped out in a friends's driveway in Sierra Vista AZ. It's warmer here than my last spot and I'm plugged into power so I can run my (quieter) electric heater. Only woke once in the middle of the night and managed to get right back to sleep.

I'll be here for a few days. Good thing; #weather is turning bad and my solar panels might need generator assist to keep the batteries charged. Although it's going to be pretty warm so I'd need less heat… 🤷🏼‍♀️ #RoadTrip #RVLiving #WX

Alt...

Weather forecast for Sierra Vista showing rain for the next two days and nights with temperatures ranging from 45°F to 65°F.

Question for, I guess, meteorologist and associated experts.

Whenever the temperature dips below zero there's a real likelihood the #DMI #weather model is wrong for our place. Very often the actual temperature we measure (sheltered, not in the wind) is much lower.

I can see some contributing circumstances in landscape but not much that can explain a consistent three or four degrees deviation. I ruled out faulty thermometers (tried three at the same time, showing the same).

Any idea?

Looking overhead into the blue blue sky, framed by fir and other trees, you can see lines of small fluffy clouds. These are white, pretty small and appear to ride on ripples in the sky. They ported fair weather. Hopefully! For a few days!

Exactly one year ago, on 30th December 2024, I laid the foundation of FediMeteo.

I took a VM, installed FreeBSD, and set up the first jail to support Italy. The goal was to create a tool for my own use, support a few countries, and announce it.

Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm was incredible. That pushed me to keep going, support more countries and cities, and turn it into what it is today.

FediMeteo now supports 38 countries and 2,937 cities, with more than 7,700 followers in the Fediverse alone, not counting the many people who follow via RSS feeds or visit the web pages.

Today is also Tuesday, a #ThankYouTuesday, so I want to say thanks to:

* OpenMeteo - @openmeteo - for providing accurate, high quality data, without which FediMeteo would be far less useful

* @grunfink - creator of snac, who made all of this possible using very few resources, on a 4 euro per month VM

* FreeBSD, which thanks to the efficiency of the OS and its jail implementation made it possible to run this service in a stable and efficient way with minimal effort

* FediFollows - @FediFollows - that periodically spreads the word about cities, countries, and the enthusiasm around the project

*All of you*, who suggested, encouraged, corrected, and celebrated this project

And forward toward supporting more countries and other interesting features already in the works.

Happy birthday, FediMeteo! 🎉
