New instance, new #introduction.

Hello everyone! I’m a meteorologist working at a company that launches #weather balloons. On Mastodon, I toot about #weather, mostly #BCstorm, #WAwx, and #ORwx.

Despite being in the United States, most of my toots will be in metric (ºC, km, etc.). This is the result of a poll from several years ago when I lived in Portland.

I recently moved from White Rock, B.C. to Hermiston, Oregon and am excited to be back in Oregon and closer to family. Some #geology tidbits will be thrown in along with my thoughts on rural life, family life, and my #LDS faith.

I am an avid geocacher with 3119 finds. I enjoy sharing my exploration and also stats on my #geocache finds.

I am also a #HamRadio / #AmateurRadio operator. I also recently discovered #meshtastic and have been playing around with that quite a bit.

Since joining Mastodon several years ago I have lived in Portland, Oregon, White Rock, British Columbia, and now Hermiston, Oregon. I jumped around servers as I moved but I think I will stick around here a while since AI6YR's server is full of people who also live in the science and emergency communication sphere. Thank you Ben for letting me fill your instance with Pacific Northwest weather!

I will work on configuring profile verification soon.

Germany records all-time high of 41.3°C (106.3°F) as exceptional European heatwave shatters records

Germany provisionally recorded its highest air temperature on record on June 26, 2026 as an exceptional late-June heatwave continued to rewrite temperature records across Europe, prompting widespread red heat warnings, disrupting public life and raising concerns over growing impacts on health, infrastructure and ecosystems. #weather #heatwave #Germany

is it me or is this dutch summer's thunderstorms more like the american ones that you see in hollywood movies? I'm used to ones where there's little flashes and then a deep long rumble once in a while, but the ones we've seen the last few weeks are hyperactively flashing ones with more common and loud sharp cracks.

The tides in SR SA

#Weather #prediction #water #H2O #rivers #SR #environment

That was exhilarating!

I got home from my usual library visit to find a lake had been installed along our street. Parking on a speed-bump island, I nipped home for rake and hoe and sallied forth into the wind and rain once more.

The grill at one end of the lake was only lightly blocked, and easily cleared. The grill at the other end was...gone.

I inched round the edge of the lake towards where I remembered it being and leaned out as far as I could to take gutter soundings with the torpedo hoe.

Once I'd located the grill - under about a foot of muddy water - I deployed the garden rake to start bringing up gunk, dragging it up the side of the gutter and across the flooded berm.

My efforts met with no response at first, but then suddenly a hole appeared in the water over the grill, and the lake began to shrink with a sound like the grandfather of all bathtubs.

There wasn't much more to do after that than fish out the occasional new item as it arrived, and watch the water creep away from the high tide line on road & driveways, but watching that spiralling hole in the water was magnetic.

I came home with outer layers sodden and brain whirling with THE POWER and had to sweep the floor and make a cuppa to calm down the delusions of grandeur.

Alas, I did not take my phone with me, so you will have to imagine for yourself the mini-maelstrom I created, complete with rushing waters and powerful gurgling noises.

The map shows various landmasses and water bodies covered by this continuous colour gradient. Numerous small, white text labels for different locations are scattered across both the land and sea areas. A vertical control bar is located on the far right edge of the image, and playback controls are situated at the bottom centre. A colour scale legend transitioning from yellow to dark red is visible in the bottom left corner.

This is a colour photo of a bright yellow seaplane flying across the front of the Golden Gate Bridge on a misty morning with a few boats in the bay below. San Francisco (2017). The still, light blue waters of the San Francisco Bay rise upwards from the base of the image to a little less than the quarter up level. On the water and about one km away, are a few small boats, including a speed boat heading towards the camera and a sailing boat behind. To the left and above centre is a small bright yellow seaplane inflight from left to right. The aircraft is viewed in profile with it's right side in view and perhaps five hundred metres away. While the fuselage and wings are yellow, the two floats underneath are silver. The plane's registration can be seen on the rear of the fuselage, N123JL. The background is partially obscured by a sea fog. A steep headland descends from the right edge of the photo downwards toward the centre and where it enters the water. There, there is a small building with a small lighthouse on the water's edge. Behind and above the lighthouse is the Golden Gate Bridge. The car deck with it's lattice frame below is partially obscured by the sea fog and extends from the right side, through the centre and over to the left side of the image. Slightly to the left of centre, rising from the base of the headland is the north tower that supports that half of the bridge. The colour, 'international orange' can just be made out. A short distance above the car deck the tower disappears and the tower and sky above are totally obscured by the fog.
