Scotland has enjoyed some dry and, for us, hot weather, with temps in the mid to high twenties. But the media habit of constantly referring to a UK heatwave when we’ve had wind and intermittent rain for the past week or so has irritated me. As usual, the UK doesn’t seem to extend to Scotland. So this morning, when the Guardian ran a piece asking how readers are being affected by the heatwave, I submitted a response saying “Hardly at all”.

The special #weather statement warning regarding possible heavy rains (100mm !) is still up, but the radar looks like the threat is somewhat diminished at this point.

A big system - Boston, NYC, Washington are all getting more of this than we are, I suspect.

phew, I was worried we'd have to go 24 hours without a severe storm with torrential rain, large hail, and damaging winds.

The forecast for Sappington, MO

You can literally feel the air outside. It's thick and wet. It's going to get a few degrees hotter by mid afternoon. It's fucking miserable right now. We have the AC turned up to 78°F to conserve a little power while we're gone but all the fans are on moving air for pets so we're probably not saving much electricity.

It's currently 95°F/35°C with a feels like with humidity temperature of 117°F/47°C.

Apocalyptic video of forest fires in Spain.

Canada and France are burning too.

It's truly depressing, our politicians are busy helping orange shitler and Netanyahu destroy the world and act like global heating and climate catastrophe is not important enough to put all their energy and resources on.

Over 25000 people evacuated in France, Madrid is dangerously close to be burned and 100s of . millions of trees burned down across the globe.

As if our pollution wasn't enough,we are loosing our valuable trees too.

“The European drought is a compound crisis, driven by prolonged precipitation deficits and extreme heat, with impacts already evident despite the summer only just beginning.

Wildfire activity has also intensified rapidly in western Europe. The drought is placing severe strain on agriculture”

This is a black and white photo in landscape format of a busy airport taxiway surrounded by fog with a long line of aircraft waiting to takeoff. JFK, New York (2011). One third of the way to the right of the left edge of the photo is a long solid line stretching along the centre of the taxiway and away from the camera. A short distance to the right of the centre line (about ten cm) is a line of lights inset into the tarmac, spaced every few metres. About ten metres to the left and right of the centre line are two parallel solid lines marking the edge of the taxiway, one either side, though the tarmac continues for a distance of another five or ten metres beyond. Further to the right is a wide grass area before a small portion of a parallel runway is in view. Surrounding this scene is a bright, white, morning fog with a visibility of no more than five hundred metres. In front of the camera is a row of five aircraft on the taxiway waiting for their turn to take off. The closest aircraft is about ten metres from the camera, is a Boeing 737 narrow body, shorthaul aircraft with two jet engines slung under the wings and small winglets on the wingtips. Beyond the queue of aircraft is a further larger aircraft, about five hundred metres away, at right angles to the taxiway and is on the runway and starting its takeoff roll, this aircraft is partially obscured by the fog. Above and beyond is filled with a large body of bright, morning fog.

Thunderstorms are crossing the Portland, Oregon area south-to-north into southeastern Washington State. The clouds seem to have capped the high temperatures short of the forecasted 100F/37C. #Portland #Oregon #ORwx #WAwx #weather

NWS radar snapshot showing a line of thunderstorms crossing Portland, Oregon

Who's surprised about thunderstorms in Oregon & Washington? There's always someone who says we "never" get thunderstorms. I heard the same thing when I lived in California. Thunderstorms are weird that at least small ones happen far more often than most people realize. Meteorologists & pilots are trained to recognize cumulonimbus clouds, or storm cells on weather radar. Without such training, most people need to hear thunder or see lightning to recognize a thunderstorm. #weather #ORwx #WAwx #PNW

The completely predictable thunderstorm that is going on right now is why we don't trust forecasters as much as our eyes.

This was a tip in from a stepladder.

Good morning! Once we returned to the #mtwashington base lodge the #weather improved immensely. #nh #photography
