“Cat on a Wet Front Porch”

The 3.9 inches (99mm) of rain yesterday evening makes a total of 7.6 inches (193mm) since Saturday. Gardening will be on hold for a few days.

Looking at the wood deck and steps of a small porch. At the top of the steps sits an orange and white cat who is looking off-camera. The steps are wet from rain. The bottom step has a young leaf and seed ball windblown from the sycamore tree.

Good morning tooters. It was another warm night & 13c when I got up. Today it’s supposed to reach 19c. We are definitely heading towards winter now with the temps staying below 20c. There is still some rain around & it is very wet outside but there are patches of blue sky to be seen so I’m hoping for some sunshine later.
Heaps of feijoas this morning. I picked up around 16 so far this morning and I still haven’t got the dehydrator working yet although I have done the pre heating to remove any smells etc. There’s going to be an ongoing noise in the background once I fill it & having it going In my little unit I know the noise will annoy me as it’ll be going for 12-15+ hours & probably overnight. So I’m going to set it up in the spare bedroom & I can shut the door, open the window a bit & just let it do its job.
I’ve baked bread this morning as well. Not my best effort, it has a big dent in the middle, that won’t matter it’ll still be edible. Now I’m going to shower, do a Yin yoga class as my back is touchy, then head out for a haircut & prepare the feijoas to dehydrate when I get home. My day sorted 😁.
Hope everyone has a great #Tuesday, stay safe & dry out there 🌻. #Weather #HomeGrown #Feijoa #Sourdough.

Really bored of this gloomy, overcast, but dry weather now.

Can we please have either:

a) Nice sunny weather, so it's a bit more cheerful

or

b) Proper rain, so my garden gets watered

Honestly I'd settle for either.

Good morning tooters. A warm night again here & 13c when I got up to a very drizzly day & I’m staying home & staying in. Today it’s getting up to 18c & I picked up 10 feijoas this morning which means that the new dehydrator will get its first use today. Other jobs need attending to first including my sourdough bread which needs pre-prep & going into its banneton basket for an overnight rest before early morning baking tomorrow.
I keep thinking of the disgusting budget reply speech by the coalition leader & what he wants to do to non citizens, permanent residents with welfare & knowing this is also PH’s playbook too & it’s ok for people to say it’ll never happen here, but they said that in the US as well. We’re all fine - until we aren’t! I’m an NZ citizen, my kids are NZ citizens, we’ve been here 33 years. There are so many reasons why we didn’t get Aussie citizenship. I started the paperwork a number of times & then gave up - it’s hard & expensive - you muck it up & the money is wasted & you have to start again. My kids aren’t on welfare, but I get the aged pension. Anyway, that’s my head space today 😏.
Hope everyone enjoys their #Monday whatever it is you’re doing, take care out there 🌻. #Weather #Coalition #NastyPolitics

Even #Nature seems not too too thrilled about these temps 🤮 #Toronto and #GTA ... when's Winter ☃️ ?!?

Happy May Long Weekend to all who celebrate..lol Same as every week I'll be working Sat/Sun but not Monday. Usually long weekends mean we're extra crazy at work but with the weather this wknd who knows? We were forecast 2 cm of snow overnight changing to rain but we only had a few minutes of scattered snowflakes just now. Original forecast 7C for today now saying 10. I just hope we actually do get precipitation-planted some peas and potatoes this week.

On an overcast day in a country setting with grass and trees just starting to turn green. An old white guy stands smiling at the camera- me- with glasses and short white goatee/moustache, a faced black cap, faded and holey black shirt, fake faded blue jeans (hey, they were cheap and only for outdoor work!) tucked into black foam/rubber boots (also full holes though you can't see here). I'm standing beside a smallish narrow garden bed which has many small poplar suckers that have been cut and stuck into the soil in kind of an elongated teepee shape, to support future hoped for pea growth. to the other side some more stakes support raspberry canes, behind is an orangey and faded plywood shed and farther back mixed spruce and poplar woods.

Fascinating #weather rainfall pattern. Been going all day.

Good morning Fedi friends. It’s not going to be a warm day today at all, although it was an ok 8c when I got up it’s only going to reach 16c. The sky is very dark & getting darker, no rain has fallen yet but we will get some for sure.
Nine feijoas dropped overnight, they’ll be dropping regularly now. I’ll definitely stop in at Kmart for an inexpensive dehydrator on the way home from my sisters today. I looked online & it seems they have a 4+ star rating. Not much else in the agenda today, just the usual.
Hope you all enjoy your #Sunday, stay safe, stay dry 🌻. #Weather #Garden #Feijoa

Thunderstorms are popping up all around, so our 20-day dry spell is probably ending.

Meanwhile, Ronronia is still on the job guarding the flowerbed (and napping). She actually prefers to be outdoors (under the porch) during storms. If she’s inside, she goes to the door to be let out.

An orange and white cat is resting in among the green plants of the flowerbed. A couple of mostly-spent, orange poppies are above her. In the distance, the sky has jagged dark clouds in front of gray clouds.

@donray We were supposed to get some thunder etc. over here on the east side, but I don't think it happened.

Announcing FediMeteo – Weather in the Fediverse!

UPDATE: I have created an account for updates and other information on FediMeteo - follow the account @admin to stay updated!

UPDATE: Ireland, Poland, Portugal and Switzerland have just been added

Weather has always influenced our lives: from agriculture to outdoor activities, to extreme events that, thanks to modern technology, can now be predicted with greater reliability. Personally, weather plays a significant role in my daily decisions, which is why I decided to create a service tailored for the Fediverse.

FediMeteo uses Open-Meteo data to publish updates every 6 hours, including current weather conditions, forecasts for the next 12 hours, and predictions for the upcoming days. Each country is served by its own dedicated instance (e.g., it.fedimeteo.com for Italy), managed through snac to ensure simplicity and efficiency in publishing.

You can follow FediMeteo directly in the Fediverse (on Mastodon and compatible platforms), via RSS, or by visiting the dedicated page for your city (e.g., fr.fedimeteo.com/paris).

Currently supported countries include:
Austria, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, – with many more regions coming soon!

FediMeteo is hosted on a FreeBSD-based VPS, with each country isolated in its own jail to ensure security and scalability.

Visit the main site to explore the national instances and start following your local weather updates today:
https://fedimeteo.com

Happy weather monitoring to all! 🌦️

FediMeteo is dedicated to my grandfather, who every evening would give me the weather forecast based on TV, radio, and his personal experience. He would convince me that the weather would be bad, so he had an excuse to accompany me to school instead of me going alone.

It rained, yesterday, hard and bleakly unceasing. I splashed my way along the local wetlands being dragged by the lead in my hand and the dog in the harness to which the lead was attached. I am not fond of rain, like that, and yet, at night, when I lay myself in bed, unable to sleep, I love to hear it pounding on the top of the conservatory. Also, in the daytime, at a time I can stay indoors, I love to watch two raindrops meeting, merging, and continuing, as one, down the glass.

Why is a huge chunk of the #BOM #weather and #climate #data now hidden from taxpayers via a subscriber model? Is this what the remodeling of the website was really about?
