Hey #MAWx and other #Weather peeps: My server (toot.community) is folding in a few months so I need to migrate this account to a new server. I'm looking for suggestions for a new home. Stability, size (prefer something in the middle - not a large server like mastodon.social), and keeping up with code updates are important (i.e. must be running at least v4.6 now). Proximity to Massachusetts / Boston would be nice but not required. Thanks in advance!

What people don't understand is that these fires, they destroy the only defense we have against the out of control global warming.

millions, if not billions of trees were lost just in the past few weeks and no amount of plantation will bring them back.

It will take years and decades for those forests to return to the condition they were before the fire and in the mean time, we keep increasing our carbon emission for useless crap like over consumption, war, useless technology with pre-planned obsolescence and obsession with global tourism.

We can't change our way of life, majority of people are just too dumb to be willing to sacrifice their comfort and "do as usual" lifestyle to TRY slowing down this existential treat to our lives.

We may just give up fighting and enjoy it while it lasts!

Got caught up in crazy torrential rain, no visibility at all. People had to pull over to the shoulder. Even that was difficult because you had to guess where the shoulder was, the rain was so bad.

This area of Ontario goes get bad storms, it's high up on the Escarpment.

With climate change, the storms will get larger.

This is a black and white photo in landscape format of a cargo ship passing through a bank of thick sea fog and approaching the Golden Gate Bridge. San Francisco Bay (2017). A mass of sea fog fills the lower half of the photo, a little thinner in the lower left corner, a little thicker and more dense to the right. To the left and below centre in the zone of thinner fog, is the partial view of a cargo ship, with just the stern's white superstructure and less than a third of the aft section of the black hull in sight. The ship is underway from left to right, the stern and starboard (right) side in view and with what is visible of the ship, filling a little less than a quarter of the width of the photo. Aft of the ship is a long and narrow gap in the fog marking the vessel's passage. Either side of the photo's centre and about one km ahead of the ship are the tops of two towers of a large suspension bridge with only the upper ten metres and some of the suspender cables in view. Above is a nearly clear sky, rendered dark grey with a gossamer thin, wisp of high cirrus clouds, mainly in the upper left side of the image.

A Fire Rainbow over West Virginia
* Image Credit & Copyright: Christa Harbig

Explanation:
What's happening to this cloud? Ice crystals in a distant cirrus cloud are acting like little floating prisms. Known informally as a fire rainbow for its flame-like appearance, a circumhorizon arc appears parallel to the horizon. For a circumhorizontal arc to be visible, the Sun must be at least 58 degrees high in a sky where cirrus clouds present below -- in this case cirrus fibratus. The numerous, flat, hexagonal ice-crystals that compose the cirrus cloud must be aligned horizontally to properly refract sunlight in a collectively similar manner. Therefore, circumhorizontal arcs are somewhat unusual to see. The featured fire rainbow was photographed in 2021 near North Fork Mountain in West Virginia, USA.

I am sick of the #australian media playing #elnino down.

#Media around the world is reporting how bad it's going to be, and as it's record breaking it will most likely result in severe #weather disruption and perhaps even a #drought

But our media plays it down, it "might be a problem but we don't know".

If this was a low level event maybe. This won't miss us. #Physics #climatology

We're going to get slammed, but they know it will evoke talks of #climatechange and they don't want to hear it

Good morning tooters. It’s was a very cold frosty 🥶 morning today at -2c with a feels like of -4c & it certainly did feel that cold. Small black 🐀 💼 came & jumped on my bed during the night & curled into my back. Pretty good hot water bottle too. Larger 🐀 💼 stayed curled up in a corner of the lounge. As I’d been told to do when it’s really cold by the homeowner, I left the ducted heating on 16c all night just ticking over, so didn’t feel too cold when I got up at around 5.30am.
Just hanging around Chiltern today, might go & have a coffee out & a nice walk, but that’s it. My NZ friend heads down to Melbourne & the airport on the morning train tomorrow & I go home Sunday morning 😊.
I’ve been having some big thinks this morning - dangerous I know! I’ve been planning on a new ceiling fan in my bedroom for this coming summer as the old one doesn’t work very well anymore. Instead I’m going to call the local heating/cooling people to come out & give me a quote for a small split system for in there & to check out whether or not my old split system in the lounge needs upgrading or not. I want some information & things in place before the coming summer season hits.
Hope everyone has a fabulous #Friday stay nice & warm out there 🌻. #Weather #HouseSit #PetSit #Thinking #Planning

Happy #ThrowBackThursday !

My images & poem "Monsoon". Three photos with poetry describing the seasonal summer Monsoon here in #Tucson Arizona USA. Here are the words to my poem named Monsoon. "Blinding sunshine. Billowing clouds. A flash in the distance. Silence. Another flash. Another & another light the sky, Like giant torches flickering in the night. A hush over the land Changes to a whisper Blowing in the breeze, growing & Graduating into wind. The wind swirls the trees & dust. Flashes grow brighter. The rumbles swallow the land. Portending the coming attraction." ©2000 Carl R. Englander

Weather forecast for today is completely insane.

It's now 23° in the morning.
It's expected to reach 36° in 6 hours.
Then down to 22° 8 hours later (storm coming in).
And then 17° tomorrow morning.

I don't live in a desert. I live on the coast in Northern Europe. +13° rise in 6 hours followed by -19° drop in 12 hours is like nothing I ever heard of.

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”.

Hourly Forecast - Edmonton [orange banner] ORANGE WATCH - SEVERE THUNDERSTORM 12:46 PM MDT Tuesday 28 July 2026 Impact Level: High Forecast Confidence: High Severe thunderstorms are possible in the Edmonton area late this afternoon and this evening. The main hazard is torrential rain on top of already saturated ground, though any severe storm will carry the risk of large hail and damaging winds. Travel delays and/or cancellations are possible. Driving conditions may be difficult. Utility outages are possible. Be prepared for severe weather. If threatening weather approaches, take cover in a basement or interior room. If outside, protect yourself from flying debris and hail. When thunder roars, go indoors! Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year. Don't drive through flooded roadways. Heavy rain can cause flash flooding and significant reductions to visibility. Strong wind gusts can damage trees, buildings and overturn vehicles. Large hail can cause significant damage and injury. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ABstorm@ec.qc.ca, call 1-800-239-0484 or post reports on social media using #ABStorm. In effect for: + City of Edmonton - St. Albert - Sherwood Park
