Another lightning bolt, this one from a storm last night.

I’ve gotten lucky catching these lately. these lately. I’m trying to be smart about not standing outside in the lightning and getting inside when it gets closer.

June 16, 2026. Wolverine Lake, Michigan.

*At least, smarter than last week when I found myself out on the lake in my little metal paddleboat taking lightning pictures. That was not smart.

One of the main skills of a landscape photographer is being there at the right time.

That usually means checking multiple weather apps, trying not to miss fog, rain clearing, clouds, tides, moonrise, etc. It is tiring, and it is easy to forget or miss the window.

That's why I built PhotoSignal - a web app for photography weather alerts.

Basic account is free.

I’ve just launched it, so I’d appreciate any feedback.

Delhi's temperature showed 43.5C. Why did it feel hotter? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62173jqd4wo?at_medium=RSS/Mastodon

I've been using weather.com for years for weather/forecast info but switched to AccuWeather about six months ago, partly because #Firefox was shoving it in my face on every new tab and partly because the former site was bombarding me with ads and sluggish web performance.

Recently, I've started using the National Weather Service, weather.gov. The wealth of information they provide upfront is great, too.

While there is some variation between all three sources, Accuweather.com has been, interestingly, the least accurate.

I was under the impression these 3rd party sites source their data from the NWS. But I guess this isn't the case?! 🤔

It was 10°F cooler when I fell asleep two hours ago. I'm so glad I had the presence of mind to shut all the windows and the west side sunshades before I fell asleep. It's warm but comfortable in the house; I don't think the AC went on while I was sleeping. Tomorrow is going to be brutal. #wx #weather

There are two rather small towns called #Wetter in Germany. This, and the fact that every german speaking person might include this hashtag when complaining about the fucking #weather (which is kind of a tradition here), makes one of them into a top German fediverse location. 😂 #spaßmitsprache #german

Since the abomination on the South Lawn is taller than the White House, it should attract the lightning predicted for tomorrow nicely.

This fucking weather is going to be the death of me. It's genuinely five seasons every five minutes #irleand #weather

Good morning!

I have one weather forecast telling me rain is coming. Not sure what I can hear pelting down outside?

I have another forecast telling me that we're having a rain shower. I wonder how long showers have to last before they are considered persistent rain?

The lies/spin/falsehoods of weather forecasting. I am getting more and more convinced that politicians are just failed weather forecasters.

I recorded a dust devil earlier today on my new #weather station here in Hermiston, Oregon! It wasn't much but it was neat that I could capture the air pressure drop.

A chart showing wind gusts and sea level pressure once a minute from 13:10 to 13:20 PT Thursday. Wind gusts peaked at 23 km/h when air pressure dropped by 0.2 mb.

My latest thing is watching #weather radar. It started the other night because I needed an extremely neutral thing to listen to and that ended up being storm coverage in a different state. Then I got itchy to do my own map zooming and panning so here we are.

Currently sitting here with a tornado warning going on and the rain beating against the house, feeling very happy that I put my potted plants in the garage this evening.

Stay safe all!

Rats! Happened to be outside and glanced up at the wind charger tower, to see the anemometer wasn't turning. It's several years old now, and lives in quite harsh conditions.
I climbed the pole and got it down. There's not much you can really do with these things without breaking seals, but a clean with WD40 equivalent seemed to make it happier. The entire unit at the end of its post was shoogly, so that's tightened now too, and probably where corrosion has got in. I'll need a new one
