Good morning tooters. Around 9c when I woke up this morning & it will be the same daily temp of 16c as it’s been for the last two days. Still very grey & overcast with more rain to come this afternoon. I was very glad when that storm finished late last night & I was able to have a last check of the back yard to reassure myself all was good & no water came in under the back garage door. I don’t even think the rain was as fierce nor as fast as those other rain events I’ve had. It did mean I was able to get to go to bed & sleep unstressed. It always feels worse when it’s dark.
I had a lovely few hours out in Albury yesterday with my friend, we had coffee at the Myer centre & then went for a wander, window & op shopping. I didn’t buy anything at all except except the coffee. It was just so good to be outside doing something & the rain held off until we got home. I also dropped off half a dozen books to a street library & took 2 out for myself. I love street libraries. The pictures were taken down a laneway towards the Myer complex.
I have to pack to head to Chiltern this morning but don’t plan to get there until around lunchtime. It’s just for 4 nights & I will take a couple of my frozen meals & soup with me. That way I don’t need to do much cooking.
Wishing you all a lovely #Thursday, stay warm & dry & I do hope for some sun 🌞 for us all today 🌻. #Weather #DayOut #StreetLibrary #HouseSit #PetSit
#Weather NOAA Weather Radio serving Norfolk Virginia during their heat advisory says the following, "stay out of the Sunday " or perhaps it is "stay out of the sundae (particularly, hot fudge).
Forecast heat index today 107°F. I was out at 0800 watering plants and came in dripping with sweat after a half hour. I put several inches of straw on the raised bed garden yesterday evening once I could go outside, because the heat is killing my zucchini. #weather #gardening

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 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.

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.
