      Sea Fog

      (Details in the AltText) (A Repeat?)

      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.

                    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 stay nice & warm out there 🌻.

"Blinding sunshine. Billowing clouds. A flash in the distance. Silence. Another flash. Another & another light the sky,

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."

                        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”.

                                      The special 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.

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.

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

                                            It feels like 124°F/51°C at the theater. We can cook eggs on the asphalt soon.

                                              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.
