        Updated 11:03 am EDT Jul. 8, 2026 : A major update to an influential hurricane forecast says the 2026 hurricane season could be among the calmest in recent memory, thanks to the influence of a powerful El Niño.
        Meteorologists from Colorado State University on July 8 said they now expect four fewer storms than initially forecast in the April Atlantic hurricane season outlook. “ usatoday.com/story/news/weathe

              Yesterday I finished the book Wilder Weather, which was a pleasant weave of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s narrative descriptions of the world around her with the and of the Great Plains in her day.

              The overarching theme is one of the importance of narrative telling and also the changes that have occurred over the past 170 years or so due to .

              I also enjoyed the connection to my family history. I am descended from her grandparents. My line homesteaded Montana and later Oregon.

                Summer Storm

                (Description In AltText)

                This is a high contrast black and white photo in landscape format of three raised gantry cranes in the foreground with large and developing storm clouds in the background. Long Beach, California (2015).

In the foreground are the three brilliant white giant gantry cranes (large cranes on the dockside used to load and unload shipping containers on and off container ships). One crane is in the lower left corner, its raised boom nearly reaching the top of the photo. The next crane is slightly to the left of centre, again, it's boom nearly touching the top of the image. The third crane is slightly to the right of centre and is either smaller or further away from the camera, the boom only rising to a little over the half way up level in the photo. Each crane sits on four legs extending upwards ten or more metres before there is a hinged boom that can be raised to allow a container ship to dock or lowered parallel to the ground enabling the shipping containers to be raised from the dockside, moved sideways over the ship and lowered onto or below the deck. In this photo the booms are raised upwards at an angle of about sixty degrees by means of cables fixed to the end of the booms, then to a stout 'A' frame like structure on top of the crane and then down to winches located in a large light grey corrugated enclosure stretching across under the 'A' frame. In the distance, perhaps thirty km away is a line of large developing cumulonimbus clouds. Larger on the left side and sloping downwards towards the right. The clouds are mostly a bright white with only a few grey areas adding to the contrast in the image. The clouds extend upwards from the base of the photo to just below the top. The cloud tops are, at a guess, around seven to ten thousand metres above the ground. The larger cloud on the left has the look of a giant cauliflower. Above is a clear and cloudless sky rendered jet black. 

The storms are viewed from the Port Of Long Beach looking east towards the San Gabriel mountains, which the storms are building up against.

                            The source of my misery. It actually isn't the worst with the ceiling fans, but after going in the basement where it's cool, it feels like the temp jumped 10°F. It's 85°F in the house.

                            I only use ac a couple weeks a year, but I like it for those couple weeks. I'll go to the store tomorrow for a new capacitor, and hopefully that fixes it.

                                Anyone have recommendations for a home weather station that doesn't send your data out?
                                Indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity are preferred. If it has a air pollution sensor that would also be nice.
                                Yes I am looking at analog, but I'm curious what digital options exist.
                                It would be interesting to have some kind of weather station for wind/rain type stuff, but all the ones I see report to Amazon/Google
