WTF is with this bleeping weather?

[Angel Oracle]

That is very telling.    This El Nino took it's own sweet time to form, and like with pressures building without earthquakes releasing them, that could be a dangerous thing.

 

We need rain.   But even I shudder to think of what could happen if we get more rain than even from the 1997-98 El Nino.

i'd like our reservoirs to be filled again. bring it on.

AO in November

SoCal drivers + biggest El Niño in quite sometime

I like the rain. But I shudder at putting those two together.

[Blarg]

You shudder a lot.

Not to mention that burned-out bare slopes + lots of rain = lots of mudslides.

 

It's a weird thing...that neighborhood in Moreno Valley that we saw national reporters covering the recent "deluge" from is my old hood.

Just got back from Maui.

Weather was insane - absolutely perfect.

I find it interesting that people are surprised that weather changes

I am sure it is Scioscia's fault

Gonna be a fun weekend. High temps away from the coast (98 to 105) and high humidity, excessive heat warnings, showers and thunderstorms.

 

Starts Thursday. Can't wait.

[Angel Oracle]

El Niño is arriving.

[fan_since79]

I love how the forecasts say 88 for Thursday when it will probably be more like 100.

97 yesterday in Denver

 

Today, a nice cool breeze and an absolutely perfect 82.

[nate]

There are no scenarios where 82 is perfect.

 

We are currently on the hottest streak in WI since the last time the west coast had a bad El Nino in 97.  Have been in the 80s for two weeks.  I can't wait for winter.

The scenario where it's 82 and there is a cool breeze when yesterday it was stifling hot is pretty perfect.

 

Personally, I prefer the 70s, but 82 is close enough.

 

Not looking forward to winter.

[nate]

I prefer mid 60s.  I can tolerate to about 75.  After that is just living on the surface of the sun.

I was rolling through Custer, SD yesterday on my way to Montana after seeing Mt. Rushmore. A severe, and I mean ****ing severe thunderstorm came in and started pelting me with two inch sized hail stones. I got off the road and found partial shelter Ina. Gas station overhang with about 10 other cars. Everyone was freaked out, I was sure my beautiful Touareg was ruined, but after it dropped about 2 feet of hail wherein was at in 30 minutes, it cleared, I drove off and the Touareg was fine. I was sure the windshield or moonroof was gonna crack. Nope.

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!!

The Southland will be baking this weekend. In fact, most of the country will be sizzling hot.

 

At least here the humidity is expected to be low.

[gotbeer]

[Redondo]

Could get to 120 here on Sunday. That's hot even for here.

[nate]

Thanks to your el nino we are suffering through one of the hottest summers in history.

 

We have had 30 days above 80 which is more than the last three summers combined.
