Had more clouds today but still perfect temps, around 29C with some humidity. Somehow my 7-day has rain amounts every day - likely just 3 or 4 will have some measurable precip. I was shocked to see chance of t-storms both sat and sun, first in 2.5 months. My butt-cheeks are not clenched.

I've been learning the terminal (command line interface) so one of the uses is getting my current wx info and forecast from there, the options haven't been great like wttr.in gives me wrong info every time and there is lack of documentation on altering the config file if there is one. Ideally I'd like to get most of my basic info from a terminal emulator such as history from any city, parsing ranges from my excel databases from my station, metars, etc. I'm using both Debian and Arch based OSs.
-
This is absolutely perfect wx, one of those rare days for me!! Its just the right temp, good breeze with just a touch of humidity. Best time of the year with the date. Huge boost of energy.
-
Its been a bad week, hated that dark overcast and cold shart for 3 days. Its been the most boring 6 months, somehow every year it gets even moreso! I haven't heard thunder since Apr 5 and just 1 heat wave so far. No storms in my 7 day.
-
My hourlies removed the sprinkles or showers here for today and on radar it looks like any precip is just fizzling out before it gets this south. I see dark skies at times to the west but somehow it breaks apart. I haven't seen any precip at all in about 3 weeks straight.
-
I've had to have the heat on during the past few days. I've had smoke advisory for 3 days in a row: longest I can remember. Even though the label for my hourlies were showing smoke most of yesterday there wasn't for half the day. Showing 40% pops for sprinkles mid-afternoon. Needed all this sun we've been having!!
-
For some reason my highs starting today til Thurs show me reaching 90F, I'd be delighted but I don't buy it. Whatever it takes to cease the need for me to put on sweaters and slippers at night. As soon as I started hitting 30C/86F I started feeling upbeat. There were a few minor clouds yesterday afternoon but today back to blue skies. 7 days now in a row mostly sunny.
-
Can't say enough good things about this wx, its now perfect and its been 5 days of blue skies without smoke finally. Hasn't been good since early last Sept in terms of longevity as the mid April warmth had a solid but shorter streak. I had a 6 day streak in June 2020.
-
No smoke and saw blue skies finally for the first time in a while, a breath of fresh air literally. I got over 100K lux for the first time since May 11. I didn't get a drop of rain as it fizzled to my north so weeks on end of dryness .
-
The last rumble and storm were Apr 5 here, I'll probably not hear any til Sept. 10,300 strikes in one month is incredible, I only get around 2000 a year on my station and its radius is 40 km!
-
Imagine after May 24 2011 telling someone there won't be a classic plains outbreak in May through at least 2023? I consider the May 27 Memorial Day tornado outbreak of 2019 to be atypical. I had to go check myself, I can't believe it either! Someone made a shower curtain with that pic.
-
Getting pissed off with every cloudless day being smoked out where the sky is always this milky hue blotting out the sun! . As soon as the nightmare Apr is over now this shit. I do actually feel the dampening effects as my best day was the one where the smoke was absent. My station is showing a nearly 25% reduction in lux compared to a normal sunny day so when I should be hitting 100K lux mid-day I'm not even getting over 88K and typically like today its sitting at 75K avg. The longevity of this smoke is unprecedented here as I've never seen it all May like this. May 2012 only had a few days not weeks.
-
At least the dense smoke cleared here but its windy and cold at 13C nearly. The heat is already coming on and its only 5:30pm.
-
The smoke is so dense this morning that I woke up to what appeared to be overcast when it was forecast to be clear . Its still showing clear/few clouds when its anything but. Getting tired of this.
-
^ That was gold, both the intercept and the horking at the end after their screaming!
-
Jelly, I'm just on the verge of some mod - heavy rains...again 3 out of the last 17 days have been partly sunny, that's okay. Nothing wrong with that at all.
-
I've been thinking recently I'd rather 100F highs than 34F highs every day like many days this winter featured. I've been in different hot climates that had humidity or dry heat around 100 and this is what I'd rather knowing the lifestyle. Not working in it though unless dawn/dusk.

I'm glad I haven't been visiting that site in a while

Severe Weather 4-25 through 4-28-23
Torchageddon replied to cheese007's topic in Central/Western States
This isn't for the 25th but this outlook is strange for today: Brownsville special. -
At various points heavy snow/rain showers with one in particular looking like a winter storm with the winds gusting. With a week like last you know something nasty is coming after. The storms I got yesterday (5th so far this year) were tame with 8 flashes of lightning, 13mm of rain which is about what TWN forecast. I've read somewhere else that Canadians tend to trust their precip amounts but not their temp forecasts. I tend to agree.
-
Station reached 30C, but likely due to the dry surroundings its too warm so I think 28C. 2nd day of blue skies no clouds at all - I realized this is the same as two months ago exactly. Awesome week.
-
Weirdly enough my low was back down to 6C like Weds but made up for it around 10-11am by jumping to 25C on my station; TWN had a 6C disparity (19C). I'm running 2C too warm typically. I was under an poor air quality advisory briefly then like that svr t-storm warning 10 days ago it was yanked fast also around 10am.
-
A humidex of 34 for Brampton, insane.
-
Overnight low much warmer: 13.4C compared to 6C yesterday. I reached 20C/68F at 9:40am which is impressive. I don't remember the mid-Apr 2016 event morning warmth to be this amazing. 23.5C currently! 12pm: 26C! Lets get some Apr 1-2 2010 vibes going.
