Move to Texas where it is a balmy 96F and about 50%Rh. Of course we had
a bit of warm weather a few days ago with 102F. But the humidity was
down to 35%. Or maybe move to Las Vegas where it is 104F and 11%.

What is the humidity there?

Yeah I find the humidity/ dew point is much more important for my comfort.

Depends on where you are, and your eyesight.

Last night at sea level there was bit of haze and
lights from the other side of the estuary. It was
just a naked eye object, if you knew where to look.
It was much better in 7x50 binoculars.

I also suspect my eyes aren\'t as good as they were
in the dark when I was younger.

Last week I actually captured it, just, with my
Canon PowerShot camera, in the same frame as my
first sighting of noctilucent clouds.

It\'s mid-summer but the rains have generally kept it down to the
mid- and high twenties Celcius here during the day. It\'s past
midnight now and my Casio table clock is showing 22°C. I\'ve
misplaced my best thermometer so I can\'t be sure if that\'s accurate.

Yeah naked eye here. ~ as bright as one of the big dipper stars,
but closer to the horizon so a bit lost in the haze.

Is the Pacific warming?

My batshit crazy theory is that climate change is improving the climate here in southern Idaho. We have been having milder weather (not as cold in the winter, not as hot in the summer) which is nice because it gets so extreme here. It is also much more wet than usual, which is a very good thing (they had been constantly complaining about drought for decades).

We just had our wettest June ever on record. I have literally never seen the hills so alive with vegetation and wildlife here this late into the season. We are normally dried out and fighting wildfires by now.

We are putting water back into the aquifer for the first time.

This has been going on for the last few years. It can keep up as far as I am concerned. The farmers are very happy.

It\'s still weather - just marginally warmer than it used to be.

Newspaper reporters are picking up on some of the new scientific insights that climate scientists are coming up with. If John Larkin read proper science reporting - New Scientist comes to mind - he might have a better idea of what it all meant. John seems to get most of his insights from climate change denial propaganda - the Murdoch press prints a lot of it. It is free, and quite a lot of it seems to be paid for by people who are still buying advertising space in Murdoch media.

If some of it is falling in Idaho you will be happier, while it keeps falling.

Climate change is what\'s going on - anthropogenic global warming means that the earth\'s surface - as a whole has a higher average temperature, but weather patterns may not be the same on a warmer world, and they are going to keep on changing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_humid_period

The Sahara was wetter from about 14,500 BP to about 5500 BP. This seems to have been caused a stronger West African Monsoon, but modelling that kind of eefect is difficult.

Hey SL0W MAN,

Because a continent usually DOES have some vulcanism, and Antarctica
is no exception.

It always had volcanos. They aren\'t especially active nor important.

My AC is a bit wonky at the moment. It is intermittent. I turned it on last night before bed to see if it was working (beastly hot still at 1AM) and forgot it. Woke up this morning with the window fan blowing only to find the bathroom unusually cold. The AC was working!!! I turned it off.

Partly I am doing this to help lose weight. I have less appetite in the heat, but also tend to drink some beer now and then (empty calories). Working ok so far, but it\'s still an effort. Some 15 years ago I lost 30+ lbs by having a good dining routine and sticking to it. Now I find that much harder to do. So the heat is on!

The AC last night helped by drying out the house a bit and just cooling it down. The problem is when the day is hot, but also the night. If you can\'t get the house cool at night it becomes unbearable during the day.

Phhht, that ain\'t hot. Yesterday it was around 100F and I rode 47mi on
my road bike, full bore much of the time. Still only used one sweat
band. I carry two and switch them if it gets above 105F.

I\'ve tried. I worked in Arizona for a while. When I moved there at the
beginning of summer, the AC in the apartment was broken for the first week.

The usual comment of an Arizona resident would be \"But it\'s a dry heat!\"

I\'ve spent a lot of summer time in AZ. My heat tolerance was never a
problem and when it\'s 110F the number of other hikers in the
Superstition Mountains drops to almost zero. The cardinal mistake of
most less experienced outdoors people is to not carry enough water.
Another mistake is to not start drinking until thirst sets in and that
is usually too late. There are mountain bike rides where I carry a whole
gallon or more.
