WHAT'S THE WEATHER IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD?

No such luck DENNIS....today is supposed to be the hottest. Yesterday, when the Santa Ana's started to blow, I looked across the bay from Ensenada and could see the dust being blown almost totally obscure your location from where I was.

In the evening, when the winds shifted and started blowing in from the sea it was still very hot. I guess all the warm air blown out during the day was being blown back in.


Sol was wondering when sharkeys will finally break down and install A/C.

Congratulations.

gotta be some happy firefighters!

this is how I've spent the last few days...the water temps are now over 70 so it's perfect for boogie boarding and swimming...usually impossible this time of year.



we are experiencing September weather in May! It has been in the high 80's all week with only a breeze to keep us from sweltering in San Roque. I'm likin this!

Carbon Dioxide Levels Topped 400 PPM Throughout Northern Hemisphere In April, WMO Says

Carbon Dioxide Levels Topped 400 PPM Throughout Northern Hemisphere In April, WMO Says

GENEVA, May 26 (Reuters) - Carbon dioxide levels throughout the northern hemisphere hit 400 parts per million (ppm) for the first time in human history in April, an ominous threshold for climate change, the World Meteorological Organization said on Monday.

The 400 ppm level in the atmosphere, up 40 percent since wide use of fossil fuels began with the Industrial Revolution, is rapidly spreading southwards. First recorded in 2012 in the Arctic, it has since become the norm for the Arctic spring.

The WMO expects the global annual average carbon dioxide concentration to be above 400 ppm in 2015 or 2016. Rising concentrations of the heat-trapping gas raise risks of more heatwaves, droughts and rising sea levels.

"Time is running out," WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud said in a statement.

"This should serve as yet another wake-up call about the constantly rising levels of greenhouse gases which are driving climate change. If we are to preserve our planet for future generations, we need urgent action to curb new emissions of these heat-trapping gases."

Almost 200 governments have agreed to work out a deal by the end of 2015 to slow climate change as part of efforts to limit the average temperature increase to two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times.

Temperatures have already risen about 0.8C (1.4F).

In April, the U.N.'s panel of climate experts said that greenhouse gas concentrations, led by carbon dioxide, would have to be kept below 450 ppm to give a good chance of achieving the 2C goal.

The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is seasonal, since plants absorb more in the summer months, causing a peak in the spring. The northern hemisphere, with more human-related sources of the gas, has a more pronounced seasonal cycle.

Carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere for hundreds of years. It is emitted by fossil-fueled vehicles and coal-fired factories and power plants as well as by natural activities such as breathing.

During the last 800,000 years, the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide fluctuated between 180 ppm and 280 ppm, and has probably not been above 400 ppm for millions of years, scientists say.

With the widespread burning of coal and oil during the Industrial Revolution, the concentration of carbon dioxide rose to about 290 ppm by the end of the 19th century.

That accelerated last century, with levels between 370 and 380 ppm by the year 2000.

Not just us humans

High clouds the last few days with the temperature guage stuck at 80, day and nite! Light breezes and very comfortable. No rain even tho out on the ocean it is dark. T shirts, swim trunks, flip flops and Pacificos! Tio

Wonderful May grey weather in coastal San Diego county. Temperature = comfortable inside and outside the house. I don't like it hot, but some do.

72°, calm, clear, barometer at 29.90 rising, humidity at 96%

Had to search for this post, Dennis. Warm nights and hot days down south. Todos Santos is known for being the coolest weather this far south because of the sea breezes that usually prevail into August! This year is hotter than last but thankfully we still have our westerlies off the Pacific Ocean. Water temps are creeping higher, 76ish? and now we're looking at a new Storm heading north. Douglas, or Dennis? Hang in there with us. Tio

5 inches of rain in 3 hrs. TS Elida is holding some H2o

We had a pretty good wind event last night where the patio furniture got to flying around around 11 pm. The settled down to 20mph for the rest of the night. Around 10 am the wind died this morning and at 12 it started to pick up again. Now we're getting gusts to 20 mph and seems to be building again.
89º ~ 62% baro steady 29.79. My internet connection with HughesNet won't let photobucket load the weather station image

HOT!!!!!!!!

93°in the shade, partially cloudy, calm, 51% humidity, barometer 30.00 falling, high tide. Have a happy 4th of July.

04 Jul 3:13 pm MST 6500' 68 f 54 dew point 61 rel hum light rain

Started out with a high of 79 f at 1100 till the thunderstorms began a rapid decrease in temp. Freezing in the winter but when the Monsoon starts lovely cool moist mountain afternoons. Hang in there southern ones

Monsoon finally arrived in Az. Got hit hard with a dust storm and a little rain. Rare gentle rain with no wind falling this morning.

Weather related but not to the thread title....
I have read Weather for Dummies and lotsa stuff on-line but cannot find an answer to this question...I am sure someone here will have one or two for me.
Here in BCS we started our Mid august weather in early July, so, as others have said, we are about six weeks early into the 'season'.
My question is, does this mean that we may be out of it six weeks early or is it just lengthier than previous years? I now, weather forecasting is hit or miss but it is a constant topic for the next couple of months and I had this question.
AND, to fit into the thread, the weather in my 'hood is a lot cooler and dryer than the last few days. Not barely Sunday brunch time and the breezes are already starting to pick up. This oughta dry/cool things down even more. Really a beautiful day at the moment.

Rain, glorious rain here in the mountains

Yup......

Southern New Mexico; 98 degrees, 13% humidity. I just watched a fire hydrant chasing a dawg !!
