May is going out as April-like, 49 here this morning with light rain overnight; likely stuck in the 50's all day; May 30. Forecast calls for sun's return and warmer tomorrow, back into the 80's as June rolls in Tuesday. The bonus with the cool down; rain, almost an inch and a half of much, much needed rain. Our drought averted, for now.
Freezes in the upper mid-west make our 50's seem warm. 24 in International Falls, Minn. Extremes will continue to roil averages and normals, worldwide. Global Warming is not coming, it's here!! Migrations are ongoing, all of us adapting...or... not willing to, death awaits.
Another low shake day, only a couple into the low magnitude 5's worldwide, some minor local issues (although they don't seem minor when the building you are in is shaking). One on China's Tibetan plateau the only on land 5+ shake.
Monster solar blast seems mostly headed away from Earth, but watchers staying aware of a possible glancing blow to our upper atmosphere. If tomorrow is clear, waning gibbous moon might be easiest to see in morning sky.
TrumpVirus deaths & cases has not been updated in a couple of days, still trending down and deaths ALL seem to be with the unvaccinated. Re-check, it has been updated, 338 dead yesterday, 11K new cases, officially 594,000 total (although in reality likely many more) over the last 15+ months. States beginning to run lotteries, for big cash, for people to get shots (and the demographic of lottery player is much of the same as the anti-vaxers). The country has pretty much opened up to non-mask any thing this weekend, my guess, another minor surge in a couple of weeks. This virus is far from going away. The "leader" that allowed the epidemic to surge across the country, still lies, about everything, his racist sycophants happily drooling their allegiance. A stroke for donny the douche our best hope, donny the drooler, that's what we need.
A long enough break in the rain that the slate out front has dried out, still cool out, 53, enjoy the brief respite from heat to come, Today On Earth.
Beneath the leaves, in the dark
Cool & damp, above, dry is stark
But, as soon as there is rain
Little newts can't restrain
Quickly into the world above
Orange rascals looking for love!
