Transcriber Weather

This is neat. I was up early this morning and was surprised how much shorter the days are getting. We have such short dawn and dusk. I miss those hours from when I lived further north. Have a good day, all.

[Michael]

A few more days and then your hours of daylight will be longer than ours...

[Randi]

Today was cold enough that the heating came on this evening

100 per cent just means that's the optimal level and anything above that is extra water that possibly could be released.

[Michael]

I guess that means you can have a cup of tea without having to worry about running out of water...

[pommystuart]

I have been told there is now enough water for a shower. Thems fighting words to an English man.

Our reservoirs are at 69% of where they should be. We are creeping up on the wet season, so there is hope.
A nice warm bath sounds good tome

National Weather Service — Pittsburgh Records Climate Data

[Randi]

Raining here and supposed to rain all day.
This is our fallout from hurricane Ian.
Not much wind.

[Michael]

This September was the warmest and driest on record. I am comparing the data collected from our weather station with from Environment Canada's weather station at the University of Victoria. The data from that station goes back to 1993.

[Michael]

So far today, we've recorded 23.7 C. That's a full seven degrees above the normal high for the first of October, and 2.9C above the previous record maximum temperature for the day. It also breaks the highest max temperature for the month of October; the previous record being 23.1 set in 2020.

[Randi]

It got down to 5 C this morning!

The average low is 9 C
The record low is -2 C

[Michael]

We set a new record for the highest October maximum temperature here yesterday: 25.1.
That beat the previous record of 23.7 set on the 1^st.

[Morgan]

Starting our historic "Dry" month. Don't expect anything. We're hoping after that.

We've had multiple days of frigid wetness here in Northern Virginia, but it's supposed to be back in the 70s (Fahrenheit) by Thursday. Today I've got my little space heater going under my desk because we're not ready to kick on the furnace yet.

[Randi]

Spent 3 days on Santa Catalina Is, just off the coast of Long Beach CA. The water was VERY calm on the trip over and back on a large catamaran. Weather there is very predictable. Late afternoon clouds show up in a bank of overcast and leave again about 10:45 the next morning. So much for seeing stars, a warm pleasant days. It is a favorite port for cruise ships coming from Vancouver or leaving from Long Beach/ Los Angeles.
