I dont know death valley but I figured those numbers would be lower…I’ll still take those numbers though
41% humidity is also low.
Yup. Right now its nice. Ask again next week. Ill admit we are nothing compared to the SE, doesn’t mean I cant like the numbers from the western states more than here
Just a jab @Karacal in Vegas, since its next door to “Death Valley national park “
only been that area once. Was sent to 29 palms while in the military for 5 weeks. Flew my wife down from AK for a weekend in Vegas. Going from AK to Palm Springs in February is a real eye opener I must say
Couple days ago, Mon-Tue were projected to have 100-deg. Wed just got added.
Time to start hearing the seasonal question: “Did you ride today?” ![]()
Keep your humidity on your side of the fence!
Humidity bothers me now. Growing up in MI..Humidity. station at camp Lejeune..Humidity.
Gitmo and Okinawa would get hot bit with the breeze coming in, it was tolerable.
AK generally had low Humidity, hell it would hit 80 a very few times and they issue a heat warning.
I think I froze the part of my body that deals with Humidity. Last 13 years in MI is killing me.
When I retire wife wants to move to TN, KY area, im thinking more idaho…
Montana, northern Wyoming,….
I want to die instantly when Yellowstone goes off again!
Plus, I’ve heard the mosquitos are horrible in Alaska, so screw that.
Come on, dont talk down AK’s state bird. Mosquitoes aren’t as bad as the no see em gnats. Those things suck
Might have an easy week next week at work. Work place sucks, no AC and the place retains heat.
Mid 90’s with humidity at 59% or less and due point mid 50’s to mid 60’s. It may be tolerable
There must be a lot of cows with gastrointestinal issues, along with a lot of people driving to work in Salt Lake City. ![]()
People must be dropping dead in the streets! You must shelter in place, for your own safety!
Just a theory, there are a lot of fires south of here, they heat the air and produce a lot of hot smoke. So I’d say it’s not actually global warming, it’s a natural camp fire… ![]()
How about we all sit next to the campfire so we can cool off?![]()
I blame the fact that the sun is slowly dying…..
AI overview:
The Sun is currently expanding very slowly, increasing its radius by about 10% every billion years. However, in approximately 5 billion years, when it runs out of core hydrogen, it will rapidly expand into a Red Giant, swelling to over 100 times its present diameter. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Current Expansion Rate
- Radius Change: The Sun’s radius increases by roughly 1 centimeter every year.
- Historical Growth: Since its formation 4.5 billion years ago, it has only grown about 20% larger.
Of course it could be continental drift, you know that whole plate tectonics thing that is literally reshaping mountain ranges? Continents move, wind and ocean currents change,… climate gets weird…. Take for instance just California and the San Andreas fault;
AI overview:
The San Andreas Fault shifts at an average rate of about 1.5 to 2 inches (45 to 50 millimeters) per year. Over the past 1,000 years, this steady tectonic grind has moved parts of California northwest by roughly 140 to 160 feet (about half a football field). [1, 2]
Since it formed roughly 28 to 30 million years ago, the fault has horizontally slipped a massive 186 to 220 miles (300 to 350 km).
Making me want a nice smoked Scotch - that is what the Scots call what we call a peated Scotch. A peated Scotch is actually one that has hay and other vegetal notes from the water used in making Scotch passing through a peat bog. The barley used in making Scotch that has been smoked with wet peat is called smoked.
Time for me to get a nice Scotch. Spent too much time writing about it. ![]()
Hard liquor doesn’t agree with me anymore,…. But now I’d like a nice scotch too! ![]()
