Heat

[pgardn]

??? There is no rain in San Antonio right now. South and west of town there are some storms but they're all traveling NW anyways.

We need rain in the worst way. Native Trees my father has never seen in trouble are dying.
If we get another cold winter coupled with two years of super excessive heat there is going to be unprecedented die off in San Antonio.
This is fkn ridiculous. His 30 year old tangerine trees (non native) are done as well. Dead. Austin meanwhile is getting much more precipitation. Luckily there has been rain over the important acquirer areas so we have avoided really drastic measures. That along with conservation. The city has got to keep up with all the old leaking water lines though. They are cracking underground due to excessive heat and little ground moisture. City is gonna have problems keeping up with repairs as these changes to climate continue to persist.

We got one day with a couple of inches, just enough for a quick greenup that's about it.

So it's 97 today and extremely humid. If we don't good rain out of this front tonight I don't know when the we ever will.

My yard hasn't even gone to dirt, it's gone to dust in areas that aren't well shaded after two years of exceptional drought.

So 2023 is sort of a preview of what things will be like mid-century. The anomalies are crazy. September globally was 1.8 C hotter than the pre-industrial average.

The climate scientists I read stated that this is a combination of a strong El Niño and the massive amount of water vapor flung into the atmosphere by the Tonga underwater volcano. It’s superimposed upon climate change, but even so 2023 is anomalous and that’s why.

Or, they’re wrong, we’ve hit a tipping point, runaway climate change is in progress at 0.5 C per year, and human beings along with most other life on earth will be extinct by 2050.

Wtf happened to the cool front

We were lied to just like in 2020.

??? It's like 85 at nearly 5PM. The second cold front that drops our highs into the 70s for a couple of days doesn't come until tonight.

I got some friends who live off Shwarengen sp? close to the soccer stadium and that neighborhood looks like a tropical rainforest compared to my NW SA neighborhood.
They have definitely got more rain than we have over the summer. They did whiff on the rain that we got most recently.

This neighborhood is full of young couples with heavy stroller traffic.
The Park at Walnut Creek.
