    Wacky Weather creates history in United States

    Here in Rhode Island, history has been made by the weather today. We are currently setting the record high for this date at 87° (F), over 20° above average. The weather we are experiencing is average for JULY!

    The history making thing is that for the first time ever, Rhode Island is the hottest part of the country by over 10°, beating out Florida, Arizona, Texas, and even Hawaii!

    Our time on this planet is precious, and can be snuffed out at any moment. Every second of every day should mean something.

    Let's not get used to this warm weather just yet, Roquivo. A cool down at week's end.



    In the meantime, fire up those barbecues...

    That's not good, it brings my attention back to Global Warming, which despite what many say is a real phenomenon(sp?). When temperatures in the Eastern United States start beating temperatures around the equator, you have a problem...

    The temp plus 20 would be about 90, which is pretty much what it is right now at your place

    California's been getting some weird weather too. We had an extremely wet winter- we got more rain than Seattle Washington this past season, and that's saying something!:horror:
    But now things are pretty much back to normal, sunny skies, partly cloudy. Thermometer outside says 75*F, it's been nice all day Gotta love that California sun!

    When it rains here in tennessee, it rains, and rains, and rains, and keeps rainging. It seems to never want to stop.. O_O There was one day when it got really bad, thought it was going to flood because the water was above my ankles, it was like walking through a shallow river that day.

    let me reiterate(sp?) what Ravoc said, GLOBAL WARMING. caused by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

    I think that global warming is making a change on or environment, but the main reason for wacky weather still is in the weather cycles, not the global warming.

    The Earth is kept warm by its atmosphere, which acts rather like a woolly coat - without it, the average surface temperature would be about -18 degrees Centigrade. Heat from the sun passes through the atmosphere, warming it up, and most of it warms the surface of the planet. As the Earth warms up, it emits heat in the form of infra-red radiation - much like a hot pan emits heat even after it's taken away from the cooker.

    Some of this heat is trapped by the atmosphere, but the rest escapes into space. The so-called "greenhouse gases" make the atmosphere trap more of this radiation, so it gradually warms up more than it should, like a greenhouse (although a greenhouse actually does this by stopping warm air rising and escaping from it) .

    ATTN: West Coast...
    Short-term drought concerns have been alleviated in many areas of the Southwest especially southern California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. Preliminary data show the Southwest had its wettest September-February in 110 years of record keeping. Abundant snowpack in the upper Colorado River Basin is resulting in above-normal inflow to the region's reservoirs.

    However, with reservoir storages at 17 percent capacity in Nevada and 29 percent capacity in New Mexico, local water supply problems are still possible.

    Senior research engineer Tim Samaras and Brad Carter intercepted several tornados east of Dodge City, KS on May 7th, 2002. They successfully deployed probes in the path of the oncoming twister and made In-Situ measurements including barometric pressure, wind speed, direction, temperature, relative humidity, and obtained incredible video of this large tornado.
