We were thinking about keeping things fresh with a seasonal theme change for the site so I present to you...
The Weather Forums - Spring Edition!
At the start of each season we will change to a new color scheme that gives off the vibes of that season. So we will be sticking with this spring version until the end of June or so. Figure this will keep the website timely and also add a bit of fun to the kind of mundane blue/white/gray color scheme we usually go for.
Please let me kno
How can trees’ leaves be stunted by cold when regional temp anomalies are exactly average over the last month?
The maturation of young, newly-emerged leaves requires a lot of water. In fact, trees use up more water stores during the spring months than at any other time of year.
March to mid-April was warmer than average but very dry here, and it definitely stunted the leaf-out relative to some cooler/wetter springs.
Now that you mentioned it, I remember my Davis station also did that, but it was the battery capacitor not holding any charge anymore if I remember correctly, so I had to replace the whole ISS, or temp/hum. part of the station. Otherwise I had no issues except with the anemometer once in a while, which is to be expected since that thing is constantly going. My first Davis anemometer never quit going (10 plus years) but I could tell it didn't run as smooth anymore, and I retired it since it wasn't wireless. The wireless anemometer I now have is mounted 34'+ up on a windmill. Anemometers from cheaper stations never seem the last long at all.
Did your anemometer never cause any problems on your ambient?
I actually did end up getting only 0.10" more rain last evening, bringing my April total to 5.60". The storms rapidly weakened as expected, but didn't dive se. Had one tremendous clap of thunder kind of out of the blue.
An illegal killed a college or highschool gal in the next county here a few years ago. It made national news then, but I can't remember her name though I saw an article about it again recently. That's pretty close for rural areas like here. They soon caught the guy.
