Floradude Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 For one thing the storms in the eastern Pacific have not been coming our way. They form down south and then head more west out into the Pacific instead of coming up off our coast close enough that we are in their rain shadow.

Yep, climate changes every year for either better or worse. This year we are getting the worse, but it will change and then we will get the better. Just may have to wait a while.

dichosalocura Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 We got rain in Chapala last night. I would say we have been getting a decent rain every other night. Maybe it is less than last year. But we are definitely getting rain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenland is all ice, but got its name because one it was at one time, green and lush. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Greenwood Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Total BS … Greenland hasn’t been green for hundreds of thousands of years…just a name Eric the red gave it .Yes the weather changes with regularity but climate change usually takes ages ie …ice ages…interestingly you mention Greenland it was 60 degrees this week which resulted in the loss of 6 billion tons of ice a day…..maybe it will get green again soon but many coastal regions will be under water …we should however be safe here .

He called it “Greenland” in hopes that the name would attract settlers. But according to scientists, Greenland was actually quite green more than 2.5 million years ago. So there is that, LQ !

Maybe Greenland will go back to being very green like it was millions of years ago. I'm sure there are those there hoping so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think Greenland could've waited 1.5 million more years for humans to appear. OTOH, Greenland's a long way from central Africa. Let's make it 1.6 million, and spot those first humans 100,000 years to get there. LQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storms in the eastern Pacific actually IMPEDE our rainfall here. They disrupt the wind patterns which brings the rain from the east. Currently there are no storms in the Pacific and our rainy season is back on track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 There is one but it is too far south to disrupt the monsoon trough this time. The monsoon trough has moved back north closer to us as a large high pressure to the north and east has decreased and allowed it to do so. There's a nice progression of tropical waves along it at the moment. Rain is welcome, so far we are running close to average. Seems unusually cloudy for July, not good for solar power production.

Mainecoons Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 I can't remember the last time we had so much daytime rain and cloudiness. According to the Ajijic weather site we just made our July average rainfall. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
