Thank you!

@climatologist49.bsky.social is daylight defined as sunrise to sunset?

Nice! I realize this isn’t a fun conversation to have, props to you for taking it and actually looking at the output! If you ever need a science review/quick write up on a weather/climate story feel free to reach out.

not here to “criticize” anything. Just encouraging you to report the “real story” with heavy emphasis on wording and science. Dealing with deniers is much easier when the headline is pretty “lame” reporting on a pretty standard story. 50C is very hot but not unheard off in that region.

Predicted temp = surface temperature. Educating people on weather events and climate science is much more effective without trying to fetch a dramatic headline. It makes it hard to make “calm” science when this kind of post is incentivizing researchers to publish drama studies instead…

Point being you went out of your way to omit that by cropping the screengrab, well knowing that it gives ya something sensational to broadcast.

Yes but the map you posted insinuates that anyone expects 60+C surface temp. That’s not true. Literally just say “feels like temps in the xyz possible” instead. Like why pretend this is something it isn’t?

Correct, this is just clickbait reporting. Actual surface temp will very likely be *much* below record and somewhere close to 50C. Still bad but not this kind of bad.

Disingenuous reporting. Surface temp is predicted to be close to 50C. Still bad. But instead of sharing the actual story you out here clickbaiting not labeling your map proper. Do better.

For those curious, that looks like a surface skin temp map, def not surface temp.

Theoretically no. There is way too large of a spatial separation for one to trigger the other afaik.
Then again there is an apparent statistical correlation between JdF and San Andreas majors, so who knows.

Am atmospheric science not geo so take with grain of salt…

Ty!

What’s the go-to buoy database? Would love to plot some max swell by region!

51 for King Salmon is crazy. Out here and Reno we haven’t seen 50+ in what like two months now?

Would be curious to find the triggers. Especially the fin crisis ‘08 seems to have sent some people over the ledge. Does this make Trump 2016 inevitable?

Yea agreed. Then again the way it was enforced is idiotic too. Not being open to saying okay yeah we fined you and tomorrow this won’t happen definitely leaves some sour after taste to me. It’s childish to insist immediate correction.

I mean I don’t know. Rated OTB games are stressful regardless of audience and who you are. Walking through NYC is arguably the least calming activity you can subject yourself to between games. Moreover it didn’t seem like there was a lot of malicious intent from Magnus in the first place…

I was there today, and it was great to see players show up in all sorts of outfits. Nepo in a hoodie, Pragg in a suit and Magnus in Magnus. FIDE is a sad roadblock to actually expanding the sport to a broader audience in a way that for example chesscom did in a fraction of the time…

To add some onto that a lot of the waves didn’t even make it to the Basin. Some midlevel high over Algeria kept steering some features around it North along the western African coast.

The question to me then becomes if the warming in the northeastern Sahara is a permanent feature in the future.

For peak season specifically, it should also be noted that AEWs developed exceptionally far North bringing quite a bit of flooding from the Chad to Mauritania. Abnormally high temps in the northeastern Sahara appear to have driven that shift.
