Wildfire kills two people in Spain amid European heat wave https://www.byteseu.com/1158978/ #123401823 #Article #business #ClimateAndEnvironment #Fires #GeneralNews #HeatWaves #Spain #weather #Wildfires #WorldNews
Good morning tooters. Another mild night & a restless nights sleep to boot. 5c when I got up just after 6am & I’ve been dawdling ever since. The sun hasn’t cleared the hills yet, but it’s coming & we will be heading to a pleasant 15c although rain is forecast for this afternoon.
I need to ring the optometrist, eyelash problems once again - what joy 
.
I’ve been a bit slack with my exercise the last few days, mainly because I’ve pulled a muscle & I don’t want to make it worse, so if I get into the optometrist early enough, I think I’ll take myself off for a walk.
I took some soup down to my daughter yesterday & master 3 who has the flu asked if grandma can get him some watermelon & strawberries, so I did. He’s only been wanting to eat what he calls breakfast & cereal - breakfast is toast with Vegemite.
I’d better get showered & organised with my day. Wishing everyone a great #Thursday #Weather #Exercise #Health

Home, dry, dinner eaten.
I did have an umbrella, but the young woman in the suddenly transparent t-shirt definitely needed it more than me.

Hurricane Science Was Great While It Lasted
Known as the Special Sensor Microwave Imager Sounder, or SSMIS, it rides on a series of satellites and allows forecasters to see a storm’s structure, which might otherwise be invisible. The Hurricane Hunter planes that fly into storms can also be used to generate three-dimensional storm images, but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which is responsible for hurricane forecasting, has only two of those aircraft. They can’t be everywhere at once. With the SSMIS, forecasters had an autonomous, powerful eye in the sky. But now the Department of Defense says it will cease processing and distributing the crucial imagery from this sensor at the end of this month. Losing these views threatens the National Hurricane Center’s ability to see what’s forming.

We are steaming, like cartoon characters.

The bus is there. Three minutes until departure.
Hurrying from tram to bus, massive drops of water. Refreshing, as much as unwanted right now.

Lightning!

The tram is hurrying me further into the storm. Rain pouring down now.
I am, of course, dressed for a dry, 36°C, day.

My app tells me we're running 27 minutes late. The train following us is running 57 minutes late.
We're still riding into the storm, but my stop is next. At which point it will begin to rain.
Los Angeles area weather is "benign" per NWS Los Angeles. Enjoy it while it lasts!
"...The streak of benign weather will continue through the short term and through the weekend as well. A little dry trof will move
through today and will produce, at worst, some mtn CU. Thursday
will feature a little pop up ridge followed by another trof on
Friday. Hgts mostly rise through the period from 580 dam this
afternoon to about 588 dam on Friday. At the sfc mdt to stg
onshore flow will persist through the 3 day period...."

Clouds cover what was a clear blue sky earlier. The temperature has dropped 10 to about 26°C.
We crawl into the first unplanned stop. No one gets out, no one is waiting to get in.

We have two extra stops on this trip, so another train or two must have vanished mysteriously from the timetable.
And we're driving into the storm. In summer clothing.
At least eight dead as heatwave in Europe closes nuclear reactor and fans fires
Four people have died in Spain, two in France and two in Italy as an early summer heatwave continues to grip much of Europe.

Chaos at the train station. The RE to Hannover pulls into platform 4 and all the passengers spill out. The train stops here, they have no other information, and a storm is coming.
No, a real weather storm.
The train now plans on going back to Bremen, which is why I can sit here comfortably and watch ten or twelve individuals, mobiles pressed to their ears, all asking the same question of ten or twelve other people who are not here, and do not know.
Weather apps on our smartphones appear kind of magic!
But formidable international observations, data exchange, and forecasting infrastructures are behind this "magic".
