  • Thanks for the explanation on the Welsh name of your new town. Will you be placing your new thermometer behind your north facing wall? Even though it is north-facing, the thermometer still needs to be sheltered in some sort of radiation shield. I assume your rain gauge will be giving you readings in metric units. Here is a link to start with on…[Read more]

  • Thanks Harry for your great reply update. Good luck in your move to Llanrhystud (what language is that BTW?) and I hope I can help you set up your weather records. I am working with Nathan on that. Amazing about the source of the maps not being from the government! I will have to tell my Norwegian friend about that website!! He may not know about…[Read more]

  • Thanks for your post Harry. I just love the weather maps your government produces. Such clearly drawn and labelled isobars! And great collaboration between the surface map and the radar overlay! I shared your post with a friend of mine over in Norway, esp. since I believe your map does show a bit of the Scandanavian coast. I am trying to get him…[Read more]

  • Great summary Jeff! I have been really busy with all sorts of activities, including getting used to my new rollator walker I got with Marty’s help a week ago. I hope to get all the revision edits together and post the Ellicott City floods on WT sometime this weekend. Will you be able to then slightly modify your May Maryland report to refer to my…[Read more]

  • Thank you Brie! Great to hear more about you and your Maryland connection. And you have been busy in weather on some of your local media outlets there. The only Seattle on-air met I knew of for years is the recently retired Jeff Renner, who has written a few books on Mountain weather and climatology that particularly piques my interest. I have…[Read more]
