You mean this Sunday or Monday, as in 2-3 days from now? That seems implausible, since the Japanese Meteorological Agency isn’t even tracking a tropical depression in that area:

On the other hand, I can’t remember the last time the Japanese Grand Prix wasn’t affected by a typhoon, so it does seem that international sporting events in Japan are cursed.

Thanks for this. Yep, them’s definitely some clouds in a part of the Pacific that’s ripe for intensification.

Edit: :lol: The JMA site updated in the past few hours, and now they have Invest 90W as an object of interest.

Get used to it.

Fire season is a normal part of the ecology of most of the western United States.

It’s not normal for the fires to be this intense. That’s partly on climate change and largely a legacy of centuries of fire suppression. The twentieth century took out a line of credit and the bill is due.

Remember the Lake Oroville Dam? The one that had a spillway failure in 2017?



It ain't doin' so hot. 2017, to 2021:



And the current level at the reservoir,



poo poo Be Dry.

quote:

As we near the end of July 2021 and enter the driest months of the year, Lake Oroville is slowly but surely emptying out. As you've read, heard and no doubt observed, that's because of two straight extremely dry winters. The reservoir now stands at 655 feet, about 27% of capacity.

To make the numbers less abstract, the lake's record low, 645.11 feet, was recorded Sept. 7, 1977, near the end of what was then the state's worst recorded drought. The reservoir has dropped a little more than a foot a day on average this month as the Department of Water Resources, which manages Oroville Dam, makes releases to meet water quality and wildlife requirements.

And we ain't gonna see any rain for at least another two months. Cool.

That was cool as heck. I especially enjoyed all the opportunities to prevent the failure that were totally ignored. Seems familiar somehow.
