What are your end-of-month climate statistics according to WeatherCat?

[elagache]

Dear WeatherCat climate watchers,

It is April fool's day, but it is difficult to imagine anything much serious than extreme weather.   March was an extreme roller coaster here in the greater San Francisco bay area.  This is shown on the report from Canebas Weather Station for this past month:



Once more, I'll make my "plug" to WeatherCatRCP in the hopes that Grand might reconsider and support it.

Since it is another test of the WeatherCat 4.0 beta, here is the same report with the end of the month coming from the Ecowitt station:



Unfortunately, I couldn't locate the Ecowitt station completely out of the trees so I suppose that explains the discrepancies. 

Of course the location for the data remains the same:



Sadly drought continues to be a major problem across the western United States as the NOAA spring outlook grimly predicts.

Northern California was briefly proclaimed to be out of drought back in January.  I'm sure I wasn't the only person who snickered at such dubious assertions.  Skeptics like me would be getting the last laugh if the matter was even remotely funny.

Oh well, . . . . . .

I'm getting old and can't remember how to do something I've done for years. 

How do you post the screenshot of Grand's WeatherCat RCP app in the body of your message without uploading it as an attachment?

Here we go (again...)

Dear Blick and WeatherCatters who like "pretty pictures."

I'm getting old and can't remember how to do something I've done for years. 

How do you post the screenshot of Grand's WeatherCat RCP app in the body of your message without uploading it as an attachment?

Well it isn't much of a secret and you have to be will to use some of the space on your web server.  All I do is keep a folder on the web server and put the images there.  Then I to figure out the URL that goes to the WeatherCat RCP images.  So the image above has this URL:

http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/WeatherCat%20climate%20reports%20-%202026/WeatherCat_Mar_2026_climate.jpg
If you copy that into a browser the WeatherCat RCP image will pop up.

It is using up some storage space, but these days web hosting providers give you plenty so thus far I haven't had to go back and delete old images.

I hope that's enough to jog your memory!

Dear Steve, Blick, Dave and WeatherCat climate watchers,

70s with morning sprinkles in Kauai. 

. . . . . . . . and judging from the photo - with a chance of rainbows!  Sounds like Kauai at its best!   

March was...
   Warmer than average (59.03°F versus an average of 52.45)
   Drier than average (2.87 in versus an average total of 5.05)

Thanks Dave for sharing!

Who's next?

Dear WeatherCat climate watchers,

May-day has come and passed.  Unfortunately, I spent yesterday afternoon in the ER with my 94 year old mother who broke her arm in a fall - so sorry for the delay.  April was much more benevolent than March at Canebas Weather Station:



Of course the location for the data remains the same:



It was the second wettest April in the 16 year history of Canebas weather station and we'll take every drop!!
