Long duration #heatwave expected Friday through early next week in California. Minimum temperatures in the low/mid 70s will provide little to no overnight relief to those without adequate cooling or hydration. Heat Advisories and Extreme Heat warnings for parts of central and southern California.

Warning of a prolonged late‑season California heat wave: text and color maps show major-to-extreme heat risk concentrated in Southern California and the Central Valley with peak temperatures in the 100s and safety guidance to stay hydrated and use cooling.

Spent a wonderful weekend with my Mom and sister in Michigan! The late September weather was absolutely perfect! 🌾🍂🌅

Picture of a completely calm Lake Michigan next to the Grand Traverse Lighthouse. The water is so clear that you can see individual rocks under the surface.

My Mom and I, sitting outside at Aurora Cellars. I have a wine flight, and my mom has a hard cider. The sky is totally clear.

Very heavy rain right now. Probably doing wonders for holiday traffic on 66 westbound #VAwx

A severe thunderstorm approaches over the Blue Ridge, with a turbulent, textured cloud base filling most of the sky. A dark, low cloud feature extends beneath the storm while a gray rain shaft obscures part of the mountains at right. Brighter sky remains near the western horizon.

RadarScope reflectivity from KLWX at 3:09 p.m. EDT on September 4, 2026, showing a line of strong to severe thunderstorms stretching from near Winchester through Stephens City and Middletown toward Strasburg, approaching Warren County and Front Royal from the west. Numerous lightning strikes are plotted within the storms, with yellow warning polygons covering portions of the line.

The National Hurricane Center said El Niño is “becoming so dominant” that it is “drowning out” subseasonal modes like the Madden-Julian Oscillation. The “near-stationary El Niño footprint” will keep tropical cyclone odds elevated in the eastern Pacific through early September.

I spent the last week sailing around Croatia in a catamaran with my best friends! Incredible experience. I would absolutely go back. Croatia is so beautiful!

Me, in white shorts and a white tank top, pressing a button at a public fountain to make water come out of a sculpture of a lion.

Four friends and I, standing on a staircase near an old church with orange flowers in the foreground.

My friends and I at the main waterfall in Krka National Park. Moments later, a heron flew over us and landed in the water nearby. My dad has appeared to us as a heron many times since passing away suddenly while on vacation in late 2024. Incredible.

The strangest thing happened today. We went to the uninhabited island of Lunga, west of Mull, to look at the puffins nesting there. I was just taking photos when I felt a thump as something landed quite heavily in my head. It was a puffin! It stayed for about a minute before flying off.
