First Third of August Gone...

The good news is we have not seen any tropical activity yet in August and models have none for the next 7-10 days in the Gulf.   Saw on The Weather Channel that the first 2 months of the Hurricane Season typically have only 12% of the named storms with the last 4 months seeing 88% of the activity.   Since Louisiana has never seen a major landfalling Hurricane in November, the next 8-10 weeks will be our "Pay Attention" time.  RIGHT NOW, there is nothing for us to watch as the Tropics remain dead in our part of the World.  The "ON Switch" is over the Western Pacific that should drift over the eastern Pacific during the next 2 weeks.  Eventually we will likely see that ON Switch (rising air) move our way making for an active September & early October.  The longer we can hold off on getting active, the closer we get to October when cold fronts start coming.  Those fronts often turn any storm heading towards us east, steering the brunt of the storm  away.  As I've mentioned before, c'mon October & that cooler air!

We're currently stuck with a heat advisory that is likely to last for several more days.  Shower chances may increase later next week making it less hot.   It's just a difficult time to exist outside, unless you're at the beach or have a pool!

Forgot to mention a story in yesterday's USA TODAY that said..."UN (United Nations): Changing diet could help save land from climate change."  As I've mentioned before, the climate issue is mainly about Money, Power & Control.  The story goes on..." 25-30% of all greenhouse gas emissions come from food systems. "  "Changing the food we eat (translation - no meat) could reduce greenhouse gas emissions."  "Meat is identified as the single food with the greatest impact on the environment." (damn cattle!)   First it was the energy (fossil fuels) we use, followed by the cars we drive (non-electric) and now the food we eat -go vegan.   Next it'll be the number of children a family can have. (think China)   There is an agenda here Gang. Stay tuned!

Note, it was just a pre-season game last night.   They'll be fine.  Who Dat!
