“#BC.’s hot, dry #summer could be setting the province up for a catastrophic #flooding event similar to the one that occurred during the #AtmosphericRivers in November 2021.

The comments came during an update on current wildfire and drought conditions. Bowinn Ma, minister of emergency management and climate readiness, said weather in the weeks and months ahead will determine the potential for fall #flooding and whether drought conditions continue into next year.” https://mastodon.roitsystems.ca/@bcinfo/111025697811564145

No one expected 31 atmospheric rivers storms to hit California. The mystery remains: Why? #CAWX #California #AtmosphericRivers

The science of #California’s record #snow: "Nature spoke to atmospheric and #climate scientists about what’s driving the surge in wet #weather and what the state could look like in a warmer future."

Astonishing frequency and density of AR tracks into California this water year. I'd guess unprecedented, but will defer to @CW3E_Scripps.

We have #AtmosphericRivers to thank for all this recent rain! 🌧️ The team from @CW3E_Scripps says we are at 31 atmospheric river events so far this water year (11 weak, 13 moderate, 6 strong, 1 extreme). Here is the map of where and when they all hit. ⬇️

If you prevent farming by flooding the lake bottom, you don't need as much water for agriculture.

@privateshufti this article is really wonderful, thank you so much for sharing. The need for and already occurring emergence of new vocabulary has already been a #ClimateDiary theme (#WinterDrought #AtmosphericRivers etc) but Anna Badkhen puts it so well

“Every day spells a new normal, requires our hearts to learn an endless vocabulary.” ❤️

@DaveWhittle

⬆️ “Across #California, residents have been reeling from the effect of #extremeweather, with a large portion of the state now covered by a presidential emergency declaration. California has been hit with 11 #atmosphericrivers in a virtually nonstop series that has sparked #floods and #landslides, toppled trees, stranded mountain dwellers in historically deep snow and downed power lines, leaving thousands without electricity.” What’s it like in

Bay Area storm update: Feeling sad about the loss of neighborhood trees.

Today my daughter's elementary school lost several trees. A nearby park lost most of a small grove of redwoods (not super old ones). A neighbor lost their second tree in 2 months.

These losses were caused by a series of climatic events: severe drought then sooo much rain + severe winds.

@BrunoMcGee @inquiline After #WinterDrought this is another new word for me this month, #AtmosphericRivers

#ClimateDiary

@inquiline @pvonhellermannn I've been eyeing the Yuba Kombi E5. It's flat here in the southern #SacramentoValley so maybe electric propulsion is not essential, but runs to the co-op, grocery store and farmer's market would be super fun. Maybe not fun at the moment, since we're getting deluged with #AtmosphericRivers coming from the tropical Pacific, or when #Wildfires are fumigating the state. But 300+ other days out of the year should be fine.

The world's #atmosphericrivers now have an intensity ranking like hurricanes.

Multiple weak #AtmosphericRivers are forecast to bring precipitation to the US West Coast over the next several days.
