In Washington, DC, temperatures are taken at the airport next to the Potomac River’s breezes, and are often at odds with the warmer temperatures downtown or in the poorer sections of the city.
Meanwhile, I wish we would hear/learn more about the effects of the Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption that sent huge quantities of water into our upper atmosphere. How much of it is still up there, and how fast is it coming down and becoming part of the current weather conditions, especially rainfall? Yes, desert cities in the middle east and even our own Las Vegas have occasional very heavy rainfall, but it does seem there have been some unusually heavy rains/flooding in a number of places the past two year. Even Russia has just had major flooding which broke a dam recently.
And then there is Phoenix, Arizona where the rain evaporates before it hits the ground.
