One of the worst I've ever seen and I'm 63. Long Island, NY

Lots and lots of rain and clouds here in Victoria. Typical Pacific Northwest weather

35 inches on my front lawn in Maryland.

Today we got a new "heath" record 13,6 in the middle of my country and in the south 16,3 C.......

Grey September here in the Capitol of Sweden...

yup

Weather: Mexico
Location: 160 miles NW of Mexico City (Central Mexico)
Elevation: 7000 feet above sea level. (2134 meters)
Date and Time: 11:50 AM Central on March 4
Temperature Now: 65.3º F. or 18.5º C.
Note: Sunny today. It is generally always sunny in central Mexico during March.
Note: All of Central Mexico has about the same weather, so this applies to Mexico City. There is little chance of rain in Central Mexico in the month of March, and if so, it would be sparse and of little duration. The high today is predicted to be 74º F and a low of 44º F. This is the common temperature range for Central Mexico for the month of March, and there would be little variation. Possibly this information would be of assistance to people traveling to Mexico City this month for the Rolling Stones concert.

It hit 81 degrees Fahrenheit (27 Celsius) today where I live (near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).

Feels like Summer and we're not even in Spring yet.

15 inches of rain in the last 24 hours, and three more days of it to go. Flooding everywhere. This time last year it was snow--I mean, come on, Nature, get your act together! (I'm in Louisiana, by the way.)

Spring in Stockholm...I am concerned with getting air in bicycle wheels and the football..

Billions of cicadas will ascend upon the northeastern United States as another 17-year cycle concludes

A cicada crawls from its shell at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary near Kempton, Pa., on June 5, 1996, after emerging from a 17-year, underground existence. (Bill Uhrich/Reading (Pa.) Eagle)

The eighth biblical plague that tortured Egypt was a plague of locusts.

As described in Exodus 10:5, “And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field.”

Flip the aforementioned “they” from locusts to cicadas, and that’s actually a pretty apt description of what residents in some parts of Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia will experience next month when the soil warms to 64 degrees and billions of cicadas rise from the ground to mate. Fortunately, cicadas can’t chew so they don’t devour our plants and trees. If they manage to avoid predators long enough they suck up plant sap but not enough to any real damage.

This particular group of insects has a 17-year-life cycle that begins underground and culminates in the air as they swell and swarm and scream and sing, issuing deafening cries as the males desperately seek mates. This current 17-year-cycle, which began in 1999, begins to end next month, reports Cicada Mania.

As billions of insects emerge, they can reach a density of 1.5 million cicadas an acre in some areas.

The insects have hard, sleek shells topped with two bulb-like, red eyes. On average, they’re a little over 1.5 inches in length and, don’t worry, they don’t bite or sting, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.

The adults live above ground for four to six weeks, and the only thing that interests them is mating and laying eggs (much like salmon during the famed salmon run).

But there’s the noise.

Oh, the noise.

Anyone who has experienced a swarm likely remembers the noise.

As David Snyder wrote in The Washington Post in 2004, “Words seem inadequate to describe that vaguely menacing hum-whistle that seems to be everywhere but emanates from no single place in particular.”

“It feels like an alien spaceship coming in,” Arlington resident Gene Miller told Snyder.

I kind of like the cicadas song, it sounds like... summer.

bit of springi days last days in iceland,, but next days forecast is cold, frosty time again like 5 degrees minus.

What in the world... these earthquakes in the ring of fire.

Although it's not actually "the weather", it is sort of "weather-related"...

After seeing this on GoogleNews: "The fire raging through the Canadian province of Alberta has grown into a behemoth blaze that has consumed an area bigger than New York City." I just wanted to send a shout-out to any Canadian IORRians and their families who may be effected by this. From what I've been seeing in the news, as many as 80,000 people have been evacuated from their homes. Best Wishes To All.

Peace,
Mr DJA
