Reminder: seasons are a unit of climatology, not meteorology. Happy climatological Fall!

Happy 22nd day of Fall! 🍂

Happy Fall Equinox!

Happy Autumnal Equinox to all the haters and losers, sadly of which there are many.

The other day I noted that Ketchikan, Alaska, averages over 50 calendar days per year with 1"+ precipitation. How do other places compare? This map shows the average value of the 50th wettest calendar day of the year. (v 2.0) @alaskawx.bsky.social @lauritadianita.bsky.social

Ketchikan, Alaska, passed the 100" year-to-date precipitation mark yesterday (Sep 19th). This is 13 days sooner than the long term average of Oct 2nd. @alaskawx.bsky.social

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Verbatim: "White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson described Mr Swain as a "longtime Democrat donor who has spent hundreds of dollars supporting liberal politicians, including loser Kamala Harris, with radical climate policies that the American people have repeatedly rejected."

Same, tbh.

Ketchikan, Alaska, the rainiest city in the U.S. (over 150" per year), had their 4th wettest calendar day on record yesterday. This Summer/Fall, they also had their 10th and then 5th longest dry spells on record. It's been feast or famine. @alaskawx.bsky.social

If you need some background noise to fall asleep to, there's a 4:41 audio story in the link where I describe the summer that just finished here in Alaska .

Folks, ...

Anchorage Intl Airport has received over 0.25" rain again today. This is the 4th day in a row with 1/4" or more of precipitation. Remarkably, this ties for the third longest streak in over 100 years of record keeping (6 in Aug 1989; 5 in Aug 1932). @alaskawx.bsky.social

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

there was never going to be a world in which the right didn’t claim the left was celebrating the death of charlie kirk, no matter how respectable anyone tried to be.

Looks like a couple of new inches of snow at the @toolikfieldstation.bsky.social. @ubetula.bsky.social @alaskawx.bsky.social

Not looking great for my trip to Nepal in a few weeks. 😟

Sea ice extent in the Chukcki Sea, northwest of Alaska, continues to very slowly decrease in NSIDC data. Forecast winds during the upcoming week are not conducive to very much more decline, so the 2025 minimum extent will not be in the ten lowest of past 47 years. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce
