The first shark I have ever seen in 26 years of surfing. A little unnerving to say the least Where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdp146 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I have been visiting Scotland for the last week with my wife. Beautiful here. The UK has been having a ridiculous hot and dry summer. The hills have started now to brown out even in a lot of the highlands which is like unheard of. If anyone watched the British open last weekend you saw it at Carnoustie. Today I’m in Edinburgh and basically feels like a warm muggy night back home. watching big thunderstorm and light show pass off just to my east. These places aren’t used to this kind of weather. Not a single place I’ve been at has AC. But I of course like the heat so it’s been great for us as tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRRTA22 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Best day of the week. No severe but the persistence in tsm development really made it one of the best storm events Ive experienced in the last 10 years. Sometimes being fringed is better then being hit. Storm structures were amazing today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Yesterday's 18z sounding from Sodankylä recorded 500 hPa geopotential height at 5905 m. With the lack of actual sounding climatology, I checked how that reading compares to reanalysis data: 5905 m is the highest Z500 value in the whole N-Scandinavia, in years 1979-2017. #heatwavepic.twitter.com/6i0q4F8Gvi 3:15 AM - 29 Jul 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite 20 years life guarding at Jones beach I have yet to see one. A buddy of mine got some video of a big buck with a huge rack of antlers swimming in large shore break at RM4 last week. And I had that shark sitting. Good time for wild life sittings on the island! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jones Beach West End is one of the best spots on Long Island to see interesting bird species. Brown Pelicans have been spotted in the last few days there.

Judging the size of the pods, probably a much larger critter. The most avian color I see in my corner of the inner city comes from a cardinal or a jay. I believe I may have caught sight of one of the (seems to have adapted) escaped small parrots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
