Sit back in your chair. Take a drink of your coffee and take a look at the soil moisture level of your almond orchard. Then pick up the data from your weather station. No it's not too good to be true. Today's technology enables farmers to gain important knowledge about their fields right from their personal computer. Never before have farmers had this kind of information that can be stored and evaluated. Aquaspy Inc. has been designing products that farmers can use to really make a difference. They are a company that believes that every drop of water that a farmer uses should be backed by the intelligence of good decision-making. As an agricultural consultant I can understand exactly what they mean...

Aruba is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and is located in the Caribbean Sea north of Venezuela. The Netherlands Antilles islands of Bonaire and Curacao are just to the east. Aruba is fairly flat with some hills several hundred feet high. It is a popular tourist destination and is known for its white sandy beaches. Hurricanes and tropical storms nearly always pass to the north of Aruba, through the central Caribbean or farther north. Occasionally some fringe effects such as outer rain bands or high surf do reach the island. Upper air winds are usually unfavorable for hurricanes to develop near Aruba. The tropical storms and hurricanes that do bring fringe effects mostly form east of the...

p>Antigua and Barbuda are two islands of the Leeward Islands located in the eastern Caribbean Sea. Barbuda lies about 30 miles north of Antigua and is the smaller and least populated of the two islands. The Caribbean Sea is to the southwest side of the islands and Atlantic Ocean on the northeastern side. Both of the islands lack high terrain, especially Barbuda. Antigua's highest elevation is a little over 1300 feet at Boggy Peak. Barbuda's highest point is only near 150 feet. The lack of elevation plays a part in the low annual precipitation amounts. There is a risk from tropical cyclones during the hurricane season. Rainfall Antigua and Barbuda have a dry climate with about 40 inches of rain per...

The Virgin Islands are situated just east of Puerto Rico in the northern Caribbean. Most of the islands are volcanic in origin and are quite rugged with some peaks over 1500 feet high. They are divided into the U.S. Virgin Islands to the west and British Virgin Islands to the east. The largest islands include, Saint John, Saint Croix, Saint Thomas, Tortola, Anegada, and Virgin Gorda. Many smaller islands are part of the Virgin Islands also. The Atlantic Ocean borders the Virgin Islands to the north and Caribbean Sea to the south. This area is sometimes affected by hurricanes with the greatest threat during the height of hurricane season from mid August into October. The Virgin Islands are grouped in...

Rainfall St. Martin / St. Maarten rainfall has a wet and dry season with rainfall amounts nearly doubling in the summer and early autumn. The wet season coincides with the second half of the hurricane season. Four to five inches of rainfall occurs each month August through November. The increase in rainfall is...

Do you ever lay on the grass and looked up at the clouds? We all like to pick out various shapes and watch them change in the breeze. Did you know there is a scientific way to do this? English scientist Luke Howard in 1803 developed a cloud classification system. Such classification allows other scientists to study cloud patterns. His system is still used to today and it helps us to predict weather changes. There are two basic types of clouds: cumuliform and stratiform. Cumuliform clouds are puffy and are formed by the lifting of the air and water vapor that is contained in each cloud. Stratiform clouds are flat layers that usually occur in stable weather. These two types are further classified by...

As the Jimmy Buffett song goes, “The Weather is Here . . . “ -- In Acapulco you can almost always count on a sunny day and a clear night – at least during three seasons of the year. The winter months are the best. In the summer the weather can be “iffy” -- both in terms of sun (versus rain) and temperature. You will find Acapulco at a latitude of 16°45’N. Anything up to 22.5° is considered in the tropics. Thus, Acapulco’s tropical climate should come as no surprise. (Perhaps an unexpected effect of being in the tropics is that the face of the moon appears to have rotated. Be sure to study it at home first, and then compare when you get here.) Here is the good news: From December to...

Many traditional ways of forecasting the weather often seem dated and superstitious, but modern scientific and meteorological research has shown that traditional weather signs are actually more accurate than you might think. For example, many traditional weather signs focus on the behavior of animals, such as the flight patterns of birds. Well, scientists now know that since birds have hollow bones, they are very sensitive to atmospheric pressure, acting just like natural barometers. This article will explain how to use several traditional weather forecasting methods to tell when that big storm is going to blow in. "Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning." A red...

Real time satellite images can make forecasting weather conditions much more accurate because they show exactly what is happening in any given location. Satellite images show the intensity, speed and direction of storms, allowing a forecaster to give more accurate information to the areas in front of the storm. By observing a satellite image, the forecaster can see what changes are taking place within the storm system over a period of time. If the storm is intensifying or breaking apart, changing directions, speeding up or slowing down, this will all become apparent in real time satellite images. This becomes especially beneficial in areas prone to hurricanes or tornadoes. The images allow...

We've all been in this situation -- in the elevator with a stranger, or when first meeting someone new -- the awkwardness in the air is heavier than plutonium, and they turn to you and start talking about....THE WEATHER!  Oh, no, no, no -- anything but THAT!  Unless you happen to be a meteorologist, it's a desperate, Hail Mary play, that's maybe good for a few seconds of conversation, and then leads straight back to the dead-end of awkward silence.  Luckily, that's not true for music and lyrics about the weather.  There are many great songs about the weather whose music and lyrics have not only lasted for a few seconds, but for decades.  Here are some weather tunes and lyrics -- or ones that...

Kids love to play and it is their right to play different types of games inside and outside their homes. We know how health-oriented you are and how much you pay attention to the physical activity of your child. But what do you do if you have bad weather conditions like rains or thunderstorms and your child is unable to go out and play. Do you make him sit and study all the while in such situations? Certainly not! The best way is to entertain them at home with the help of apt board games. Playing indoors is something we all cherish. Remember the card games we used to play when schools used to declare sudden holidays? Today the kids need many more things besides the regular card games. For them, the...

So, does the weather really effect fish? We all know it effects fishermen. Fishing for Steelhead in the cold and rain can be a horrible experience and make you wonder why you took up fishing in the first place, but does the weather effect the fish under the water? The weather and fish are as linked together as a pair of Siamese twins, and it has nothing to do with the comfort of the fisherman. As a matter of fact it's not even about fish, its about all animals in nature. Have you ever noticed how the cows in your local field seem to huddle together as a storm approaches? And also how the woods become eerily quiet before the onset of a storm? What about the woods during and after a snowfall...

"Every wind," wrote Francis Bacon, "has its weather," and many proverbial sayings about the relations of wind direction to weather were current long before modern meteorology, with its synoptic charts, made clear the reasons for these relationships. Such sayings indicate some of the reasons why men have always been interested in knowing which way the wind blew, even if they were not sailors, dependent upon its favorable course to get them speedily to the havens where they would be. Man's interest in this subject is evinced in a bewildering diversity of weather vanes. No other weather instrument has assumed a thousandth part as many shapes as has the one originally designed for the mere practical...

Observations from the EdgeRobert T. NanningaBuzz PublicationsMay 31, 2007 Jon Bell of Vista, emailed me last week telling me I was right and wrong about the U.S. Occupation of Iraq and requested I “take pen in hand and address a more pressing and dangerous issue. That is the impending Federal legislation (S.1348) that would give INSTANT legal status to 12-20 million lawbreaking, invaders of US sovereignty. You should demand the Federal Govt throw the illegals out of the US and encourage your readers through letters, emails, faxes to their elected reps do the same.” O.K. First of all, I don't use a pen to write this column, I use a computer. And second I would never demand the federal government...

There is no wrong or right in the spiritual world. There is no perfect time for anything to occur. In today's world we live by the law of man, this law dictates to us what is right and wrong, it gives us vision and we base our existence on it. This is the law that judges man and gives meaning to man's life. In the spiritual world there is no law of this nature to abide by, so man cannot be judged by it. In the spiritual world our state of existence is based on the spirit. It dictates our mood swings, our feeding habits, our enthusiasm to do different things and it is the basis of who we are and what we are. Some of these things are not necessarily wrong or right during the time they happen but what...

A weather station is a great tool to have for your home. You can monitor the weather conditions for your precise location instead of relying on local weather reports which may not reflect the weather in your exact location. A basic weather forecasting setup can tell you the inside and outside temperature, humidity level, barometric pressure, wind speed and wind direction. It's also a great way to teach your children about the science of how weather works. Not only that but it is also a handy tool for keeping an eye on the climate in your garden. Many weather hobbyists connect their station to their computer and upload the readings to web sites which analyze and store the data. For a business such as...

If Johannes Kepler, the renowned 17th century astronomer and discoverer of the planetary laws of motion, could speak from the heavenlies, he might have a few words of wisdom to share with the National Weather Service. Although Kepler's name is not normally associated with meteorology, he was quite the weather forecaster in his day. His first claim to fame, by the way, was not due to his discovery of those planetary laws, but because of his accurate long-range weather forecast of the severe winter that put Styermark, Germany on ice in 1593. Kepler's genius and outside-the-box thinking led him to equate terrestrial weather patterns with the geometrical formations made between the earth and planets...

I could talk all day about weather. Weather is one of my favorite subjects and I learned about it growing up and later over the Internet. Yea, I bought a few books about it too. It's one of those things that, as you grow older and get into a career, you wish you had done it instead of your current career. I wish I had become a meteorologist but I've done the next best thing. I have my own home weather station that I forecast my local weather with. What's really fun is when I can look at my weather equipment and get the same results as the guys on TV and they have the National Weather Service (NWS) to get their information from. My neighbors all come to me when they have questions about the weather...

Importance of Aviation Weather Even novice pilots understand that weather affects a plane in flight very differently than it affects a car driving down the freeway. Although weather conditions can compromise your safety both in the air and on the road, the stakes are higher in flight because you can't pull over to the shoulder if the severity of weather exceeds your abilities. To better understand the forces that weather exerts on planes, it's important to realize that the atmosphere is not empty space. Heat from the sun and friction from the earth's surface act upon the gases and water in the air, creating a variety of weather conditions. A number of factors—wind, cloud layers, temperature, dew...

Anyone who suffers from migraine headaches probably knows that there are certain triggers that may bring one on. Eating chocolate, drinking wine and even stress have been found to increase the incidence of migraine in many suffers. But one trigger that many people may not know about and have little control over is the weather. Migraine headaches are extremely painful headaches which result from changes in the blood vessels of the brain and can be severely debilitating including other symptoms such as sensitivity to sound and light, nausea and vomiting. More common in women, about 18% of them suffer from this while only 7% of men are affected. Sometimes migraines sufferers also reports seeing...

These weather conditions and the placement of Costa Rica makes this a place to come. For those of you who are...

You might think that weather forecasting requires a degree in meteorology. Well, perhaps a degree in statistical analysis would be more useful. Here is a new way to forecast the weather with less knowledge, but greater accuracy. Here in Canon City, Colorado, on Friday, February 2, 2007, I brought in my Newspaper from the porch when it arrived, at about 3 in the afternoon. I opened the newspaper to the page with the weather forecast. I was wondering how cold it would be on Saturday. 13 degrees Fahrenheit was the high temperature forecast for Saturday. This was way too low, I figured. I checked the forecasts on television and on the internet. They said we would reach 23 or 27 degrees the following day...

Every good boater knows that checking the weather before you go boating is the best safety precaution you can take. Having some high tech marine electronics on board helps a lot too. You should always carry a radio (and some spare batteries) that can pick up live feeds from the national and international weather feeds such as NOAA and Sirius XM radio weather, and keep the radio turned on and tuned in. Having a radio that receives weather feeds is a great start, but if your radio stops working for any reason, it's good to know how to watch for signs of impending bad weather using current local conditions like wind direction, cloud formations, atmospheric pressure and temperature. There are several...

There are many different advantages associated with emergency weather radios. Regardless of where you live, or the emergency conditions that you may be subjected to, weather radios have the capability of providing you with the detailed information that you need in order to preparing for situations that could potentially endanger the health and safety of yourself, as well as your loved ones. Many individuals that have experienced severe weather conditions in their area such as tornadoes and hurricanes have successfully made it through such dangers by adhering to the alerts issued on weather emergency radios. Throughout this guide, you will learn important details pertaining to weather radios. An...

Originally, weather predicting was not so easy a task like now. Ever since our ancestors stopped their nomadic lives and started beginning to cultivate, they felt the need to predict the ever changing weather in order to keep their crops as well as livestock safe. Even now we are required to know what the future weather conditions are going to be like in order to plan certain activities as well as protect ourselves. Today the most common source from which we obtain information on future weather conditions is from the local news channel. The newspaper also provides information on weather conditions for the rest of the day. The news channel or newspapers usually get their information from the local...

Previously we provided information on what weather radios are and their purpose. This article pertains to how weather radios work. Once you have selected a radio that fits your needs, you need to learn how it works. Most radios have a power cord that you can plug into the wall to operate the radio. They all have or should have battery backup in the event of a power failure or if it is a portable radio that you can carry with you. These radios broadcast weather information on seven channels or frequencies throughout the US. By reviewing the FIPS codes you can find the closest tower that transmits in your area. Afer you find that frequency you should hear a continuous broadcast for your area. If the...
