Fire danger and windy
Good Morning Augusta.
The National Weather Service in gray Maine has issued a red flag
Warning, which is in effect from 10 am this morning until 7 PM
EDT this evening. The Fire Weather Watch is no longer in effect.
A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either
occurring now or will shortly. A combination of strong winds and low
relative humidity will create dangerous fire
growth potential.
This morning it is partly cloudy, highs of 41F. Winds in excess of 20 to 35
mph with wind chills in the teens or twenties.
Tonight it will remain partly cloudy with a Low of 25F with winds dropping
in velocity as the evening progresses.
The readings outside right now, taken from my own weather instruments:
a relative humidity of 41% with a Dew Point of 3.0ºF.
The temperature is 23.2ºF with a wind chill of 3.2ºF.
Presently we have North Northeast winds between 11.6 mph and 17.5 mph.
Our Barometric pressure is 29.99 and rising with a weather graphic
indicating sun.
We had no precipitation in this area overnight.
Visibility is 10.0 miles with a great ceiling.
Here is an interesting weather trivia fact for you:
The amount of sunlight reaching the earth's surface is 6,000 times the
amount of energy used by all human beings worldwide. The total amount of
fossil fuel used by humans since the start of civilization is equivalent to
less than 30 days of sunshine.
(Still think solar panels aren't a very good idea?)
