Good morning Augusta

You can find my personal weather station list with AMBIENT weather.com as KMEAUGUS22. That stands for Kennebec County in Augusta, Maine that first went on line in 2022. There is a 20 second delay between when the station reads the weather and when it hits the web.

Today’s weather proverb:

 

“Rainbow in the morning sailor’s warning; rainbow at night sailor’s delight.”

This proverb is similar to the “Red sky at night…” one, but rather than looking at the sky as a whole, you’re focusing on a unique weather phenomenon: the rainbow. Since rainbows are always on the opposite side of us from the sun, they appear in the west in the morning, and the east in the evening. A rainbow will always be in the location of rain, so a morning rainbow means precipitation in the west (likely approaching your location), and an evening rainbow means precipitation in the east (likely heading away from your location). Since fair weather often follows a rain shower, night rainbows delight sailors.
