The official weather forecast seems accurate and there is some stuff on it's way. The change in the light was astounding around mid-afternoon as seen here.
A very odd day in more ways than one as I had to spend a couple of hours unblocking our main drain to the road, about 30 metres away and all in hot sunshine. Clearing the blockage was unpleasant obviously but fairly quickly resolved. It is the clearing up afterwards that takes the time. Just thought I would share that with you!
.... sunny with spells of rain!! Although, this was taken a couple of days ago that weather forecast stands for today!! Most certainly cooling down!!

Lots of birds in the air tongiht. A good time to visit Birdcast.info and look at the live radar. Then walk outside and listen for awhile.
If the bell is wet, it's raining.
If the bell is swinging, the wind is blowing.
If the bell casts a shadow, the sun is shining.
If the bell does not cast a shadow and is not wet, the sky is cloudy.
If the bell is not visible, it is foggy.
If the bell is white, it is snowing.
If the bell is coated with ice, there is a frost.
If the ice is thick, it's a heavy frost.
If the bell is ringing, there is an earthquake.
If the bell is under water, there is a flood.
If the bell is warm, it is sunny.
If the bell is missing, there was a tornado.
If the bell is wet and swinging violently, there is a hurricane.
If the bell has white splats on it, watch out for seagulls.
Fall migration is peaking. The number of birds in the air tonight is mind boggling. A good time to be outside.

Still at Battle Hill Farm Forest Park where clumps of Daffodil are bursting into bloom - and even the weather forecast is suggesting warmer weather - at last...! :-)
The official Web Site outlining the “story” behind what is now a tranquil working farm open to the Public appears beneath the previous Image, but here’s an interesting little “unofficial” account that a reliable Source shared some years ago... Before relating this unofficial account, however, you might have noticed that the official Web Site notes that some Maori were “assisting” the Government Forces... It turned out that these “friendly” Maori were actually assisting Te Rangihaeata’s eventual escape! So, it is (I think) at least possible that the following might have happened...:
Governor Grey had apparently planned a two-pronged Campaign to defeat “troublesome” Maori. The first prong was to kidnap Te Raupararaha at his Pa (or fortified village) at Plimmerton; the second was to destroy Te Rangihaeata and his Ngati Toa people who were known to be further inland...
On the morning that the British troops were to move out of Plimmerton (having presumably successfully kidnapped Te Raupararaha), those Maori guides performed a Haka (a traditional war dance), supposedly to kindle a fighting spirit within themselves and the troops. What the soldiers didn’t realise was that their guides changed the wording of that Haka, and in the still morning air, bellowed out a warning to Te Rangihaeata which in effect said, “Watch out Brothers. The Soldiers are coming, but we will take them the long way round, so it will be a few days before you see them!”. (Or words to that effect!).
And so it was that the soldiers were – quite literally – led up the garden path. The trek to Battle Hill took at least three days over difficult terrain and through thick forest; it should only have taken a few hours! By the time they reached Te Rangihaeata’s position, he and most of his people had fled. Those who remained put up a pretty good fight, forcing the soldiers to fetch canon from Porirua – but by the time those weapons had been brought to the foot of Battle Hill, the Defenders had melted away into the rugged countryside to the north...
So ended the last fight in the Wellington Region between Government Forces and Maori who soon afterwards were forced to ‘sell’ their land to the Government which in turn sold the land to the White settlers...
Is there regret over what happened? Yes, and in recent years there has been a concerted effort to recognise those Wrongs, and to offer compensation to the people who were so badly treated; this process continues to this day. Probably the Wikipedia Site (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Waitangi_claims_and_settl...) offers a reasonable Summary of the Compensation negotiations...
Air quality and climate change are important challenges for society. As part of Europe’s environmental monitoring Copernicus programme, the Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite will be launched towards the end of the year. It carries the Tropomi tropospheric monitoring instrument to measure atmospheric trace gases such as nitrogen dioxide, ozone, carbon monoxide and methane. It will provide daily worldwide measurements for the next seven years. The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service will use these data to forecast air quality.
Developed by the Netherlands and ESA, Tropomi is particularly innovative. It observes sunlight that is scattered back to space by Earth’s surface and atmosphere, detecting the unique fingerprints of each trace gas in different parts of the spectrum.
As a significant improvement on earlier such instruments, Tropomi has a resolution of 7 km x 7 km – six times higher than the ozone monitor on NASA’s current Aura satellite. In addition, the sensitivity of individual ground pixels is also significantly higher. High spatial resolution and sensitivity are very important for identifying small emission sources and for making observations in between clouds.
ESA has assessed how Tropomi-type observations will improve air-quality forecasts, computing the concentrations of trace gases for the summer of 2003. Europe was suffering a severe heatwave and high air pollution at the time. From the modelled concentrations, simulated satellite observations with realistic uncertainties have been created. This is shown in the image above and was presented at the Living Planet Symposium in Prague in May 2016. The study showed that Tropomi’s observations of nitrogen dioxide and other gases will greatly improve air-quality forecasts.

A loosely planned Sunday sunrise with a cursory glance at the weather.
The cloud cover was initially very heavy, breaking up around 0650 and playing ball until about 0715.
Unfortunately, it wasn't brilliant, but this is one of those 'snapshot' moments - two other togs on the beach, doing their thing.

GREEN PAPAYA SALAD
It is a Northeastern food that is eaten with sticky rice and other Northeastern dishes such as laab, beef salad and bamboo shoot salad.
The two most popular types of green papaya salad have either dried shrimp or salted crab. Green papaya salad with dried shrimp and peanuts is called som tum thai. The green papaya salad with salted crab is called som tum pbooh. The majority of the ingredients are the same.
INGREDIENTS (For 2 Servings)
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 lime
2 cups green papaya, shredded
6 green beans
1 clove garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon dried shrimp
2 chili peppers
5 cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons peanuts, toasted
PROCEDURE
In Thailand, green papaya salad is made using a clay mortar, wooden pestle and a spatula. Smash a clove of garlic first. Then add green beans and halved cherry tomatoes. Pound a few times just to bruise the beans and get the juice out of the tomatoes. Add chili peppers and crush them just enough to release the hotness, unless you like your salad really hot. Add the green papaya, dried shrimp, toasted peanuts, fish sauce, lime juice and palm sugar. Use the pestle to push the mixture up in the mortar and the spatula to push it down so that the mixture is mixed well.
However, if you do not have a big enough mortar you can crush garlic, tomatoes, green beans. Set them aside in a large bowl. Add dried shrimp, fish sauce, lime juice and palm sugar to the bowl. Add green papaya and mix well. Serve with sticky rice and a sliver of cabbage, green beans and Thai basil.
For som tum pbooh, omit the dried shrimp and toasted peanuts and add salted crabs instead. I microwave the salted crabs for 30 seconds before adding them to the papaya salad to kill any residual bacteria. Add only half of the fish sauce called for because the salted crab can be quite salty.
TIPS
The balance of fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar and peppers listed here are guidelines. Som tum is an individual dish that you will find you might like your with more, say, lime juice than what the recipe calls for.

Obviously this is the shadow of an umbrella but what I like about it is that my shadow has a shadow!
Fall migration runs from approximately 1 August to 30 November (though some species migrate earlier and later than this window) in the contiguous U.S. So we are well into fall migration. The cloudy, rainy weather in Oklahoma will put a damper on night navigation for the coming week, but when the sun comes out, and the nights are clear with a north breeze, be ready. Check Cornell Lab's Birdcast.info for daily migration forecasts.
Expect four days of heavy rain--that was the weather forecast. It was accurate for the first day. Yesterday, the second day, the weather vacillated between a sort of lazy drizzle and scattered cloudiness. In case the rest of the forecast was accurate, I decided to take a short walk along the creek during one of the less cloudy periods.
I had an unpleasant moment with a feral cat, saw a pair of deer looking at me with that 'who invited you' look, watched a brace of Canada Geese make a hash of landing in the creek, got lots of mud on my shoes, and made it back to the house just as the rain began again. I call that a successful walk.

Forecasting.
I've used this recently for a lecture on forecasting (for ' 08).
I think the students were interested.
Sometimes it's hard to tell.
