Hats off to California. Nice job!
ARCTIC #AURORAS: Around the Arctic Circle, many #aurora tour guides have already packed their cameras for the end of the season. Marianne Bergli of Tromsø, Norway, is glad she waited one more night. "Auroras filled the sky on April 4th," she reports. "It was a fantastic end to our touring season."
A #solar #wind stream brushed Earth's magnetic field on April 4th. It did not cause a global geomagnetic storm; the planetary K-index peaked at 4. Nevertheless, the Arctic light show was sublime.
Soon, summer sunlight will make these displays impossible to see inside the Arctic Circle. That's why Bergli and others are going on vacation. "We start again in September," she says

#Connie-Stevens - #Wild is the #Wind
#Cycling in #StormIsha was fun. To work, there was a very strong #Headwind which added about 25% to the time getting there, at least the sky was blue. By the time I’d finished, the #wind had died down to a brisk #Breeze but there was quite heavy #rain. However, I always have my #WaterproofTrousers at this time of year and so I didn’t get wet.
I used the anonymous interface to #ChatGPT to write a #Haiku for the occasion (https://anonchatgpt.com/). Here it is:
Storm Isha roars strong,
Cyclists brave the wind and rain,
Pedals spin through pain.
JERA, the largest power generation company in Japan, said the 112-MW Ishikari Bay New Port offshore wind farm has entered commercial operation. The utility, along with Green Power Investment Corp. […]

"The #Wind #Blows #Wild " - #Kate-Wolf
Arbeitsreiche Woche für nichts. Das #Orkantief hat dafür gesorgt, dass wir das Weihnachtssingen im #Ostseestadion aus Sicherheitsgründen absagen mussten. Glücklicherweise hatte ich die Kletterei in der #Bühne hinter mich gebracht bevor da #Wind seinen Peak erreichte, war aber an den Masten deutlich zu spüren, wie er immer mehr zunahm.
At the time of writing this post, 55.3% is being generated by #Wind and only 8.1% by #Gas. Demand is moderately low at 30.2 GW.
It has been #windy all day with a strong north-westerly #wind gusting here to 80 km/h. On my usual #cycling circuit, there is about a 3 km stretch which is basically north-south and today I was travelling north on it. It was quite tough with me in the toughest parts travelling maybe 3 to 4 gears lower than usual and in parts feeling like I'd basically halted. On plus side, it was good exercise and of course in other parts the wind was behind me, making things very easy.
Another positive of the #weather is that half of the country's electricity has been being generated by wind power all day.
