We're supposed to be getting the remains of tropical cyclone 1, but so far, we've had next to nothing. Normally I'd curl up in bed, be watching something on t.v. and eating with my cat. But I am seriously considering leaving now...

Hot Topics from the Tropics -
I just now finished reading @Hatley 's post about the wisdom (or the lack of it) in using someone else's topic to form up a posting of your own.

A sunny day really does the soul good. No wonder, life cannot survive without it. Even though it is bitterly cold outside, I feel as though I am in the tropics as I watch the sun's rays cast shadows on the snowy mounds outside. I...

I have this hibiscus plant that delights me with a flower a day. I have had it for several years and enjoy the indoor flower blooms in winter. I watch as the buds start to open up and eventually this large peach flower comes out....

I wish I were living in a temperate country where there are four seasons.
Over here at the tropics the weather (climate) is always the same and boring.
Every day year in year out we have the same old hot humid weather with...

My wife told me a while ago that deodorants cause breast cancer according to her fellow health workers. I asked her what is in antiperspirants/deodorants that causes cancer. She got no idea; so I decided to find out in the...

All week long, the Weather Channel, the National Hurricane Center, and other weather "experts" (and I do use the term loosely) have preached to us Floridians that the hurricane track of Matthew was going to keep the storm well...

I am watching the Weather Channel right now; and there are actually 7 different disturbances going on in the tropics, right now. One of them is brewing in the gulf. I wonder which way it is going to head?
This is crazy... I...

I made it back home to Gainesville from my week-long conference in Orlando just as the first outer bands of Hurricane Hermine started hitting the area! Thankfully, I was able to unload all of my luggage and bags before the...

Tropical Depression Nine, which over the past week had been referred to as "Invest 99L," continues to baffle meteorologists and forecasters about whether or not it will become a named tropical system.
Day by day over the last 10...

The tropics are red hot this week.
The National Hurricane Center is now tracking three storms headed in the general direction of Florida. It is hard to know what is going where. The tracking models look like spaghetti.

Although dealing with a deluge of rain yesterday was not fun to say the least, the good news is that our area survived Tropical Storm Colin with only minor flooding and wind damage. But even more important than that, Colin also...

Florida has been in a hurricane "drought" for more than a decade, an unprecedented amount of time without getting hit by a hurricane or tropical storm. That all ends today, with the forecast track of Tropical Storm Colin bringing...

The Egret was standing so still I almost missed him. There were others watching this Egret looking for lunch.. We were all holding our breath, being so quiet and not moving, hoping we would see the Egret be successful.

I love to visit tropical islands in the world. I find being on the white sandy beach really relaxing and enjoyable. I adore snorkeling around a coral reef. When it is cold, windy and wet day in my home country I dream of visiting...
