S.E. Alaska Regional Weather Observation Journals - January, 2019

The first hints of a strawberry moon are visible in Petersburg AK by 2:24 AM,  Wednesday, the 19th of June (2019). The pink light appears to be painted out (like a watercolor or pastel) across the horizon during the sunrise, and is visible through house windows.  48 degrees, precipitation 4%, humidity 93%, wind 0, hi/lo - 58/46, partly cloudy.  A light layer of fog covers the sky, with charcoal and smoke-colored tints at the edges. 

(During the average summer midnight, in Alaska - under clear skies, a viewer will find that the sky is unexpectedly illuminated, with many tones of color, and characteristics in beauty.)  Beneath the dense canopy of Alaskan rainforest, the rain begins a darker fall. I gaze out from under the pines to catch a glimpse of the sky.  The purple glowing hues light the forest scenery through a charcoaled haze of midnight. The rain intensifies within minutes.  The trees seem to notice my presence on the forest floor, as elder spirits, in their awareness, they take notice of the person wandering through the elemental nature...  I soak up the rain and can see that there is a strong charge in the atmosphere, full of life ... Another active darkness, similar to what was described in my observations from April 2019, is present, and smothering... it has a grasp on the volume of the area... a non-aggressive energy, only spiritually gripping....

June, 2019 Monday, June 3rd, 2019 - the conditions and temperature of the local vicinity in Petersburg Alaska are balmy, tepid... the area is filled with a dry and airborne dust, thin, light, dispersed, and hanging on the edges of the elements ... (less dust in the air than previous summers, although, today, June 3rd, 2019  -there was a quality of the most dust packed into dry air, so far, for the season). Conditions are heated, the atmosphere is like that of Arizona’s terrains (plain-like). The settings are measured at the edge of a major Alaskan rainforest. The air flow is slight, “flowy”, and completely dry, edges of particles are sharp, jutting, with many particles in between being the damp life force soaring out from the trees.  At 5:25 the rain begins to fall, in long emotional tears, beautiful and dreary, as if from an immortal queen of the sky, lost in tragedy. As I am looking out through the forest, I can almost see the long tresses, in soaked tangles, fal...

Sunday, June 2nd, 2019 - Monday, June 3rd, 2019  Dispersed overcast for two days, lighter skies could be seen through the clouds, which were lit up by the summer sun. The first notable rain shower (of this season) occurred on Saturday afternoon (1 hour of slightly dense rains fell) and a few rainfalls (taking place for only seconds or moments) in the week before.  The nights have been perfect in temperature for dwelling in the outside world (temperate).  Moonrise: 4:44 am Moonset: 10:01 pm  Moon phase: 0.1% waning crescent 🌙  Current S.E. AK weather (99833): 47 degrees F, 6 % Precipitation, 92%, Humidity 92%, hi/lo - 53/46 Calm, overcast.  Notes: The weeks forecasted (from the first two months of this season) were of diverse patterns, with sun, rain, light overcasts - or dark grey overcasts - becoming the unpredictable, sound turns.  Stretches of bright and sunny (clear) days were followed by a s...
