To the seasons of life
The weather in Merritt is quite good.
The photo is of a KLL Construction truck turning right onto Voght with rock for construction on Voght going up the hill to Highway 5 off Blackwell avenue.
The Company has recently completed a second drive through lane at MacDonalds off Voght adjacent to to Belshaw avenue going to highways 5 and 5A leaving Merritt to the north and east.
Construction is on with traffic controls near the RCMP station short delays have been the norm.
The days will gradually shorten now I untill Thursday December 21st where the daylight will be a full 8 hrs 4 minutes shorter then the June solstice.
Some cats are more fortunate than others.
A deer and a man only hundreds of yards apart around the bend of the river, both trying to find some rest from heat 🤕 on the Nicola in Merritt on Sunday…
Merritt got rain Tuesday much improving many creatures outlook.
A deer rests from some stress beside a river, on hard rocks, with some plastic at its rear. A velvet antlered two point takes the bush behind. Fall is coming. We may have made it with wild fires but what next.
The source of the elements make up the chemistry that gives you life.
El Niño is a weather phenomenon that occurs every few years in the tropical Pacific Ocean. It refers to the warming of the ocean surface, which leads to changes in atmospheric circulation and weather patterns worldwide. During El Niño events, we often see increased rainfall in some parts of the world and drought in others. This phenomenon can have significant impacts on global weather patterns, influencing temperature, precipitation, and storm activity. It is an essential component of the complex climate system, and monitoring El Niño is crucial for understanding and predicting weather patterns on a regional and global scale. Source IN generated Ai.
Weather systems have been affected by the El Nino/La Nina effects for perhaps thousands of years in the sense of humanity living at its consequences.
Flooding occurred in British Columbia that severely damaged infrastructure, crops, cattle, chickens, and caused a long-term evacuation of numbers of people something not used to by the people British Columbia.
We have seen the effects of barriers coming from the windward side, moist air from the Pacific Ocean and transferred into the clouds dumping huge amounts of rain in very short order just before the lee side of a barrier.
Temperature differences are sometimes mitigated by the drag effect of the currents that were created by El Nino as they continue colder water comes up from below surface to close to surface after the effect of the warm water going into the clouds is accomplished.
In particular British Columbia then can have some fairly good size pools of cold water in the Pacific this affecting our shores. Yes the increase in temperature globally including the amount of warm surface water coming out of the tropics is powerful and it doesn’t take rocket science, but more and better observation, to mitigate the effects of warm/cold water as it moves about.
Good luck and thank you Noah and:
CBC news interview with David Suzuki
The city of Merritt has received two new buses according to sources.
Merritt BC Canada, considered to be a hub of the Coquihalla highway system.
Environment Canada says that there are no alerts in effect at this hour. Mondays high temperature is forecast for 34°C. Dropping to 24 c Tuesday, with a 60% chance of showers.
The Ultra Violet index will be 8 or high. Take care.
The USA government organization Noah provides this online interactive display of the forecast of geomagnetic storms, these storms produce the effect that we know as aurora borealis. The storms are classified as space weather that are driven by storms on the Sun that sends particles over the poles of the Earth and affect our normal weather here on our Planet.

Local office…
Where we live and are able to function is often the result of time and it’s effect with weather systems that have secured an ecosystem for us. However too much human activity is often a basis of difficulties in the ecosystems whether that’s animals or great boreal forests.
This dynamic can be mitigated by general attitudes of local concern for ecosystems including forests boreal, rain or coastal whatever is in your power to do something is everything.
Most places like us have a local forestry office,they have information for the public, this with other medias and mediums is a prudent consult whenever dealing with our forest or ecology.
The Bus Depo and truck stop had working hydrogen fuel up untill the emergency situation riddled the province in recent years.
A filling station formerly in truck stop north end of Merritt.
Hydrogen worked with a lot of applications including, “Ballard fuel cells”
Hydrogen Stations in canada in April 2023
The promos around hydrogen replacement are often centered on the fact that burning the element mate of water makes only clean water. The facts are hydrogen is a very volatile flammable gas. Way up there from propane and courser gases.
BC Transit operates a seven day a week Transit service. These bus vehicles rum on gasoline and never took advantage of either the hydrogen station above nor electric opportunities in the past few years. Yes the city is small however opportunities for research and development are a parent in a controlled environment.
The adaptability of the city of Merritt is demonstrated by the relationship of the TMX project hydrogen, electric and it’s clean energy 44 mega watt plant in city limits. Although hydrogen filling is not available here now the people who were cooperative and enduring are. As demonstrated by the words of a patron in the link on the bus photo.
Hey Merit what do you say?
