A high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape on  the orange line) is over the Pacific Northwest continuing the sunshine and warm temperatures. A cold front will drop down and move through by Tuesday bringing some clouds and cooling the temperatures a bit. It will start to warm back up again as the Eugene Celebration starts next Friday through the weekend.

Sorry, but no winner for this week’s weather quiz question.

_______________

Here is the question for the last time. There is a way of determining local wind speeds without the use of any meteorological instruments. What is it called and who devised it? Now the answer. The scale was created in 1805 by Sir Francis Beaufort, an Irish-born Royal Navy Officer, while serving on the HMS Woolrich. The scale that carries Beaufort’s name had a long and complex evolution, from the previous work of others, including Daniel Defoe the century before, to when Beaufort was a top administrator in the Royal Navy in the 1830s when it was adopted officially and first used during Darwin’s voyage on HMS Beagle. In the early 19th Century, naval officers made regular weather observations, but there was no standard scale and so they could be very subjective – one man’s “stiff breeze” might be another’s “soft breeze”. Beaufort succeeded in standardizing the scale. The initial scale of thirteen classes (zero to twelve) did not reference wind speed numbers but related qualitative wind conditions to effects on the sails of a man-of-war, then the main ship of the Royal Navy, from “just sufficient to give steerage” to “that which no canvas sails could withstand.” At zero, all his sails would be up; at six, half of his sails would have been taken down; and at twelve, all sails would be stowed away. I’ll have a new weather quiz question for you starting next Monday. Please remember to post your answer as a comment by clicking on “no comments /comments” in the upper right hand portion of this page under the caption, then add your comment. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized  weather forecasts tailored to your needs. The answer has to be a comment to win. An email answer will not count.

A high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape on  the orange line) is sliding over the Pacific Northwest bringing with it lots of sunshine and warmer temperatures.  The weather will be great for the rest of the Lane County Fair that runs through today.

It will warm back up again then start to cool down a bit as the Eugene Celebration starts next Friday.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question. There is a way of determining local wind speeds without the use of any meteorological instruments. What is it called and who devised it? Please remember to post your answer as a comment by clicking on “no comments /comments” in the upper right hand portion of this page under the caption, then add your comment. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized  weather forecasts tailored to your needs. The answer has to be a comment to win. An email answer will not count. Good luck.
