On The Cusp

It appears that Sacramento has indeed set a May rainfall record, at least downtown. (Apparently they announced it on the radio yesterday. I wanted to blog about it earlier, but the numbers still seem unusually squirrelly.) 3.28 in. have fallen at the downtown station, beating the 1889 record of 3.25 in.

Nevertheless, the record isn't broken entirely in the Sacramento area. 3.06 in. have fallen at Sacramento Executive Airport, a bit behind the 1948 record of 3.13 in.

So, it may be more correct to state that we are on the cusp of breaking the May rainfall record in the Sacramento area. We just need a touch more.

With 12 days left in the month and at least a little more rain in this week’s forecast, downtown Sacramento has already broken a 130-year-old record for May rainfall.

As of Sunday’s downpour, downtown has received 3.28 inches of rain this month, National Weather Service reports. The previous record of 3.25 inches was set in 1889.

Sunday also blew past daily rainfall records - totals of 0.84 inches downtown and 0.86 inches at Sacramento Executive Airport well surpassed totals of 0.46 and 0.54 inches, respectively, which had both been recorded in 1948.

Rainy May

Rainy May continues in Sacramento! Current May rainfall of 2.14 in. at Sacramento Executive Airport (record starting in 1948) makes 2019 the third rainiest May on record so far (1948 is the record - 3.13 in. - and 1998 is second).

Regarding the station with the longest rainfall record in Sacramento (Sacramento 5 ESE, with a record starting in 1878), 2.38 in. of rain so far makes 2019 tied for eighth rainiest May on record (1889 is the record - 3.25 in. - with 1883, 1892, 1900, 1905, 1915, 1948, 1990, and 1998 also having rainier Mays than 2019 so far).

If we get another inch of rain this month, we'll blow through the records, but we aren't quite there yet.

Ice XVIII

Very interesting article about Ice 18 - black and hot!:

The findings, published this week in Nature, confirm the existence of “superionic ice,” a new phase of water with bizarre properties. Unlike the familiar ice found in your freezer or at the north pole, superionic ice is black and hot. A cube of it would weigh four times as much as a normal one. It was first theoretically predicted more than 30 years ago, and although it has never been seen until now, scientists think it might be among the most abundant forms of water in the universe.

Across the solar system, at least, more water probably exists as superionic ice—filling the interiors of Uranus and Neptune—than in any other phase, including the liquid form sloshing in oceans on Earth, Europa and Enceladus. The discovery of superionic ice potentially solves decades-old puzzles about the composition of these “ice giant” worlds.
