Positive temperature anomaly

The weather's even worse today. Around noon, the sun appeared and I decided that it would be like yesterday - overcast with regular explanations, I went to the pond Peschyaany os to take pictures. But alas, I didn't find a single minute of clear sky, and by 5 o'clock it was so dark that I thought it was going to rain. He went, but did not reach the ground, the dry air absorbed all the drops at a height. Just the smell of rain. The photos turned out to be quite small and the quality is so-so. But some "oski" interesting caught. which I haven't taken a picture of before. For the first time I saw trees with completely dried up leaves that didn't even have time to turn yellow. I thought at first that the fire had passed, but no, the grass under them is intact. In my memory, this is the first such powerful drought. But it is surprising that most of the herbs are blooming and smell as if nothing had happened. Only the hedgehog has faded, which is very sad for photographing wasps.

In the hero city of Donetsk, DPR

Yes, the mega-drought is very cool. Although it was raining on Sunday quite normal, but everything was instantly absorbed, and more and more wasps fly to the spring, including those that were not there in previous years, but there is no katamenes there. And last year it wasn't. And in 2017 and 2018-there was, and every year-only one individual. And this year it would have arrived without delay, but apparently the local population of Katamenes, whose nest I found this year, did not survive, lives in a different place, apparently, it flies to another spring.

It was +23 today, overcast.
Tomorrow cold weather, rain. And that's it. The good weather is ending.
The drought even reached us this year. So nice, clean, dry! True, in the city of linden trees, the foliage was no longer yellow as usual after the first frost, but dried green. But it's in the city. He's all right.

And today we have only +23 at the maximum. And before dawn, it was +12 At all, despite the fact that yesterday at the same time +22! A very sharp cold snap, and even against the background of the strongest wind.

Shob we're so cold!)
And so that in the morning +12, and not +5 in the morning and +25 in the afternoon.
The wind is bad, of course. Otherwise, it's self-marking autumn weather.
We still have everything green, it's practically summer.
But Tettigonia looked like she was going to die. Very sorry. It's so strangely quiet without him singing.

I started to worry about Pan meganaturalizd: did they throw "Novichok" in his underpants?

Meanwhile, our drought has reached the stage of PPC. If earlier you could stick your hand through the cracks in the ground, now you can stick your foot through them. I'm even afraid to walk. And on top of it, a layer of dust a few centimeters deep - expanse for the larvae of ant lions. But the saddest thing is that the place of power began to run out Wasps are no longer concentrated in a convenient point for shooting, but dispersed along the stream. So I go to other places now, mostly to zhabritsa tortuous. Most nectarophages concentrate on it, but only in the first half of the day, in the second, apparently, the nectar runs out. By some miracle, in one place there were three not completely faded blueheads, there are also interesting oskis sometimes found there.

Yesterday I took a shortcut through a field and made an unexpected discovery: ragweed grows only in a 20-meter strip along the edge, in the middle it does not exist at all. That's what life-giving demutation does! God forbid, in a few years the whole thing will disappear.

Let anything get into the cracks of the earth, just so it doesn't rain!
It rained all day yesterday. +8. It is very dark even during the day. The leaves on the trees began to turn yellow and fly off.

It's raining for the second day

Our leaves are crooked, not turning yellow, on svidina, privet, ash, tree-like caragana, raspberry, in general, on everything that grows in the forest, except oak. The shrub caragana is all overflown.

Alex017, are cantanzes still playing in your area right now?
I heard several males singing in different places today, and I took a picture of one of them.



I also found a small furry caterpillar.

It was cold and rainy for a week, I didn't hear it. Soon they promise a little warmth, but still chirp. They are still active in October, when it is warm.

We have significantly cooled down: at night +8, in the afternoon - up to +18. True, the sun is still hot in the calm around noon, but just go into the shade, and the breeze will blow-brrrrr. There are few insects. But the forecast is warming soon, so we still have to fly. But it's still not raining, even if it was one cloudy day. And they are not expected. The drought is breaking all records. There is still some kind of flowering, but there is almost no nectar release.

By the way, there are a lot of furry caterpillars crawling on concrete fences and walls, they are crawling to pupate, they are preparing for the next spring.
On Sunday, a little to the north of us, it was snowing so much that the horizon was not visible. 15-20km from us.
We did not go below zero. Which is just incredible!
The drought was over, and the rain was falling.
Heat is promised up to 17-18 degrees. So, +8 in the morning and +18 in the afternoon are actually our common Ural-Perm dream! Remember this and enjoy the beautiful weather!
Strawberries are fully ripe. Both in the greenhouse and on the street. Remontant raspberries ripen. Blackthorn ripened, jam was cooked. The taste is all sour. Except that strawberries taste better in the greenhouse.
In the afternoon, there was a strong wind on the street until the middle of the day and +5, then it warmed up to +8. Cloudy weather with no precipitation. By the evening (19-20h) it was so quiet that even mosquitoes attacked at +5.

Today it is already +16 - we are going down. The strawberry leaves have long since dried up and crumbled to dust, the raspberries are ready. In some places there is still cherry plum. The crowns of trees that did not have time to dry green began to turn yellow. The nectar remains only in the microscopic flowers of knotweed, on which all sorts of wasps and flies flock to the road.

It looks like the trees started turning yellow at the same time.
Raspberries are all green, strawberries-too.
+9. It's wet and pouring.
Mosquitoes fly from insects.

And we have mosquitoes left only in our homes. In general, only woodlice at the spring come across from bloodsuckers in the steppe. Although the vole managed to find ticks somewhere in the bowels of the earth:

It warmed up to +20 in the afternoon (although the forecast promised a whole +27), you can again walk in the sun in summer clothes. I visited a spring that was already half-dried up. I was afraid. that it was completely dry. But no, it continues to ooze a little at the same level as a week ago. Eumeninus departed, Vespinus arrived. including male vespulae and hornets. Polistov and flies remained the same. When I was photographing small things with a large-scale lens, a male green grasshopper suddenly got out from under a rock overhanging the spring and tried to tamp it into the frame.




[attachmentid()=324876]

It was sunny, cloudless, windy and cold, +12.
Complete silence, everyone is silent.
If it was +20 today, it will probably warm up to +30 tomorrow.
We will also be slightly warmer tomorrow

Well, here is the first frost on the morning of September 25th.
Depending on the area, it was from -3 to +1.
Many flowers are dead, zucchini, pumpkins, cucumbers, tomatoes in the exhaust gas. The trees instantly turned yellow and flew.

I found two cantans today.

  
If it was +20 today, it will probably warm up to +30 tomorrow.

You didn't guess right. Today it was only +22, against the background of the strongest dust storms, and this. it was obviously the last warm day. We're finally expecting rain tomorrow.

Yes, it's not me who didn't guess, but you are fastidious!)
Yesterday we had +20 in the afternoon, in the morning about zero.
Sunny and dry. It's so beautiful when it's not raining!
However, the weather is very uncomfortable. You leave the house in a jacket with a sweater, in the afternoon it's hot for one T-shirt, and in the evening it's cold again.
Cantanzes are alive and timidly sung in places, but not for long, the temperature drops too sharply in the evening

This week it was also dry and sunny, +20 in the afternoon.
Verrucivorus was chirping in the field today. Caught him and 2 females.

Last night it did rain, but very little, by morning almost everything was dry, and by evening-absolutely everything. The forest smells strongly of autumn. I used to associate this specific aroma with mushrooms destroying fallen leaves, but they barely managed to grow in half a day. So, apparently, it is the fallen leaves themselves that smell like this after drying and drying. A gale-force wind has started blowing again, but now the dust is no longer blowing. But it drives insects. so, despite a very plentiful nectar release (fingers stick!) there were a lot fewer of them on the flowers of the stallion and gorichnik than I expected.

It's already October 1, and the weather is warm and sunny. It hasn't rained this week.
Verrucivores were chirping in the field around noon today.

And we have overcast weather, rain and wind-they give out arrears for two months, however, the amount of precipitation is small, and the wind is very strong - everything dries up quickly. No higher than +19 at the maximum, at a minimum of +13, and it feels like +3 due to the wind, no significant insect activity is out of the question in such conditions. Which day I can't even catch prussians to feed the praying mantises.

ENO, did you keep the rack this summer?

This one doesn't, although I've seen it in nature. I don't see the point in keeping them if I don't know how to breed them.

It is interesting that in our country, despite the heat during the day at the peak to +18 and without wind, by the way, the last day was today, in the evening it gets cold quickly and in the morning (+2 today) it is cold for a long time until 11 am, then it gets warmer sharply, and at 18 it also gets colder sharply. Where do these jumps come from? There is no such thing in summer.
The grasshoppers were not heard at all, only once they sang loudly in their voices. The silence is complete. Very quiet.
How cool, when there are dybki and mantises and blacksmiths of different interesting. This is where we need to breed the same mantises, because you can't get them anywhere for the next year, and when you can catch them, everything is easier.

Such jumps depend on the reduced length of the day. During a short summer night, the ground and air above it do not have time to cool down much. In addition, they warm up faster in the morning due to the greater height of the sun.

Yes, it's true, I agree, but.
Something else plays a role.
Take the same greenhouse. Only the spring sun will come out for 5min, and it's hot in it, you have to undress. The street is full of snow. And here the sun shines all day and there is no wild overheating, even in the barrel the water is cool. And this is when the doors and vents are completely closed.
Well, then. The sun set. Not even the village, and the edge is still visible, immediately blowing cold. In summer, the sun has set and the cold does not blow.

So in the greenhouse there is a greenhouse effect And when the sun has set, you should not forget that it has set a little earlier to the east, the air has already cooled there, and begins to flow to you.

Probably so.
Yes, there is a greenhouse effect, of course, you can fry in the summer.
I shouldn't have worried. This afternoon I went to the greenhouse at one o'clock in the afternoon-steam room, and on the street +10. Everything is OK. It was me who came in at 6 o'clock in the evening and it wasn't hot there on working days. But the sun was still at 17.15. I first removed all the big waves of polycarbonate, and then I began to worry. Grapes planted, suddenly freeze.

I wonder how much longer these grasshoppers will live in the fields. The weather for the week is expected to be warm, up to +18, but rainy.

The last time I heard about decticus was in early September.
Probably live if +18 (awesome!) These blacksmiths are lucky enough as it is: October, and they're still alive.
We have +13 promised by Saturday.
And today it was -5 in the morning. And the cold lasted until noon. Tomatoes twitched in the greenhouse. Their season in our area is over after today. The leaves on grapes and mulberries (in a polycarbonate greenhouse) were pulled, and on mulberry street for two or three weeks without leaves. Cherries, peaches, strawberries, blackberries, parsley, celery (leaf and root) did not pull. What I was surprised and happy about was that the root celery survived, the test score grew very much, no worse than the imported one.
On the street, everything is flying hard, almost all the trees are bare

It's still warm here, especially recently.Compared to last year, it was warm at the beginning of October(last year there were slight frosts at the beginning of October).
Now we have +26.I can't upload new photos because the flash drive from the camera is not displayed anywhere.

It's still warm here

You are always warm!

It's cold here, especially at night. And windy.

Ischo adin. They are cold. Come to us in Perm, gentlemen! After living here, you will return to the old place of life and every day will be beautiful for you (weather)

Alex, I remember you wrote that you don't live in Perm

Visited the spring. It's boring there: a few vesulas, one sceliphron, a couple of Eumenes coarctatus, and surprisingly many male Polistes gallicus. But the latter is by no means a reason for joy: they usually pile up in such places by frost. There are no female polistovs - they all lay down for the winter. Unlike last year, except for skates, no one strides anymore. Prusov became much less than last week: either they died out, or they climb out now only in the first half of the day. The day is very much gone: at 2 o'clock, the approach of the evening is already noticeable. Large flocks of rooks have flown in from the north to spend the winter, cawing as they fly by in the morning and evening. In the forest, the entire ground is covered with a layer of acorns - such a powerful harvest of oaks in my memory has never been. However, all in vain: with such dryness, acorns will die very quickly, without giving seedlings. Walnuts also ripened, which is noticeable by the huge number of drunks rummaging under the trees.

Resel's jump sang today at 12 o'clock in the field. I still saw a few skates. Verrucivorus is no longer there.

I wonder where I live.
The city of Perm itself stretches for 30 km along the Kama River.
I live very close to Perm. The weather forecast matches.
We have warmed up to +12. Dull. It's windy. It is rainy. I can't hear anyone. Even people. Many mosquitoes fly. Some animal was burying acorns in my garden beds. I've already found three of them.
I bought eremurusov. Maybe they won't freeze out. I put one in the refrigerator just in case.
