Not long ago I had a reader request that I show both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures in the sidebar to the right. The plug-ins I use allow one or the other. I decided to put the Weather Pixie back in Celsius and the larger display will be in Fahrenheit. I try to accommodate when [...]

Last night we had one heck of a big rain. Complete with some of the biggest thunder bumpers I have ever heard. It looked like the fourth of July outside.
Every time it would thunder, all of the car’s alarms would go off because of the ground shaking. I had just downloaded a program and was [...]

Maybe you remember the old Kingston Trio song, “They call the wind Maria”. It has some lyrics in it that goes as follows:

This was a bulletin from the National [...]

Along with the rainy season, I change my [...]

If you have looked at the Wild Orchid weather site recently, you noticed it wasn’t working. I received an email tonight that it was back online. Click on the above figure to bring up the weather site. The URL is also in the Chiriquí Chatter Link area.

Something must be wrong with the rain gods. They seem to have forgotten that this is the dry season. If they are waiting for a virgin sacrifice in Panama, it may rain for some time. It rained in Panama City yesterday and it has rained most of today.
It is definitely giving me incentive to finish [...]
