August

A bunch of acting gigs for Hugh Dillion. All that seems to have figured into this new record that the band is describing as “our music subversive to date.” A ...

Although the group does feature Alex Lifeson of Rush, he’s not keen to be in the spotlight, preferring to be just a regular member of the band. Yeah, the musicianship is top-notch and studio wizardry is cool, but how much longer can Matt keep coming up with songs with dystopian themes? Is it just me or does Matt Bellamy and Muse keep making the same album over and over again? Full disclosure: I was asked to help Envy of None create their EPK back in February as the group was getting ready to release this debut album. The pandemic. Here are some examples of what to expect.

5. Ukraine drone explosion: An explosive device transported by a makeshift drone was detonated at the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, leaving six people injured. But the politician’s office did not mention whether her trip will include a stop in Taiwan, a move that would stoke tensions with Beijing. Scholars call for a federal apology for slavery as Canadians mark Emancipation Day, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi embarks on a trip to Asia and one of Prince Charles’ charities is accused of accepting a donation from relatives of Osama bin Laden. Here's what you need to know today.

Happy August! And, if I may say so myself, Happy Birthday to us!

It was great to stop by the Botanic Building in Balboa Park with Mayor Gloria and see the renovation’s progress. Women’s Equality Day is an opportunity to reflect on the persistence of the suffragettes who marched and advocated, over the course of nearly 100 years, to secure the right to vote. Throughout her life, Fahari truly lived up to the Swahili meaning of her name: magnificent and rare. Despite the increased attacks on our civil rights raging across the country, San Diego Pride was, yet again, a time of joy and celebration. But it’s also important to remember who we are, and who the people we know, and work with, and live by, and love, are and focus on the value of those relationships. Which is why, last month, California’s health leaders requested an increased supply of vaccines to help mitigate the spread of the virus, and are working in close collaboration with federal, state, and local officials to distribute vaccines, conduct tests, and increase awareness. On August 26th, we will celebrate Women’s Equality Day and the adoption of the 19th amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits any state or the federal government from denying a person’s right to vote on the basis of sex. Additional funding will help support the Maritime Museum of San Diego’s redevelopment project, fund wildfire mitigation projects at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and address abandoned and derelict vessels at Zuniga Jetty Shoal near the entrance to San Diego Bay—just to name a few. The California Department of Public Health has a webpage dedicated to monkeypox for those interested in learning more. With many of our rights under attack, it feels as if our communities, friends, and families are drifting farther and farther apart. That means as soon as I’m done safely blowing out the candles, I’ll be part of the final negotiations for important bills on climate; women’s health care and abortion access, including my bill SB 1375; and worker protections, as well as casting votes on bills that will improve our state on behalf of all Californians. This follows some great work in June, when the Legislature passed one of the best state budgets in history, with funding that helps people now, invests in the future, and includes safeguards in the event of an economic downturn. Because Tenia is the youngest and insists that she has never, ever gotten to go first, I’ve asked her to start.

Typical origins and tracks of tropical cyclones in August in the Atlantic Basin. The orange and red contours show where named storms are more likely.

Early-August snow is more unusual but did occur on top of Pikes Peak and Mount Massive in the Colorado Rockies in 2017. The most snow measured there in August was 2.5 inches in 1965. This story does not necessarily represent the position of our parent company, IBM. This translates to afternoon temperatures in the 80s and 90s for most. America's northernmost town – Utqiaġvik, Alaska, formerly known as Barrow – typically sees its first measurable snow, at least 0.1 inches, on Aug. 25, based on the latest 30-year average from 1991 to 2020. This year, there have been three tropical storms through the beginning of August. This effectively opens up more favorable real estate for tropical cyclone development. August Is The Wettest Month In Parts Of The South And Alaska The coolest air is typically found in parts of the higher elevations of the West, where lows drop into the 30s and 40s. - The first snow of the season is possible in parts of the West. August is also the wettest month in much of Alaska. - August is one of the wettest months for parts of the southern tier and Alaska.

Like June and July, August is expected to avoid severe, sustained heat but we anticipate abundant rainfall.

So far this year, temperatures are running slightly ahead of the 30-year normal and in lockstep with last year. On July 1, we very accurately projected near-normal temperatures. Our lowest temperature was 66 degrees on July 11. We observed our hottest weather on July 23 with a high of 96 degrees. Here is the outlook for the second half of the month from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration CFS model, which projects near normal temperatures and above-normal precipitation: The latest simulations from the various weather models (American, European, and Canadian, shown from left to right) support our outlook predicting close to normal temperatures and above normal rainfall for the first half of August:

Most of Canada is expected to see very warm weather in August, punctuated by periods of cooler-than-normal temperatures, The Weather Network projects.

The club was inspired by a long-running fundraiser of the Rotary Club of Loveland Thompson Valley, Colorado, whose sign subscriptions routinely sell out within ...

The playground is such a hit that the club, composed of Kazakhstanis and expatriates, raised funds for a second one in the capital. The Rotary Club of Astana in late 2018 inaugurated its first inclusive playground in a country sorely in need of such opportunities. In late April the club, based in the capital of Lara state, administered nine cleft lip and palate surgeries.
