A bit of hot and dry for the last few days. Had a hardware problem with the system that missed some lightning during the rain days. Fixed the issue, now it’s primed to catch the next storms.
Tucson Monsoon Weather – RAIN 8/11/18
Finally have data that reflects a decent rain event. The humidity intersects the temperature for the first time and the pressure is slightly elevated. This is one of the first medium rain events captured on this system. Pretty interesting.
Tucson Monsoon Weather – 8/9/18
Had much cooler weather yesterday with humidity and pressure up-trend. This coincided with lightning storms in the evening… some passed right over the house.
Tucson Monsoon Weather 8/6/18
Storms have abated and the humidity has fallen significantly. Slight downtrend on pressure and uptick in temperature. No hope for clouds and storms today, it appears.
Tucson Monsoon Weather – 8/4/2018
Here’s a 2 week view that captures the storms over the last few days as well as the intense heat wave from the start of the 2 week period. The swing between high and low temperature has flattened out due to the average humidity still being in the 20-30% range, even when the temperature is peaking up over 100.
Very interesting to note the difference in the humidity peaks (less pointed, a few dips at the top) when the storms are in place. Not sure if this is sampling the latent presence of clouds?
Tucson Monsoon Weather – Takes a break on 7/23/18
On the 23rd we see the humidity going away quickly and the temperature rising. Combined with falling barometer, we expect little chance of lightning!
Baseball Data for Machine Learning
Here’s a dataset that I use to predict player performance for fantasy baseball. If you’re interested enough, here’s a CoLaboratory program that does the work (you’ll probably need a Google sign-in, but the notebook is public). The data linked above has already been processed to calculate relative value of the player using SGP. This is a topic that I’ll probably spend some time discussing in the future.
Tucson Monsoon Weather – July 21, 2018
Here are results of last night’s storm. A little bit of lightning at the house, but nothing like the power of the one a few weeks ago.
Tucson Monsoon Weather – 6/17/18
Updates. Lots of rain and lightning around Tucson yesterday, but only a small bit picked up at this location.
Tucson Monsoon Weather as of 14July18
Had another round lf lightning in Tucson, but most of it was more than 20km away. Humidity is dropping a bit, and so temperature moving back up.
