A few more links are working. If you're having issues, I would say copy the link address and paste it into your browser. But, that has failed me a couple times. I'll likely go and fix a few more links before I call it a night.

As you may recall, I've been tracking temperatures for the region I've bought a home in. It only goes back thirty years or so, but there are some interesting outputs from that short amount of time.

Probably the most interesting is the apparent change in when the seasons change. The spring is cooler and the fall is warmer. April is getting warmer, but May cooler. September and October warmer, January and February colder. Seems.

One thing I have done is overlay the day-by-day temperatures from the first part of my dataset with the numbers from the most recent year. I have a mid-year in there as well.

Trendlines help reduce the squiggles into a nice arc. If I only compare first and last, that's exactly what the trendline says. It's staying warmer longer into fall and colder into spring. The middle year makes it more difficult. It shows the trend was worse at that time, and the most recent year shows a lessening amount of warming later into fall. I would have to add more datasets into that graph to tell the whole story. Maybe sometime later.

But, it does talk to one point. Human memory of what's happened in the past is extremely weak. Especially when it comes to weather. For example, I've been hearing people talk about the unusually high temperatures we're seeing this October. Guess what, there are four or five of these spikes in thirty years. Not traditional, but certainly within the ability of human memory to recall. But, the human brain doesn't.

The question then turns to why. Same as the why for the brain not really knowing what all the bits and pieces its body is supposed to be doing and if they aren't doing something correctly. If your body is malfunctioning, your brain should be able to sense it. But it can't.

Tomorrow is a new day. It's more than an expression. It's the reset built into your brain.
