FLY BY - Ode to NOAA-18 I watched and I waited as you were set to fly by A perfect night for reception, as we had a clear sky As you grew near, there wasn't a peep all of your speaking instruments were all fast asleep You are right over head! But the static remains I messed with the volumes, I messed with the gains I watched on my tracker as you slowly flew by my S-meter grounded, the waterfall was dry We bid you farewell, oh watcher of the sky and I will always remember you, as you silently fly by

2 Extra Images are NOAA 19 Encoded with map overlay and my Personal Weather Station Data. A big SHOUT OUT to open-weather.community (Sasha & Co.) for bringing this to life and allowing us amateur radio/satellite/weather enthusiasts to have a place to share our work. Another Shout out to NOAA-15, NOAA-18 and NOAA-19 for years of relentless service. I don't know your fate, but I hope its as deserving as the service you have provided over the years. We will miss your shadows and echoes, but you will always be remembered in the annals of communities such as this. Fly high and free.

CAST, Helston, Cornwall, United Kingdom

The soil at Goonown Growers is a clay loam so the limited rain over the past month has turned the top layer into a solid crust which cracks. This makes it hard to harvest crops like these leeks without damaging the base, but also cultivate the soil using the hand tools we rely on. We have reprioritised setting up irrigation systems as a result of this dry spring to ensure crop are well watered going into summer, reducing the likelihood of crops going to seed earlier or low yields due to plant stress.

Steve Engelmann

Santa Monica, United States

I went to the top of a parking garage in downtown Santa Monica in the hopes of having a clear view of the sky. I didn't get as clear of an image as I hoped for. Perhaps some interference from the surrounding buildings, etc. Today was the first meaningful rain event for almost 9 months. This has been the driest start of the rain season since records began in 1877. Not a surprise when 3 weeks ago dry winds conspired in the development of six fires burning simultaneously around Los Angeles. 28 lives were lost and over 16 thousand homes destroyed. The human fingerprint is all over this event from the initial ignition, the preparation and response from the fire department, housing development within a flammable ecosystem, and ultimately, the climate crisis. A lot of finger pointing from the new president to the individual. Will there be any meaningful change? This will happen again.
