How to tell temperature in Sacramento | Homo sarcasmus - the official blog of Heath L. Buckmaster

When one wants to know the temperature in Sacramento, one has many places to choose from.

First, a lovely Firefox plugin shows the report from accuweather.com. Note that they share with you the RealFeel(r) temperature as well as the actual recorded temperature - apparently with 7 degrees difference.

If you’re a weather purist, you might choose weather.com for your report.

weather.com prediction for Sept 2In this case…weather.com says it’s 96 and actually feels like 96.

What happened to the 7 degree difference from above?


Finally, for those of you who rebel against the purists of weather, we have the score from weather underground.

weather underground on Sept 2It looks like they are measuring at the same spot as weather.com, just presenting it in a bit different format.

Plus, we don’t know what it REALLY feels like when you go outside; but we do know that the wind is apparently calm, and we can see for miles and miles.

Those things are important when you’re standing in your back yard surrounded by trees.

And thank goodness the clouds are above ground level. I can’t stand underground cloud layers.

So if you really want to know what it feels like today in Sacramento, I present you the thermometer from our back yard.

    Cool firefox plug-in. Will definitely add that to my browser. Crazy temps hitting the west coast right now. Hope you are staying cool!

    Yeah, it puts the temp for today, tomorrow and the next day down in your lower status bar to the right. you can hover over the green circle and get an instant (but small) weather map for your region, showing any precip…. it’s pretty cool and doesn’t seem to take up much in terms of resources.

    Hot. Damn hot. Which is nice if you’re with a lady, but not when you’re in the jungle.
