The temperature of the water around ningaloo reef has increased but the reef has not suffered bleaching

I think Phage is just offering assumption as fact on this one

Haboob's..... I got a black widow spider bite on my big toe as I slept through one of those dust storms in Phoenix back in April 1997... the critter blew down one of those ceiling vents that was the norm out in AZ...

but that was 20 years ago - thanks for the refresher course of the desert weather which is way different than this humidity of coastal S Carolina


love that dry heat out there, but sadly I'll not get back there anytime soon




I wonder why the powder coat signs don't hold up well....in any type of climate
and for that matter, my '65 Econoline Ford Van now has weather damage since it left the desert in 1998 (it might be 4-sale)

Yeah, its really hot and sunny in the AZ desert. Nothing has changed over the years except maybe that paint is less toxic and more prone to bleaching.

And UV light isn't suspected as a cause of coral bleaching.

2nd post, by Oldtimer, I lived in Ahwatukee for a year back in college, worked at the Macaroni Grill at I-10 & Ray Rd. Was horribly disappointed in the Macaroni Grill back home (Chicago burbs) when I returned in comparison. Food was amaaazing.

... And my rearview mirror glue boiled off in the parking lot one day because i forgot to keep my windows cracked open lol.
