Climate & Weather Information

I pulled these three images from the NOAA's website: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/past-weather/Olympia,%20WA

These findings were for the Olympic Forest which is the closest recorded climate and weather information this website had to the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. The first photo shows location, the Olympic Forest is the light blue dot, and Nisqually is just to the right of it. The second photo is temperature data from 1952 and the third photo shows the climatologic data for May 2024 in that area. You'll see we had one day colder than normal coming in at 31 degrees F. Then two higher than average, hot days coming in at 88 degrees F. The data isn't out for June since we aren't' done for the month but I know we will have some record hot days again showing up. This correlates with our reservoirs of water supply being heavily impacted that flows down from our mountains such as Mount Rainer into the Nisqually River and Puget Sound. On April 16, 2024, Washington issued a statewide drought declaration. Certain areas were impacted more than others; i.e. Seattle, Tacoma, and Everett didn't have limitations. Unlike Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater (basically the Thurston County area where my place of study resides.

Time and Date is where I found this average for the Nisqually, WA area from 1992-20221. Climate & Weather Averages in Nisqually, Washington, USA (timeanddate.com)

It provides the averages but not necessarily what dates belong to what temperatures. It did, however, provide a comprehensive overview of our hottest yearly months. So, if you want to know trends this website could be useful.

Biodiversity and Its Importance

My defintion:Biodiversity in a sustainable sense is about maintaining the richness of life on Earth in a way that ensures ecological health and human well-being for the long term. It is vital for the stability of ecosystems, the services they provide, and the cultural and economic benefits they offer us. Personally, it means valuing and taking action to protect the natural world, while recognizing its profound impact on my life and future generations. Ways I can take action: I can contribute to the biodiversity conservation through local conservation projects, teaching my kids about supportive vegetation while replacing our grass lawn into local clover and planting local vegetation for local wildlife, I can support local organizations working to protect natural habitats, advocaat for policy change and volunteer where it promotes sustainability and the environment. I feel I learned extensively about these topics upon the many readings throughout this degree and for leisure and mor...
