New Mexico monsoon has ended.

CNN: In a new era of climate disaster, a tiny, resilient mountain village in New Mexico is teaching the world how to adapt

(subscriber only, but it's readable in Firefox "reader mode"). TLDR: they have no choice, they just keep on going on (IMHO).

From the article:

" Ruidoso is not an outlier. Across the US, fires and floods are now common in regions that used to rarely face them. Climate-fueled catastrophes that were once anomalies – deadly wildfires in the Northeast, historic urban flooding in the Southwest – are rapidly reshaping the fabric of American life.

Such flip-flopping between weather extremes could happen more often as the world warms due to fossil fuel pollution, climate experts say. Rainfall events are also intensifying; nearly 90% of US cities experienced an increase in hourly rainfall rates since 1970, according to a 2024 analysis from Climate Central. "

Sierra Blanca peak is hidden by many small cumulus clouds, but it's flanks are still visible 25 miles away.

It's monsoon season in southern New Mexico. In a few hours we will have thunderstorms dumping rain and causing flash flooding in places like Ruidoso.

#NewMexico #NMwx #Monsoon #Photography #Monochrome #Infrared #Flood #FlashFlood #Ruidoso

This is a monochrome, near infrared image. This makes the conifers look very bright, almost snow-covered, and the blue sky looks very dark, almost black.

Small puffy clouds in the middle of the frame hide a peak, but below them the flanks of the peak are clearly visible with shadow detail highlighting the terrain.

Some of the distant sky is covered with high cirrus.

A few nearby conifers bracket the sides of the frame.
