What does summer feel like where you live? Hot or cool? Rainy or dry? For the #30daymapchallenge Day 25 prompt "Hexagons", I mapped summer climates across North America. I averaged the 1991-2020 climate normals for mean summer temperature and total summer precipitation within 50,000 square kilometer hexagons using data from ClimateNA.

If, like me, you enjoy looking at maps but are not well up in cartography, you will find the Royal Geographical Society's "Theatre of the World" an enjoyable and instructive guide to the history of the printed atlas.

As I was cleaning up my GitHub repos and migrating what I can to Codeberg, I ran across this long forgotten gem - a colleciton of U.S. state information - flags, photos, seals, twitter and facebook accounts, all kinds of things.
Sadly it was abandoned 8 years ago, but much of the content is still relevant. I keep hoping it will get picked up again by someone - hint hint.
Time for an #introduction 👋

huh. TIL: there is a “four corners” place in Canada, like there is more famously in the USA, where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet.
But ours is automatically cooler, figuratively and literally*, because it is a: at 60° Latitude, and b: involves two Territories and two Provinces.
It is where the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba meet.
It is also a LOT harder to get to. Though arguably, as it is amongst the thousands of lakes in the area, during the summer, a float plane would get you there.
Also, technically. It is not a perfect “joining” on the map which is just bad planning on Canada’s part, but at least it is hiking distance. Or that might be just a projection issue. They seem to converge at 60N 102W. I guess I could consult an official boundary document or something :)

Edit: Google Maps has a photo! Added here… of the four cornered boundary monument!
