Hearted Youtube comments on Casual Earth (@casualearth-dandavis) channel.

  1. @Casual Earth - Superb job. This is a very interesting topic. I like the way your voice sounds and how the information is presented. I grew up just north of the 41st line of latitude not too far from the Atlantic Ocean. I also lived in Argentina and always wondered why Patagonia did not receive its own version of our winter Nor’easters. Question answered!

  2. Great video. From Kenya and always wondered why 2/3 of the country to the east and north east are arid and semi arid. Finally got a comprehensive explanation. Thanks.

  3. My mind instantly went to the mistletoe cactus, the only native old world cactus. Though we're not sure if humans or birds brought them across the Atlantic, it was certiantly birds who spread them across Africa and to Sri Lanka.

  4. I've been travelling on the road from Mittersill to Lienz with my friend a month ago and despite it being 25C in Kirshdorf, when we were driving down the road to Lienz the temperature dropped to 5C! I knew it had something to do with the mountains, but had no idea what. This really helped clear out that mystery and now that I think about it - it makes perfect sense.

  5. I lived for a year in Santa Cruz de la Sierra in Bolivia near the chaco savanna and man do the winters hit hard, even with 15c it felt like the freezing winters im used to in belgium

  6. Beautiful highlands of central Mexico. I tell to people of the midwest US that in summer, it is quite cool in the Mexican highlands.

  9. Very good video. I have spent many days in one island off the Venezuelan coast (morning to night only, because you can't sleep overnight in it). I always enjoyed to see how the clouds gathered on the mountains on the continent. Mostly these mountains fall almost directly on the see, and rise quickly up to more than 1000 mts. Every afternoon it rains on those mountains, but almost never on the islands. I have been in the middle of one of those rains and they can be torrential!

  10. Yup. According to Tracy Barker 90% die off each year. They aren’t ever getting out of Florida.

  13. I am 59 and finally have my question answered from childhood. I always wondered why driving from La Guaira to Caracas, on one side you see red soil with Cactus and on the other a Tropical Rainforrest!!

  14. ​@casualearth9076 In the coast of Dhofar in Oman, the coldest water temperatures occur in August, not January because of the strong upwelling. In Salalah, August is the 3rd coolest month of the year.

  15. This is easily the best video I have ever seen on this subject!

  16. I used to go to Paraguana as a kid, my family liked to travel there. I could never understand why the water was soooooo cold when the climate was hot and dry. HATED it , the worst being Villa Marina. Nice beach but the water was very cold. On the flip side, the water is at its warmest in the earliest hours of the day, still don't get it. 31 years later I understand why, lol. There's also a nice feature named Cerro Santa Ana which I believe used to be a volcano. This video brought memories of those travels, here's some folk music from the region, we used to listen to it while traveling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G5eSmp9aDA&ab_channel=Thefernannova

  17. I live in Barranquilla, city located in Colombia's caribean region, and you are very right, it’s incredible that there is a desert in the middle of tropical climate, the wind is quite strong specially in the first months of the year, thank you for the explanation.

  18. Thank you for this video. I’m from Venezuela and I have been in many of these locations. I never knew why it was so dry there but I always wonder. So thanks for this.

  19. You have finally explained why Los Angeles is coldest in Dec than Jan! And the N Pacific High as it pushes the jet south into the subtropics also bring atmospheric rivers to the West Coast

  20. This is very interested, I am from the Araya peninsula area. I always wondered why it was so different. Specially the part of the upwelling, I always wondered why the water was always so cold around the area.

  21. I live close to Asiago Plateau, Italy Up there in the carsic basins and dolines are registered some of the all time low temperatures of the Alps range like -50°C , despite just 1600 meters highness

  24. The Amazon rainforest, with its flying rivers, literally creates Brazil (and South America) as we know it. Too bad we are destroying it. Thank you for the video, very clearly explained.

  31. Really fascinating, I noticed most deserts are near west coasts but never took note of the latitudes. I looked it up and the only actual subtropical east coast desert I could find is on the Arabian peninsula's east coast. And it's just barely outside of the actual tropics, so it only counts on a technicality.

  33.  @casualearth-dandavis  all good My family is one of those forced ones from your mentioned city Trabzon. Nice if you got my point . Very interesting topic congrats, I just read this year in a book that East Coast of Black Sea is one of the rain forests besides Africa and South america, now I saw this video

  34. I love the technical content in these videos but explained clearly enough for a layperson to understand. I can feel so lonely as someone like me who is interested in weather and climate...this is exactly what I've been looking for! Subscribed!

  35. I remember one year when San Francisco hosted the (baseball) All-Star Game at Candlestick Park, aka The Abomination By The Bay, aka The Big Chill. Most of the fans were dressed more like it was winter. Made me laugh. For reference, I'm familiar with California's coastal peculiarities. Used to spend summer weekends in Eureka to escape the Sacramento Valley blazing heat.

  36. Very enlightening and I'm Paraguanero, born and lived almost all my life here. It's truly a desert and a struggle because we need constant A/C so this forces the frail National Electric Grid. Also right now Maduro is selling electricity to our neighbor Brasil so the shutdowns have increased. You can imagine the heat if the light goes out in the middle of the day. Truly hellish. Global warming isn't helping and I wonder many times a week what's gonna happen with the people living here in the decades to come? This enviroment creates hard people in the more rural areas, where the electric grid just barely gets there or none at all due to the political and economic debacle. The fishing has revived and thrived though, as the fishermen sell their loot for good dollar cash. By the way, we have also a native small species of deer locals call Matacan. They are close to the hills chain, mostly on the prominent Santa Ana Hill. They are endangered if I recall correctly and hard to spot. The wind, kite and surfing culture has endured and tourism and even athletes comes to the east coast to have fun and train, mainly in Adicora. I hope in the future we collectively recognize the importance of tourism, which was carried historically by marabinos and caraqueños from affluent backgrounds and the former middle class which is now in shambles. It was funny you mentioned the cool water surrounding our shores which is the truth. It's very curious jumping on the water here and feel the shock of cold water when the weather is so hot and arid. Although theres a mix if you move a few feets and then you feel a warm stream. In the east coast you can find some beaches with warm crystaline water like Subure. Finally let me add that not many people know that we have sand dunes in Paraguana, in the northernmost part of the region. They are almost identical to the Médanos de Coro which are localized in the isthmus but for some (but on character with the stupidity of the people here) not many people know of their existence, and theres no will to make a road and maps so the tourist going to Cabo San Roman can take a little detour to visit those unvisited basically forgotten dunes. The neglected twin of the Falconian dunes. Great video, you gained a new subscriber!

  37. In a much larger scale in siberia, the town of Oymiakon and surroundings have the characteristic to be the coldest places in the northern hemisphere. Record low of -71,2°C and reaching lower temperatures than -60 is common in these valleys in siberia, completely enclosed by mountain ranges.

  38. I'm from Caracas, but my family is from the Paraguana Peninsula, every year when I go visit my grandparents I always stop at the dunes of Coro. My little Saharan paradise in the caribbean <3
