Rain & Shine
Western Colorado's Weekly Nature and Science Update. Rain & Shine is a regional weekly nature and science short-form podcast that explores how the planet works and how we work with the planet. At three to five minutes, these bitesize episodes seeks to inspire awe for the natural world and provide basic science education for people of all ages. Episodes are based off questions asked by the public, or friends and family, and are purposefully designed to invoke curiosity and place the listener in a familiar context. Episodes include a written summary and linked citations, and may be used as school curriculum, or as stand-alone pieces for public entertainment and education. Rain & Shine is excited to be joining forces with The Learning Council and to now be available free for all western Colorado public radio stations.CONTACT: Email us at rainshineweekly@gmail.com and find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/RainShinePodcasthttps://thelearningcouncil.org/rain-and-shine/

02: To La Niña or Not La Niña?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
La Niña is a weather phenomenon that arises from the temperatures of Pacific Ocean waters affecting the course of the Pacific and Polar jet streams. La Nina years typically bring wet falls (from increased Atlantic and Gulf storms) and dry winters (by bumping up the Polar jet stream) to southern Colorado. This year looks to be a dry one, but Rain & Shine’s team is holding out for the famous variability of our region in hopes for some snow!
