With a bit of experience you can soon be better at estimating the future weather than those performing monkeys on TV; http://earth.nullschool.net/#current....99,30.28,1003 http://earth.nullschool.net/#current....99,30.28,1003 http://earth.nullschool.net/#current....99,30.28,1003 You can zoom in and out (mousewheel) and click and rotate the earth and see what's going on in real time. You can click a place on the map and get data for that point. (Windspeed, total preipitable water and wind power density.) I centred it over the US for those URLs, you can move it to where you want it before bookmarking it yourself and the bookmark will store the scale, lat. and long. that you set Enjoy. Love that site. Yeah, have an app for that on this computer, I love it, much more accurate then the gubmint weather heads. My best friend used to be the USAF weather guy at Cape Canaveral in the early sixties when they were shooting astro nuts into space. He later flew "spook" planes in Nam and retired with 20 years behind him. Now he farms pine trees in Loosyanna. We talk weather nearly every day. He's four months older than me, puir old thang. We've fallen behind with weather satellites and that means NOAA cannot be on its best game. Private weather services in the US buy/use data from EU sats and sell it commercially and that is often what you see from a lot of consumer-oriented websites, too. I am a weather junkie and have at least half a dozen pages I use daily just for fun. Nothing special, most just give me a better look at things that affect my own region. I would never be happy if anyone were harmed, but man o man, I love me a good storm. |
