Can't believe they did away with the weather wheel in the new Balamory. How are the next generation of meteorologists meant to become inspired now?

Genuinely still creeps me out

EarthCARE overpass of Typhoon Sinlaku on the 13 April 2026. Analysis done on the reflectivity plot from the CPR instrument.

Thanks for the initial post by @doomhamwx.bsky.social on the EarthCARE direct overpass of #TyphoonSinlaku on 13 April 2026.

I really enjoyed learning about the instrument and doing some brief analysis of this plot. The caveat being I think this is only the 2nd such image I have seen of a TC. 😄

Like a summer's evening for some in the south..still 21C at 9.30 local

#warmestdayoftheyear tomorrow? UKV thinks maybe. (There is 25c somewhere near London but I couldn't get the icon on it 🙁)

#StormDave rattling across the country this evening and overnight brining a multitude of hazards to the north

Awesome example of a density current/cold pool propagating south away from main cold front precipitation (itself with SW flow but progressing SE) across Scotland this evening.

The cold pool is intense: temperature at Leuchars (near St Andrews) fell from 11.5°C to 5.1°C in 30 mins.

Anyway, here's an interesting visualisation of what's happening above the middle east and how this translates to the thunderstorms on the ground

Interesting video today from @metoffice.gov.uk about post processing and a great example of metadata quirks from the ECMWF

Cold swipe incoming by Wednesday with wintry showers possible especially in the north and west

Flagstaff, Arizona:

• March 19, 2026 high: 84°F
• Previous March all-time high: 73°F
• April all-time high: 80°F

That's just plain ridiculous.

Graphic showing observed average maximum temperature for March 1, 2026 to March 21, 2026 with 741 stations. Many are in the top 5 warmest on record for this period.

For understandable reasons, we have been focusing a lot on the West, but there's a much broader signal. Many stations across the entire southern half of the U.S. are recording their highest average maximum temperatures on record so far this March.

How did we all get duped into the lie of "comfy old jeans"? Jeans are not comfortable and they never have been.

Guess this must have been near the start if you had the energy to set up your phone only to run past it again 😄

This is what I was aiming for last night...

Just a normal spring day in the US...

Multi pack crisps should come in packs of seven, not six. One a day for a week.

Exactly a year from this post and the descendent of this javascript adventure might be on the cusp of being a product that customers actually *pay* for

A change to more settled weather by the middle of next week?

Spot the cold front 😉

IGNORE THE FACT IT SAYS UKV 17TH OF FEB, I'M NOT RE-RENDERING THEM BOTH

The squally rain line is a bit of a clue in this one 😅

Spot the cold front

Interesting evolution on the ECMWF 12Z

PRESSURE Official Trailer (2026) Brendan Fraser YouTube video by ONE Media

Finally a movie about the stress of meteorologists trying to convince decision-makers to change their plans based on a weather forecast.

The movie focuses on British meteorologist James Stagg and the pressure he felt leading up to the D-Day invasion.

Milder air incoming

Can anyone spot what's wrong with this map? 😆

I think a graph of the week would probably work better for this purpose
