  12. 🚢 This week, a group of #MPIM scientists visited #HapagLloyd here in #Hamburg to explore common interests & learn about career paths outside academia. ⛅ We learned about how #WeatherForecasts are used to route container ships safely & efficiently, discussed the role of #AI in automating routine tasks, & got a tour of Hapag Lloyd's historic headquarters!
    A big thank you to Hapag-Lloyd for the warm welcome & inspiring exchange. We look forward to future conversations between science & industry! 🙌

  13. Gizmodo: Here’s Why Weather Forecasts Have Seemed So Inaccurate Lately. “Before the cuts, the NWS was launching weather balloons twice per day (once in the morning and once in the evening) from 100 locations. Today, the number of morning launches in the Lower 48 has been reduced by half, according to MyRadar senior meteorologist Matthew Cappucci.”

  14. Ah, the meteorological messiah has arrived in the form of Xweather Live 🌩️—because clearly, the problem with weather forecasts was that they weren’t interactive enough! 🙄 Now you can pretend to be a meteorologist while twiddling with a map that promises to be ad-free, as if that's the real storm we've all been waiting to weather. 🌪️

  15. What an absolutely obscene, wasteful & completely unnecessary waste of money! ABC News: BOM reveals new website cost $96.5m, not $4.1m as first announced abc.net.au/news/2025-11-23/bur #WeatherForecasts #AusPol #BOM #GovernmentWaste

  16. Stupid people, especially in Texas, are slow to understand that you get much less accurate weather forecasts after you (DOGE) fire government employees whose jobs were related to the accuracy of #WeatherForecasts.

  17. This is absolutely NUTS! What is wrong with these people??

    Trump administration's NOAA is terminating operations of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites that provide real-time data to hurricane researchers across the country, including National Hurricane Center forecasters. These satellites allow scientists to see through clouds and inside tropical storms and hurricanes, even in the dark.

  18. 🚨 Hold onto your dial-up modems, folks! 🌩️ The "Weather Channel Simulator" is here to take you back to the '90s—because who doesn't miss waiting for a pixelated sun and moon to tell you it's still raining? 🌧️ Prepare to relive the excitement of "No Data" and the thrill of "Retrying" as you awkwardly navigate weather forecasts like it’s 1995. 📟🌪️

  19. I'm after weather station recommendations. Wind speed and direction, rain, temperature and humidity are essential and UV/light would be good. I need output via MQTT (I'm not averse to some 433MHz/SDR type solution).
    Does anybody have any recommendations from personal experience?

  20. Trump's planned cuts "eliminate NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Office and its 10 research laboratories ... The scientific backbone and workforce needed to keep #WeatherForecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective will be drastically undercut, with almost certainly disastrous consequences for public safety and economic health":

  21. More notes from the live chat by Weather West (Dr. Daniel Swain) on the chaos being wrought upon the National Weather Service:

    Dept of Commerce terminated an agreement with a university regarding weather/climate research stated "this cooperative agreement promotes exaggerated climate threats...promoting anxiety..."

    A doc from the White House states that the proposed close the NOAA office that does and funds research on weather and oceanographic. NASA is targeted for larger cuts regarding planetary research. Many cooperative research centers will be closed. Proposed is the canceling the partnership between NASA and NOAA, which would end weather satellite updates.

  22. A list of notes on the chaos in the NOAA from the Live Chat by Weather West (Dr. Daniel Swain):

    Staff in the Sacramento NWS office is critically understaffed. Monterey office has lost people and are understaffed. Weather balloons to gather vital info twice a day are not being launched due to understaffing, which will degrade weather forecasting. In Canduca (sp?) Kentucky the building of the weather office cannot pay for backed up toilets and all maintenance has been fired. Plus, it forced staff to use an outside porta potty in an active hurricane warning. Hazardous wastes trained staff have been fired and now offices have been shut down due to no one being able to safely dispose of the waste. Some staff have been fired 3x with the firings and rehiring. US global change research program on observed and expected impact of climate change report--the company doing the report were fired, even though it was congressionally mandated.
