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. 🌪️

  20. Firings at US #weather and #oceans agency risk lives and economy, former agency heads warn

    By SETH BORENSTEIN
    Updated 9:48 AM EST, March 1, 2025

    WASHINGTON (AP) — "The federal weather and oceans agency touches people’s daily lives in unnoticed ways, so massive firings there will likely cause needless deaths and a big hit to America’s economy, according to the people who ran it.

    "The first round of firings started Thursday at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a government agency that monitors the oceans, the atmosphere where storms roam and space, and puts out hundreds of 'products' daily. Those products generally save lives and money, experts say.

    "#NOAA’s 301 billion weather forecasts every year reach 96% of American households.

    The firings are 'going to affect safety of flight, safety of shipping, safety of everyday Americans,' Admiral Tim Gallaudet told The Associated Press Friday. President Donald Trump appointed Gallaudet as acting NOAA chief during his last administration. 'Lives are at risk for sure.'

    "Former NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad agreed.

    "'We’re getting into prime #tornado time. We’re getting into #planting season for the agricultural season for the bread belt,' Spinrad said. 'It’s going to affect safety. It’s going to affect the economy.'"

  24. 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.

  27. 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?

  28. 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":

  29. 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.

  30. 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.

  32. Announcing FediMeteo – Weather in the Fediverse!

    UPDATE: I have created an account for updates and other information on FediMeteo - follow the account @admin to stay updated!

    UPDATE: Ireland, Poland, Portugal and Switzerland have just been added

    Weather has always influenced our lives: from agriculture to outdoor activities, to extreme events that, thanks to modern technology, can now be predicted with greater reliability. Personally, weather plays a significant role in my daily decisions, which is why I decided to create a service tailored for the Fediverse.

    FediMeteo uses Open-Meteo data to publish updates every 6 hours, including current weather conditions, forecasts for the next 12 hours, and predictions for the upcoming days. Each country is served by its own dedicated instance (e.g., it.fedimeteo.com for Italy), managed through snac to ensure simplicity and efficiency in publishing.

    You can follow FediMeteo directly in the Fediverse (on Mastodon and compatible platforms), via RSS, or by visiting the dedicated page for your city (e.g., fr.fedimeteo.com/paris).

    Currently supported countries include:
    Austria, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, – with many more regions coming soon!

    FediMeteo is hosted on a FreeBSD-based VPS, with each country isolated in its own jail to ensure security and scalability.

    Visit the main site to explore the national instances and start following your local weather updates today:
    fedimeteo.com

    Happy weather monitoring to all! 🌦️

    FediMeteo is dedicated to my grandfather, who every evening would give me the weather forecast based on TV, radio, and his personal experience. He would convince me that the weather would be bad, so he had an excuse to accompany me to school instead of me going alone.

  33. BOM is saying it is 20.8C but feels like 14.8C where I am.

    It is actually 27C feeling like 28C.

    Apparently we are experiencing thunder storms at the moment according to BOM. Blue skies and some striated clouds can be seen out my window.
