'If your forecast is wrong then better watch me-
Gosh darn, 'nother those meterologist who think murica is the center of the earth. Honey, I ain't gonna watch yer doing a forecast in the back of the world while I'm more concerned with the weather on another continent.
And yes, weather forecast is not always wrong, but it's not always right either. When it says one thing, there is a chance something else comes. Forecast is not foolproof, so better prepare for everything than just for one thing that isn't even sure to be.

rainbows have millions of colors, because there are millions of individual wavelengths of light, even just the ones within our range of vision.
our eyes can only detect red green and blue. mixtures of light generate all the colors in between.
now, technically it would be ok to say that the total number of -main- colors we can see are: red, blue, green, cyan, yellow & magenta. the additive and subtractive primary colors.

Yeah, people really do forget that the most powerful computer on the planet is still the human brain. A meteorologist's interpretation of the gathered information is important to get accurate information, and if you doubt that, I can tell you for a fact that only one single person predicted the '93 blizzard in Georgia, and it was the local weather man.

I have a meteorology question for you. I recently saw for the current day in Toledo, Ohio that the high was 16 while the low was 14. At the same time, I observed that the current temperature was -4. So why is it sometimes that the current temperature ends up being out of range like this?

forecasts are 99% of time wrong. When it says it will rain, it never rains, and this winter, it each week says, next week coldest temperature will be -3-5C but weather hasnt been warmer than -10C for pas 1, 5 months: p with a lot of time going down to -30.
EU standart is 220 volts tho: p

Janice Huff looks the same as she did 30 years ago.
She once came to my school 30 years ago and told everyone in the auditorium to snap our fingers to make the sound of raindrops. And then slapping our baggy jeans to make the sound of -. Ill never forget it.

-The weather is the only thing that affects our lives every day. -
You sure about that? You REALLY sure about that? There's NOTHING ELSE that happens in reality that affects our lives every day?

The only reason the Rainbow is said to have 7 colours is because Isaac Newton wanted it to match up with the musical octave. He originally only had 5, excluding Orange and Indigo.

Weather forecasts need confidence intervals. Some forecasts are far less certain than others; it would be helpful if meteorologists would make those error bars part of the news.

It does make sense that she is the best presenter of her profession that wired has made a video on because part of her job is to literally present the information she finds.
