From two days ago, just your average winter. But like “they” say weather is always changing.

I don’t have any baseline to know to really judge these sorts of events, but they seem a little different?

Oh, so that’s the weather that caused that pile up a few days ago. Holy smokes.

Photograph looking out one of my front windows at the deck. There's at least an inch and a half of snow blanketing everything.

The radar is lying. It's snowing here. We've got at least an inch accumulated since daylight, when it was just starting to stick. Temperature is hovering right around freezing, so I suspect it's a pretty wet snow. The radar shows the system moving north east, so it doesn't look like we'll be out of the system anytime soon.

I did not come home from Arizona and SoCal three weeks early for this. 🙄😔

So true
The bandwidth limit I was referring to is that of wttr in
The owner has put up an amount per day that is allowed to be used. People who come in on Port 443 via browser get much much lower priority than people who come in through curl. The browser response uses more bandwidth from the server, which makes the decision logical

#Weather #wttr #meteorology #Physics #Chemistry #Mathematics #lineair #algebra #technology #OpenSource #programming #POSIX

@rl_dane
What I also love about them is the low amount of bites that a simple curl call consumes

If more people would do that, the daily bandwidth quota would not be eaten up so much

It was raining like crazy earlier

#weather #nature #life

From now on, forecasts are richer, clearer, and a bit smarter, without losing the familiar, readable style.

You will now see more complete current conditions at a glance: feels-like temperature, humidity, pressure, visibility, UV index, and wind gusts, all grouped in a dedicated Details section. Sunrise and sunset times for the current day are also included.

The wind line is back in focus, clearly highlighted for current conditions, and gusts are shown separately using 💨 emoji so they are easy to spot and not confused with average wind.

Pressure is no longer just a number: FediMeteo now shows a real pressure trend over the last few hours, telling you if it is rising, falling, or staying stable.

A new Warnings section has been added. When relevant, the bot will automatically flag things like:

• extreme feels-like temperatures, hot or cold
• high UV levels
• poor air quality
• thunderstorms
• heavy rain likely
• strong winds or gusts

Everything is fully localised. Labels like “feels like”, section titles, and weather descriptions are consistent across languages, and all weather conditions are now covered everywhere.

In short: same FediMeteo you are used to, but with more context, clearer signals, and fewer surprises.

These changes will start appearing with the next forecast update.
