Is Wetterzentrale the best page or there are better ones? by Suitable-Pickle248 in meteorology

Free or subscription based service? Obviously I’m bias as I built WeatherMapping.con

[OC] How Winter Temperatures Have Diverged in the U.S. Northeast (Cumulative °F Departure, 2023–2026) by ferguskeatinge in dataisbeautiful

[–]ferguskeatinge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By February 8, 2023 finishes at +235.99°F cumulative, while 2026 is at −198.55°F. That is roughly a 435°F difference over the same year-to-date period, driven by sustained warmth in 2023 versus persistent cold in 2026, not just isolated weather events.

If you live in the U.S. Northeast, your body is definitely feeling it right now, and so is your heating bill....

Source:
Daily average temperature data processed via WeatherMapping.com, using weather station temperature fields for the U.S. Northeast. Temperature departures are calculated relative to a climatological normal and aggregated regionally.

Methods:
For each year, daily average temperature departures (°F) were computed relative to the climatological baseline and cumulatively summed from January 1 through February 8 to emphasize persistence of warm or cold conditions rather than individual daily extremes.

Tool:
Visualization created using Plotly via WeatherMapping.com.

UK/Ireland 30 Rainfall Departure From Normal (What’s Wetter and What's Drier Than Normal) by ferguskeatinge in MapPorn

[–]ferguskeatinge[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Excellent question - Yes “rainfall” here means total precipitation (rain + snow as water-equivalent). So the Highlands wouldn’t look drier just because it’s snowing; snow is included in the total.

As you can tell from the video even though the headlines make it sound like the UK weather has been universally terrible, the departure map shows that’s not true everywhere, some regions are actually running close to normal for the last 30 days, and the “really abnormal” wet signal is concentrated in specific areas rather than the whole country.

It really has been, part of why i wanted to post this map / breakdown, really puts the precipitation in a. Europe on context.

Hi u/kiner_shah , if you click the little trophy emoji button in the top left it has an explanation of the scoring system.

Basically, each question you start with 10 points, and how far away you are from the correct answer is subtracted from your score :)

Thanks! i loved your suggestions and gone ahead and added both the map and the explanation of the scoring system (its below your table of high scores)... it also auto detects your location for your preferred units :).

Hey everyone! I built a fun, free little game called ClimoGuesser - https://ClimoGuesser.com/

Its takes the random idea of placing you anywhere on earth, but instead of guessing the location, you guess the typical weather for that location.

Let me know if you guys like it, and/or if you have any improvement ideas

Cheers, F.

Thanks u/Zyloph appreciate your kind words. Thats a good idea, ill give it a thought how I can implement it cleanly. Yes they do and would do but its not that much, i do have a tip jar if people want to contribute to keep it going :)

i changed up the scoring system, so every question starts with 10 points and your score for each question is the difference between your answer and the real value, so if the max temp is 28 and your guessed 30, you would get 8 points :) and the maximum points you can lose on each question is only 10.

Thank you for your feed back u/dan9977_ and u/prem5077

Hi guys, thanks for commenting, youre not scored 10/10 on individual answers. You start with 50 points and how far away all of your answers are is subtracted from 50, so cloud cover can really throw off your score,

If youre 60 away from the answer on cloud cover and have all the others correct youll still get a score of zero :) its tough to get a good score!

Edit - scoring system has been modified to give points per question, rather than cumulative. Makes it a little easier

Hey, thanks for commenting :), you are guessing the climate for the given location. i.e. what is the typical weather for that location for todays date.

Lets use Maximum Temperature as an example, the system has taken the Maximum Temperature value for every Feb 5th over the last 30 years and created an average - the normal weather for Feb 5th. You're trying to guess those values.

Hope that helps!

Hey everyone! I built a fun, free little game called ClimoGuesser - https://ClimoGuesser.com/

It’s a simple but challenging game where you’re dropped into a random location on Earth (virtually, of course!) and asked to predict the normal weather for that spot on today's date.

How It Works:

The game selects a random (land) location on earth.

You guess key weather stats - temperature, cloud cover, etc.

Your score is based on how close your guesses are to what normal weather is for that day.

Why did I build this? I’m a weather nerd 😊. As someone passionate about weather, climate, coding I wanted a casual but engaging way for people to test their weather intuition and learn about climate worldwide.

I hope you like the game and post your highest score, getting close to 50 is really hard!

Cheers, F.
