My local news station has different clever weather meters and this is definitely the kind of info I need, presented in the way I need it, shout-out to the intern who was the brainchild of this system:

The German weather presenter bringing climate change into millions of living rooms

One German TV meteorologist says weather reports must adapt to the era of global warming.

More channels should do this.

What does color theory have to say about this, huh? 🤔

Full many a glorious morning have I seen Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye, Kissing with golden face the meadows green, Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy; Anon permit the basest clouds to ride With ugly rack on his celestial face, And from the forlorn world his visage hide, Stealing unseen to west with this disgrace: Even so my sun one early morn did shine With all triumphant splendor on my brow; But out, alack! he was but one hour mine; The region cloud hath mask'd him from me now. Yet him for this my love no whit disdaineth; Suns of the world may stain when heaven's sun staineth.

William Shakespeare, sonnet 33, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare: the Sonnets (MIT.edu)

I often think of this poem when I hear the weather report on the morning news, or when I get a Severe Weather alert from my city when a major storm is on the way.

And I am grateful for the privileges in my era of living on this planet.

Weather Reporting

Having put all the clocks back last month (in case the Argos CCTV cameras had caught me stealing them) and with the nights drawing in and winter fast approaching, we will soon all have to witness endless tv reporters standing out in all kinds of adverse weather conditions to report on the latest climatic disaster. They seem to spend most of their winters standing by dangerously swollen rivers; or on windswept beaches with high tides and crashing waves around them or in dense forest amid fallen trees, just to show us what a raging storm looks like. And then they always say: "The advice is don’t go out unless you really have to.” I can’t believe their bosses do this to them just to get a story. Why can’t they just sit in a studio until the storm has passed or film it from a nearby building window? I don’t need to see reporters’ lives endangered for the sake of tv ratings. I have worked alongside journalists and they are, generally, nice people and there’s not many that I’d like to see killed in a freak weather accident. Personally, I hate being out in thunderstorms, heavy snowdrifts and icy weather and I’m certainly not going to stand near the sea or on a cliff edge in a gale nor go storm-chasing like in the film – which name escapes me - where the cow gets thrown into the air by a twister. I’d rather watch the terrible weather from the window, in the safety, warmth and comfort of my own home. Even if there was a flood, I think I’d rather stay indoors and drown than suffer the embarrassment of watching me on every hourly tv news bulletin tumbling from my bedroom window in my Batman slippers into a neighbour’s convenient, “ready to hand,” kayak whilst being interviewed by a reporter wearing a Berghaus jacket, waders and 17ft stilts.

The Western View: "Snake-Oil" Weathermen

The Western View: “Snake-Oil” Weathermen

When a hurricane hits the east coast, we can count on a lot more than wind and water damage. We can count on some outrageous video, of these incredible weathermen and news reporters, who brave danger to bring us first hand reporting of the storm.

“Snake-Oil” Weathermen

These intrepid souls seem immune to the laws of science. The rules don’t apply to them so they can come and go in the danger zone…
