Every weather forecast starts with a global model and relies on international data exchange.
Data come from surface stations and weather balloons. Ocean buoys and ships. Aircraft and satellites.

Judge for yourself which AI to trust.
Claude gave the most responsible answers. I will keep that in mind.
Some of the report’s content makes you laugh although it’s not appropriate.
DeepSeek wished “Happy (and safe) shooting!”
Snow storms looking all pretty this year. Mystic in the sky and in shape on the radar.
Quite some snow chaos going on in Europe right now but recent radar images look quite pretty.

The German organization HateAid supports victims of hate speech with legal and psychological advice. One of its two CEOs received a medal of honor from the German president in October.
But, unfortunately, hate speech seems to be an “American viewpoint” according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio which is why the two HateAid CEOs are now sanctioned by the American government and a valid ESTA travel authorization for one of them was revoked.

We don’t even bother having a diurnal temperature cycle anymore.
The year is slowly coming to an end and everything and everyone quits work, so, ok, fine with me, we’ve had enough weather for the year.

I’ve been randomly zooming into this satellite image of a Jamaican neighborhood and it’s just devastating. No tree left standing, houses without roofs or completely destroyed.
Nature is a force bigger than us. We should not mess with it. Hoping for #ClimateAction at #COP30 🙏.
