Nine tips from a meteorologist on the topic: how not to get into a puddle with the weather forecast this spring (on the occasion of March 23)



The weather forecast is always the same ambush - someone must be dissatisfied with it.

You write articles, dissertations, give lectures that not all forecasts are equally useful, but you will still find a cultured person who will look at the weekend forecast on the personal website of Baba Vali, a healer who predicts weather by feelings in joints; on Sunday, a barbecue with raw kebabs in the country will fill up with March snow, and meteorologists will be guilty again )

Therefore, today, March 23, on my professional holiday (and everyone should be fine on holiday, right?) I will give you 9 simple tips (and without any advertising) how in 5 minutes to become an advanced user and less likely to get wet on a picnic in the rain. The 15-year-old (terrible figure) meteorological experience as a producer of forecasts, their criticism and climate consultant for business and the media in one bottle,
as well as a heightened sense of justice, will help me in this .

So, let's go:

  1. Watch the weather forecast no earlier than 3-4 days before the event. Remember that the best forecast for the third day comes true in 9 cases out of 10, and on the seventh - only 75%. However, the difference (especially when the fate of the barbecue is at stake).
  2. Other things being equal, see the forecast (tomorrow, the day after tomorrow - it doesn’t matter) in the afternoon. The forecast databases (even the worst) will be updated once again in the afternoon, and the forecast will be better.

And finally. Instead of the tenth.

Love weather forecasters. They study for 5-8 years, not only in order to deceive your expectations for the weekend. And also, so that the plane that carries you on your long-awaited vacation, safely arrives "according to meteorological" <criteria> to your destination. And here, few will say that they are doing this job poorly.

Have a nice weather, my friends!
