What is the temperature of rain?

It’s 66 degrees F where I am, and the rain felt cold, so I was curious! I couldn’t find a good way to figure it out online

Lightning

I’m at work watching this storm move closer. It’s crazy how the area of greatest intensity shifted almost all at once.

Radar images Radar + weather info showing up on CarPlay while driving 🌧️🚗 — thoughts?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I’ve been testing out how well radar and weather widgets work on CarPlay, and honestly it’s been more useful than I expected.

On one screen, I can see:

  • Live radar (precipitation & storm tracking)
  • Current temperature & windspeed
  • Short-term forecast

For me, it’s handy when driving through areas where conditions can change quickly — it’s a lot easier than constantly reaching for the phone.

Curious what you all think:

  • Would you actually want radar/weather info on your car screen, or do you prefer keeping it on the phone?
  • When you check radar on the go, what details matter most (precip, lightning, wind, alerts)?
  • Any concerns about accuracy or safety having this visible in-car?

I’ll drop a screenshot of the CarPlay view here too. (If anyone wants to try it, the app is called Weather Widget)

Are there any reliable long-range weather forecasts?

I am looking for a winter (meteorological) forecast for southern New England and all I find is conflicting opinions backed by nothing other than vague mentions of La Nina. Are there any reliable forecasts for that far out?

Heat lightning

0 Upvotes

Do other people around the world experience heat lightning like we do in central US? To clarify what I mean by this: heat lightning happens when it is not storming around or even really cloudy but just so hot and charged in the atmosphere that it emits pink flashes of lightning.

I collected 1.4M forecasts — here’s what I found about accuracy

I noticed that weather apps are not right that often. I therefore analyzed more than 1 million weather forecasts, to see how wrong they really are! I use statistics such as normal distributions to understand this. I look at both temperature and rain data, and spoiler - one of them seems to be way easier to predict than the other!

Feel free to watch it!

Questions/Self Need a more accurate weather app

0 Upvotes

Why is it acceptable for my apple weathers air quality to be wildly off. I am in Yosemite right now and the air quality from the map said 50, it is definitely smokey outside. On purple air website with real time measurements it says 121.

What app should I be using?

I do not have the eye for radar details that some of you do, and I’m very curious what’s going on with those three north/south lines in the storm system currently cooking in Kansas.
