    Best, most accurate weather reporter was on my grandfather's garage. It was a board with a donkey's a$$ painted on it and a rope nailed where the tail would be. Underneath it read " If the tail is moving, it's windy. If the tail is wet, it's raining. If the tail is stiff, it's freezing. If the tail is white, it's snowing and if the tail is hot it's sunny."

    Yeah! I would think it would be 1000 degrees. ten fingers, base ten. So why the departure when it comes to circles and globes and such??

    No question that form weather recording is highly reliable.
    Until recently (decade or so) weather predictions not all that reliable, accessible or so easy zeroing in other locations. I regard that a plus, including the app, a zillion times better streamlining than the regular web. Some used to be good, all became too commercialized.

    Click on the "earth =" for access to other stuff that can be shown. Also clicking on the units will change some of them to inferial, even wind speed in knots for old salts.

    I did, not a familiar site but messed with the conversions and report modes. Nothing short of astounding.
    You notice CA quake activity? No, just shuffling around of Earths' rotation, put it back when I was done.
