Growing up outside Manchester, I spent countless summer holidays at my grandparents' farm in the Yorkshire Dales. My grandfather would step outside each morning, scan the sky, and announce with absolute certainty what the weather would do that day. No smartphone apps, no weather channel, just decades of observation. I used to think it was nonsense. How could watching birds or looking at clouds possibly compete with satellite technology? But here's the thing: he was almost always right.

If you've ever glanced at your phone's weather app to check the day's forecast or to help plan for an upcoming storm, you've probably run across a scenario where you see an outrageous forecast. It happened to me earlier this week when I noticed my app was predicting more than 13 inches of snow for the Charlotte, NC area. Not only would that be a historic storm, but it would also be fairly apocalyptic for an area where even an inch of snow is a rarity.

A weekend morning meteorologist at 7News in Boston is now an on-air host with FOX Weather. Melanie Black started her new role Thursday, which is based in New York City, according to a release from FOX Weather, which is a free, ad-supported steaming television (FAST) service.

The skies were filled with a rare rose colour, which meteorologists at the Met Office have explained is due to sunlight passing through fine layers in the air, such as moisture or dust. Graham Madge, spokesperson for the Met Office, told the Daily Mail: When the sunlight comes through lots of layers, it filters out the blue and scatters it, leaving the red to come through, It's effectively a sunrise filtered through the atmosphere and through the fog, giving it that pinkish hue.

Paulson began his time at KTVU-TV Fox 2 in July 2000 as a meteorologist. A longtime Bay Area resident, he attended Campolindo High School in Moraga, and Cal State Chico. One half of "the fog brothers" with fellow anchor Sal Castaneda, Paulson was celebrated by the whole staff Friday morning. He recounted a story of coming to the Bay Area from Denver, in which he was initially offered an opportunity to fill in for one day per month.

At PG&E's weather lab in San Ramon, Scott Strenfel studies a huge digital map on the wall displaying temperatures, dew points and humidity levels across California. At a spot in Kern Hills outside of Bakersfield, wind gusts of 39 mph were forecast to hit. Hey team, thunderstorm outflow down in Kern at 3 p.m., Strenfel calls out to his fellow scientists, each behind double computer screens.

Meteorological services indicate that rising temperatures in Sicily result from torrid winds from Africa, linked to a subtropical anticyclone, lasting until Saturday.

Meteorologists have warned that a surge in tropical moisture could set off dangerous flash floods all the way from the Gulf Coast to the Ohio Valley, impacting residents in parts of 11 states from now through this weekend.

Tropical Storm Barry developed in the Gulf of Mexico on June 29th, becoming the second named storm of the season and arriving unusually early, with significant rains leading to deadly floods.

Accurate weather forecasts alone aren't enough to save lives; local authorities must interpret warnings, communicate them, and assist communities in evacuating effectively.

Meteorologists suggest focusing on dew point temperature instead of relative humidity to understand how the weather affects our comfort outdoors.

Images shared across social media showed a huge horizontal wall stretching from the horizon towards the shore, accompanied by a violent gust of wind when it reached land.

The termination of the SSMIS service, a vital tool for hurricane monitoring, could disrupt accurate forecasts due to the lack of comprehensive data it provides.

Seasonal forecasts suggest a hotter-than-average summer for Germany, with temperatures rising significantly from July to September, leading to potential health and environmental impacts.

Knowing what's going on inside a storm is crucial to knowing what's going to happen to people in its path, meteorologists said.

A big reason for the lessened rain can be attributed to the massive cloud of dust from the Sahara Desert making its way over the region.

Doppler radar has revolutionized how we've been able to issue warnings... Losing radar capabilities would take us back in time by four decades, says Jana Houser.

The Saharan Air Layer contains about 50 percent less humidity, which can weaken tropical systems and slow down activity in affected areas.

The Kansas motorcyclist, Frankie Camren, captured a strange black ring in the sky while riding, prompting him to seek answers about its origin.

Donnelly stated it was a very tough decision that she believes was right for her and her family, emphasizing her commitment to her work.

After a long spell of high pressure bringing dry weather and sunshine, gloomier and unsettled conditions are on the horizon.
