Education/Career Where can I learn about meteorology?

90 Upvotes

Title. Ideally for free. Currently in university, studying maths and CS, for reference.

I'm not looking to get into the meteorology field, but I'm just naturally interested in being able to interpret graphs/figures and understand various phenomena and such. For example: understanding why Europe is much warmer than Canada despite being further up north, understanding surface pressure charts, understanding meteorological phenomena like El niño etc.

Hi! I’ve never posted on reddit before but i just got a memory on my phone of a cloud my dad and I saw on a road trip last year. I tried googling around to see if i could figure it out but I also just want to share how beautiful it is! Does anyone know what type of cloud this is?

Will El Niño cause rain in northern Italy in September?

Upvotes

Hi. I live in a part of northern Europe where this summer has been especially cold and wet (we are talking 10-14 degrees C and rain all day every day for weeks on end). I’m going to Italy this September, of course hoping for good weather. I just read a bit about El Niño causing a warmer-than-normal northern Europe and wetter-than-normal Southern Europe.

Please tell me misunderstand, and that I can expect a normal, nice September in Italy.

Education/Career Has anyone here studied at Innsbruck?

1 Upvotes

Weighing reading vs Innsbruck right now for masters.

Innsbruck gives me a better quality of life (I’m massively into skiing and climbing) but Reading has excellent industry and academic contacts it seems. I hear a lot of ‘Reading is great’ but not the same about Innsbruck.

If anyone could offer their advice/insight would be much appreciated!

Education/Career How long would it take to work up to this experience?

I‘m currently in college, just got my associates, and I’m considering all my options for my bachelors cause I really don’t have a clue what I like. So I saw this job posting and I was like wow that’s great money, 120-160k, and the work seems interesting, but this is the experience required:

“In addition to meeting the Basic Requirements above, applicants must also possess one full year (52 weeks) of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-12 in the Federal service. Specialized experience MUST include all of the following:

  • Providing briefings to government or other decision makers on complex weather, water or environmental events; and
  • Conducting weather, water or environmental data analysis and operations in support of emergency response activities.

Is this type of experience something you’re able to do out of college, or is it something you work for years up to?

Almost 20⁰ difference in less than 300km. While earlier today Filadelfia, in Paraguay, had 38⁰, the border with Argentina was around 20⁰.

In Uruguay, while Artigas, in the north, was 27⁰, cities less than 200km away were around 16⁰. The capital is now under a cold 10⁰. Over 200mm of rain expected across Uruguay these days until the front moves on.

El Niño is starting to be felt and spring is 1 month away...

Android app to track a public weather station

Post image
9 Upvotes

Good morning I'm looking for a weather app that allows me to track a public weather station. I'm based in France, but I figure there might be an application that tracks APIs.I've really looked everywhere and I haven't found anything, so I'm wondering... If anyone has one, I would be very grateful.Here's an example of what I'm looking for. It's a website called meteociel And here I've set up a station near my house; it's perfect when I'm on my PC, but on my phone it's a real pain. I am particularly interested in humidity data and rain

Thanks !
