I had to pretend I got a job at as a meteorologist because it was the only non strange reason I was trying to figure out the weather patterns. My family wanted to see my place of work so I decided to fall out of bed and break my leg to prevent this.

All of these meteorologists and reporters covering the eclipse and getting overwhelmed by emotion and crying is just really something to see.

So I'm really into weather and video games so I'm gonna take a crack at the climates of Hyrule in breath of the wild
So these are the basic climates of Hyrule.
From what I gather, the prevailing winds seem to come from the east. They pick up moisture from the ocean.
So the mountains just off the coast on the eastern side of Hyrule force the moisture out of the air and in turn create these really damp and wet areas.
The northern half in the Akkala region and Zora's Domain are more northern so therefore they're a bit chilly. Gives off big Pacific Northwest vibes.
The southern half warms up more and becomes more tropical.
It might be pretty obvious that the Gerudo desert is dry. But it's dry bc the mountains shielding it are very tall and force the rest of the moisture out of the air. It's a delayed rain shadow effect. Kinda like how in California winds hit the coast near San Francisco and that's really wet, then it's less wet but not that dry in the northern part of the central valley, then becomes bone dry in Nevada.
In the northern half of this might not be so obvious. But I have a hunch that it's a situation like Antarctica. It's a combination of the air not having too much moisture in the first place and then being cooled down, it loses the capacity to hold moisture. The snow is there from eons of snow slowly building up.
Special shout-out to Thundra Plateau for being where these different air masses collide, thus creating the perfect place for big thunderstorms to happen. Good planning on the dev's part

Theres a big misconception about the classification system for tornados where people think it's based on size or intensity but it's actually based mostly in damage done
So people think any huge monster tornado is gonna be an ef/f5 but if it's touched down in the middle of nowhere and doesn't hit anything substantial could end up only being like an ef/f2 or 3

MTV: Turn in the weather puzzles even Pekka Pouta
MTV (channel 3) is the original commercial TV channel here. Pekka Pouta is one of their meteorologists and a bit of a celebrity. That's him in the viral "winter is coming" weather forecast video back in 2015.

I genuinely do not know if Google is actually getting more and more unhelpful, or if there鈥檚 some secret hidden way of using it everyone knows but me.
Like, verbatim either doesn鈥檛 work or gives me results that are even less relevant. Putting - in front of a word doesn鈥檛 actually exclude anything. I have to try and type in at least 10 different ways of phrasing the same simple question, just for it to give me something even vaguely on topic.
At this point I genuinely feel more autistic trying to deal with this site than I do in 99% of social interactions. It feels like the damn thing鈥檚 operating on its own set of rules that it won鈥檛 let me know. Google is free but it won鈥檛 tell me shit. It nitpicks through the words I type just to grab hold of the thing that will let it make a planet sized leap away from where I鈥檓 trying to get to.
Today I wanted to find out if the snowfall in the UK is slowly getting later. It feels like it hasn鈥檛 happened in December for a long time, but my memory鈥檚 unreliable so I want to check. I know the information I want is out there. It should be really easy! I鈥檓 asking for the history of snowfall from a country I know for a fact documents this stuff!
But I have been here for almost two and a half hours now and I have turned up NOTHING! This browser is convinced I only want to talk about a White Christmas, and if I try to widen the scope to the rest of the month it springs off on a tangent where the most relevant result is an American article for holiday makers claiming that it only snows in the UK between December and February. My memory may be bad but even I know this is a lie. The best I could get was when I went fuck it and tried to go to the records directly, and that was an article where the latest date mentioned was 2010, which wasn鈥檛 useful when I鈥檓 looking for the weather statistics from within my adult life.
Like, I have to be doing something wrong right??? I swear I didn鈥檛 used to spend this much time doing research only to turn up nothing. Surely it can鈥檛 be this frustrating and useless for everyone, right???
