when my thermostat is set to 68 degrees in both winter and summer, why does it seem more cold inside during the winter and more hot inside during the summer at the same temperature? does the weather outside have an impact on the way 68 degrees feels?

Asked by pixie242 over 7 years ago

Your perception is probably based on the dewpoint which measures the amount of moisture in the air. Cold air is drier, warner is often more moist. That affects how your body evaporates sweat and evaporation creates a cooling feeling. Great question, thanks.

I think only at the Christmas party. It was so long ago I can’t remember the blooper. Merry Christmas!

Cozad Nebraska has generally been logged as the "meridian city" or near the 100th meridian where the dry arid air meets the eastern humid air. I understand over years this point has moved to the east because of clinate change. Where is that point now

I'll admit to not being familiar with that term. I'll ask the other members of the podcast I co-host called WeatherBrains. Thanks!

Can the NWS issue watches or is that only something the storm prediction center can do?

Asked by Donovin almost 7 years ago

Great question. A tornado or severe thunderstorm watch will come from the Storm Prediction Center, often in consultation with local offices. A hurricane watch will come from the National Hurricane Center and winter weather and flood watches will come from local offices. Thanks, Donovin!

what does a meteorologist do? what kind of person do you have to be to become one?

Asked by Will over 7 years ago

Well...we are all very nice people. An interest in science and math is helpful. Forecasters look at computer model data as well as satellite and radar data on a daily basis. Research meteorologists create computer models and sensing tools like radar, satellites and weather stations. Many meteorologists work for private companies like airlines, delivery services and power companies. For more information you can search for the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Service. Good luck, Will!

What do you think would be something that if you or someone else who does the same job do that would get them instantly fired?

Pretty broad and complicated question. Not one that I can really answer. Termination criteria I’m sure varies from company to company.
