When will we see more settled, drier weather in the West of Scotland in particular?

Asked by Craig Gillon about 6 years ago

Hi, Craig. Europe weather and climate is pretty far out of my area of expertise. You might have better luck with the UK Met Office. Good luck. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/

Okay the NWS and the SPC and other independent networks keep getting stuff wrong here in SW MO! Yesterday there was a slight risk of sever storms and today it is GT and from 40% down to 20%! Something similar happend last week. What the hell?!

Asked by DJ over 6 years ago

Often times changes like that come because the outlook on a given day is highly dependent on what happens during the day or days before. A small variation in the specific way storms develop and behave can mean a big change in the development hours later or the next day. Another explanation includes the somewhat large distance between twice daily weather balloons. A lot of things can go undetected between them. Thanks, DJ!

Have you ever seen a red tornado?

Asked by Dave about 6 years ago

In pictures, yes. A few that have traveled over an open area of red dirt that the tornado picked turned it red. Thanks, Dave!

Did you wanted to be a meteorologist as a kid? Were you drawn by seeing the weatherman on TV or did you dream about chasing storms and tornadoes?

Asked by Ladyoasis almost 6 years ago

My interest in the sky didn’t really develop until I was in my 20s. Don’t think I really knew that meteorology was a possible career when I was a kid. A lesson for parents and those around kids to watch for interests and feed them. Thanks for asking.

How do you know whether a weather siren that is blaring is just being tested in the area or if it is an actual weather emergency warning

Asked by Bonnie Faires over 6 years ago

Tests are only done on fair weather days. Usually one day each month, like the first Monday of something like that, and at a regular repeating time. Your local county emergency management office can tell you when the tests are for your area. If it is a stormy day and the siren goes off it is likely a warning. Great question!

What do you honestly think about HAARP?

Asked by Jake over 6 years ago

Really haven't researched much so no opinion.

What’s with all the bad weather today? There is sever storms and tons of snow all around.

Asked by Jamie over 5 years ago

Fall is a season of transition so the atmosphere is trying to figure it out!
