Can anyone spot what's wrong with this map? πŸ˜†

I think a graph of the week would probably work better for this purpose

Maybe it's in case you don't realise that 12 is a bigger number than 7 so you need a graphic representation..?

And if you still don't understand that then there's an explanation underneath too..?

Even though the information is already there in the forecast bit.

The best thing about having your own weather map is being able to pretend it's summer

(And finally temperature icons with size independent of the text inside of them!)

Imagine if the very complicated wind particle thing looked terrible with the high res UKV data and I spent seven hours wrestling with python and now it's 1am and this is what I've got to show for it

Yes please. These icons were so much clearer.

Also with the pressure because the markers took so long to do

ECMWF IFS on the #uksnow risk over the next few days

I spent SO long on the pressure markers but I think the precipitation map looks better without them AND it renders like three times faster...

I'm sure I'll find a use for them.

I've waited for years for the ECMWF opendata to have snow, but it's a bit of a pain it's total snow

'Why does my rain look funny?'

It's because I was plotting wind.

And I never want to code a pressure centre tracking algorithm that works half decently in animation ever ever again

ECMWF with a casual 200cm of snow over the Cairngorms by next week (there is already about 130cm).

I think I might be reaching the limits of Python

You have no idea how long I've wanted to have my own animated wind streamline code.

The last time I tried to do this was pre-LLM and I gave up after a week, and I know they're controversial but as an AID to coding they can be extremely powerful.

Grazalema, Spain, received over 2,000 mm (78 inches) of rain in just the last 20 days.

Over a year’s worth of rain β€” and it’s only early February. This is hydrologically absurd.
