Meteorology (maybe), north east Scotland, other things (not politics).
Can anyone spot what's wrong with this map? π

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.
Oh, I already sent this a month ago, nevermind π

You're not getting snow in Reading lol

(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

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.

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

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.

Over a yearβs worth of rain β and itβs only early February. This is hydrologically absurd.
