Survival Myths Debunked: What NOT to Do During a Storm
Hollywood movies have taught us many things about survival, but some of them are dead wrong. Opening windows to "equalize pressure" during a tornado? Taping glass to stop it from shattering? Hiding under a highway overpass? This article debunks the most dangerous weather myths and provides the actual science-backed advice that could save your life.
The Jet Stream Explained — The Invisible River That Controls Our Weather
Approximately 10 kilometers above your head, an invisible river of air races eastward at speeds that would put a Formula 1 car to shame — sometimes exceeding 400 km/h. This is the jet stream, and despite being invisible and intangible, it is arguably the single most important factor in determining what weather you experience day to day. It steers storms, separates warm and cold air masses, and when it weakens or wanders, the results can be devastating. Understanding the jet stream is the key to understanding why weather happens the way it does.
AI vs Traditional Meteorology: Can Robots Predict the Weather Better?
The way we predict the weather is undergoing its biggest revolution since the invention of the satellite. Tech giants like Google and Huawei are using Artificial Intelligence to predict storms in seconds, a task that takes traditional supercomputers hours. This article compares traditional Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) with new AI models like GraphCast, exploring if algorithms will eventually replace human meteorologists.
