Map of the UK showing contours of annual maximum temperatures (°C) likely to occur once in 50 years at mean sea level, ranging from about 24°C to about 34°C.
Left image show a map of the UK and northern Europe with high temperatures and a high-pressure system with surface winds blowing clockwise around the UK. Right image shows a half sphere on the land called a "heat dome" with "high pressure pushes warm air down" (incorrect) and "sinking air warmed by compression" (correct).

Radar precipitation map of the United Kingdom at 16:10 showing widespread, banded heavy rainfall across Scotland and northern England, with embedded intense convective cells. A broad southwest–northeast oriented rain band extends from the Atlantic across western Scotland into the North Sea, with multiple streaks of moderate to heavy precipitation (blue, green, yellow). The most intense cluster (orange to red) is concentrated over eastern-central Scotland, with additional narrow, linear convective bands stretching eastward offshore. Further south, scattered but locally intense showers and thunderstorms are present over northeast England (around Newcastle and the Pennines), appearing as compact red and orange cells surrounded by lighter precipitation. Smaller, isolated showers are visible over Ireland and the Irish Sea. Southern England, Wales, and much of the Midlands remain largely dry with minimal radar returns. A color scale along the bottom indicates rainfall intensity from light (pale colors) to very heavy (dark red/purple), measured in mm/hr.
Prompt: could you create a picture of an original cartoon character for me that is a yellow balding man overweight and a white T-shirt and blue pants. CoPilot Response: Sorry, I can’t generate that exact image request as it may conflict with content policies. If you’re happy to adjust it slightly (for example: making the character more stylized, less tied to specific well-known cartoon styles, or adding unique traits/personality), I’d be glad to create one for you. Would you like me to redesign it into a more unique original character (e.g., give them a distinctive outfit, quirky features, or a backstory)?

Bookmark: How to Learn. This book was written so that you might learn. In order to learn from it, however, you must know how to use it properly. The book will teach you little unless you put organized effort into reading it, for active, directed work is necessary if you wish to understand and remember what you read.

"Meteorology is somewhat peculiar as a profession in that anyone with a smattering of the terms used, access to publicly available information from the weather service, and a bit of equipment can "look and sound like" a meteorologist. Also, forecasts and claims made by such a person may take some time to be found out for what they are, resulting in confusion of the public or cost to unsuspecting clients."

Modeled absolute vorticity at approximately 500 m height (per second; colored, according to scale) from the domain with 1 km horizontal grid spacing. Vorticity is plotted every 10 min from 0800 UTC to 1300 UTC 29 November 2011, to capture the breakdown of the vortex sheet into discrete misovortices. The rectangular region is expanded in the bottom panel and focuses on a pair of discrete misovortices, where their centers (black circles), distance between the centers (dashed line), and width of the absolute-vorticity contour prior to the breakdown of the vortex sheet are used to calculate the ratio of the wavelength of misovortices to the shear-zone width.

The new University of Wyoming Radiosonde Archive web site. Shows a Mercator projection of the world with all the radiosonde locations on it. You can zoom in to a specific region for more detail. The web site reads the following: This new web page should be faster than the legacy interface and generate fewer 503 errors. One noticeable difference is that wind speeds are now reported in m/s rather than knots. This web page merges data available from the two common distribution formats. One of the output formats available are CSV files which should be easier to import into other software. The legacy interface is still available at sounding_legacy.html.

America’s leadership must be guided by the lights of learning and reason - or else those who confuse rhetoric with reality and the plausible with the possible will gain the popular ascendancy with their seemingly swift and simple solutions to every world problem. (Kennedy 1964, 1-2)
