NWS has a ridiculously simple REST-JSON web API for pulling forecast for a given lat-long. ☁️

But it is so frustrating that I cannot develop a simple iPhone app for this on Windows/Linux. iPhone app development is supported only on MacOS - this sucks!

#NWS #weather

https://weather-gov.github.io/api/general-faqs

And speaking of weather, I have found that the National Weather Service (NWS) weather.gov hourly forecast to be clearly more accurate than whatever crap source the iPhone Weather app is pulling from. The latter has been so wrong on temperature and cloud cover that there is simply no comparison. ☁️

@ai6yr my local #NWS site hasn't been updating as it should. Sometimes it is 6-8 hours out of synch. And Wunderground is still powered by hamsters on sleeping pills

@lisamelton, can you boost the attached toot? This storm wasn't getting much attention locally and now I've got 3-4 friends who've spotted tornados locally and feds are closing offices at 3pm in DC/VA area!

I really wish we had functional #NWS warnings on masto!

SMS'd to me from a friend: “The National Weather Service has issued a Level 4 out of 5 risk for severe storms for the first time in about a decade.”

#SevereWeather #WeatherAlerts

A hearty welcome to folks who have recently come over to Mastodon from the #BirdSite! I recognize some of my old Tweeps over here, and I'm so glad you made it! So, back on the birdsite, I maintained a public list titled #GlobalAlerts. Since coming to Mastodon, I've started a new list, but unfortunately, I can't share it.

However, I copied and pasted my list into a text file -- which includes one of my favorite accounts from the birsdsite, @ai6yr, who graciously hosts and maintains a number of alert-bots. If you miss having #NWS and #EmergencyAlerts, please consider creating your own list with these accounts... Note: #Earthquake related accounts are at the bottom of the list (since there are quite a few here). Suggestions welcome!

Vernetzt zu mehr Weiterbildungsbeteiligung

Wie Weiterbildungsverbünde zur Fachkräftesicherung beitragen

Im Verbund lernt es sich leichter. Was schon seit Schultagen bekannt ist, lässt sich auch in der Idee eines Weiterbildungsverbunds fortführen.

Gemeinsames Lernen kann nicht nur effektiver und ressourcenschonender sein, auch die Vielfalt der Angebote und Möglichkeiten steigt im Verbund maßgeblich.

@infinimatt It's 58º in the foothills of the Smokies. Down to 44º before dawn and 72º tomorrow. No rain. That's what the taxpayer-funded #NWS says anyway. 🤷‍♂️ This is the other side of the sky, within seconds of that "ominous sky" shot.
