⚠️⛈️ Latest as of 1pm Sat: #MetOffice have updated their warnings for the weekend. 🧵

SATURDAY: Yellow Warning for #Thunderstorms in place 2pm-9pm, covering inland areas of NE #Wales. While most will stay dry, some may see heavy, slow moving showers and thunderstorms. Lightning and hail is possible. #NaturalResourcesWales have issued a Yellow "Be Aware" Advisory for flood risk for all counties except Anglesey. (1/2)

HeatHack: I've hung my quilt from the roof to keep the sun out of my office in the hope that I can cool it enough to make coding possible.

True #hacker!

This involves a brick, a stone Buddha and a woodworking clamp to create a gap for the tiny amount of breeze out there.

I could cook on my #narrowboat roof today, which the #MetOffice said would be overcast.

Now considering the wet towel popularised by Arnie in #TotalRecall.

The Met Office have chosen to name storms after the responders, not the guilty who conspired to make them as frequent & severe as they are!

Come on Met Office, discredit where it is due please! Name the shady funded ‘tanks’ & wealthy filth that steered those storms to us!

🧵 Update to previous warning - #StormBetty

We were a bit confused as to why #MetOffice issued a wind warning for this morning (Fri) but as confidence has now increased, they have moved this warning to Fri night / Sat morning and officially assigned the name Storm Betty. (1/2)

Je suis très jaloux des bulletins météo télévisés au Royaume Uni. Que ce soit du Met Office (https://youtube.com/@metoffice) ou de la BBC (avec Meteogroup : https://youtube.com/@BBCWEATHEROUTLOOK) c’est autrement plus qualitatif que nos bulletins en France, avec des cartes beaucoup plus techniques. Si les britanniques les comprennent, les français devraient y arriver aussi !

@pvonhellermannn @futureape there are in fact dozens of climate dashboards, as @micefearboggis has documented thoroughly (see: https://jjk-code-otter.github.io/climate-monitoring-resources/ ) but probably you'll find his own #ClimateDashboard at the UK #MetOffice easiest to follow:
