Down here in NZ we have perhaps the worlds BEST weather forecasters... No matter what they predict, the public KNOWS they will be completely wrong, ignore them, and then proceed to use their own 'best guess judgement' which has a surprisingly high level of accuracy. Furthermore, the fact that a 'typical' day here in NZ consistently contains facets of all four seasons means that it's highly probable that errors in future prediction can be interpreted as being within 18 hours of 'correct'. (NB: That 'rule' doesn't seem to hold true for the professional weather forecasters... They continue to be ALWAYS wrong!)

As another New Zealander I'm surprised by this comment. Forecasting is pretty good here, there is ocean for days around us so it's dead simple to spot things coming by satellite. However when I lived in Auckland rainfall could was very erratic at times, this is likely due it being a rare city that borders two oceans and with no surrounding mountains to shape the rainfall. So I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest you are an Aucklander.

Interestingly, this is a common cognitive bias. You subconciously ignore all the times your best guess was wrong and remember the times your best guess was right. Hence the propagation of the phrase "bad things come in threes." By believing this, you notice three bad things happening and then stop counting since your bias has been confirmed

I've noticed in the past 20 years the weather channel here in Canada, The Weather Network has severely dumbed down and limited the amount of data available on their site. I remember they used to have isobar maps for barometric pressure, maps AND forecasts for the jetstream, they had wind speed, and direction and even gust speed. In other words, stuff you expect from any competent weather service. But now you go to the site for the real time weather and all you get is basically what you'd get from a widget, temperature, the "feels like" temperature, and a little cartoon graphic depicting the current conditions; if it's sunny, cloudy, rainy, etc. That's it. It's not even like they just moved it somewhere else on the site. No, they removed it outright. There is literally no way to check what the barometric pressure is right now on The Weather Network. And you certainly don't get nice isobar maps or ANYTHING to do barometry, except when we "get a polar vortex." [sic] they might show how the jet stream is dipping down. If you want any real weather data, you have to go to the government's weather service, Environment Canada. I get that not everybody is interested in, or even understands isobar maps. But it's a weather channel ffs. The whole point of it is to post this stuff. Popularity should have nothing to do when informing the public of scientific information. So, those who made it through my long-winded rant, am I alone in noticing this trend? Or is this something which has happened to weather channels in other countries as well? I've watched clips from America's channel, The Weather Channel and tried the forecasts and current weather on the site and even though it was some years ago, I remember my general sense was that it was just as dumbed down as what The Weather Network is. If not, worse. I remember a couple of years ago when they tried giving names to winter storms (blizzards and ice storms etc) like they were hurricanes or something. And now that I think about it, I believe they tried the same thing in the UK as well, didn't they? In any case, that didn't seem to take very well, did it?

I'd agree with the trend, but I'd disagree with treating it as a trend with weather reporting specifically. The "dumbing down" of stuff has just been a persistent progression over the past while. (I'd wager decades, but it's hard to say because of how slowly it's happened) At the risk of sounding like a boomer who wants you to get off of his lawn, overtime people have just cared less and less about complex technical nuance in favour of sweet and simple "just fucking do the thing" answers. Even if those simple-solutions are objectively worse for them, people in general are still going to pick them because despite proclamations otherwise, people weight individual choice/freedom very low. (potentially even negatively) It's not really a weather-reporting thing, it's more of just a general societal thing. (maybe you could even argue it's a generational thing, but I'm not entirely convinced it can be pinned down to that either) For instance as much as people like to whinge about repairability now that it's trendy and demand legislation, they all kept buying non-repairable devices when given the choice. The reason there aren't many repairable options is *_because_* people didn't actually care and willingly bought them over alternatives. Sure, it may be better for them if they could repair them (or at the very least they believe that's the case) but when actually given the choice people just wanted something to work and, when it stopped working, they'd buy the new model. In fact this is still the case, while Rossman's early videos were very much "hey, Apple and companies like them are fucking you over, stop buying from them" over the past few years RtR has become a decidedly political push for politicians to solve the problem. Again, people don't actually care to make nuanced and intentioned buying decisions, they just want the problem to be simply 'solved'. While it *_used_* to be a push for individual education warning people to mind their purchases more, that's not the message people resonated with. The message people resonated with was "give your politicians the power to fix it for you" so that's the one that took hold. Over time people have just cared less and less about having the complete information and making decisions themselves, and have begun to prefer just having either no-choices or simpler-choices. As much as people idealize choice and these pro-individual values, the reality is they don't actually want them since it's more mental-overhead. There is definitely *_an_* argument to be made that "not everyone can be expected to know everything to make every small decision in life!", but if it isn't clear already it's still a perspective I find incredibly flawed. (realistically, that critique isn't an accurate portrayal of how things would work out. In-practice, no-one would need to do all of the analysis for themselves, they'd just be able to follow what other people who have done the analysis have said. It wouldn't take being a master of everything, it'd just take being a jack of all trades. You'd only need to know enough to know who knows enough, then listen to what they have to say and decide based on that.) I'm by no means saying that "this is what people pick, it's how the world ought to be", I'm saying "this is what people pick, this is why the world is how it is." Choices, and more specifically the responsibility to make good choices, *_are_* more work than not having to make choices at all, but that's sorta just part of being a functioning adult. The average person should have a good handful of things in life that they simply *_demand_* control over (e.g. : "no, I won't buy a car that I can't work on myself in my own garage, if you want me to buy anything from this dealership it's going to be a car I can fix myself", you don't need a 50% vote for overwhelming market pressure, even if less than 10% of the population cares it can still be well more than enough) so that society as a whole has that freedom, but overtime people have just cared less and less about having it so options have dwindled. As much as I'd like to say it's some intentional government choice to limit information or something, no; I think the answer is quite simply that so few people care they decided to not bother hosting the data anymore. It sucks to think that's the case but honestly I think it probably is.

There was a small point of comparing previous conditions with current conditions and using previous results as the forecast for current conditions.

When it comes to atmospheric soundings, these are done twice a day by NWS centers across the US to get readings of upper atmosphere thermodynamics and elements like CAPE which is also used in weather prediction. (also please comment if i got any of the information incorrect) anyways thank you for your amazing content.

Weather is a gestalt. It is a combination of many factors across a large region of space, that come together to produce a particular result in a particular place. Close-in weather predictions are easy, but long-term ones grow ever more confounded by the increasing uncertainty of the many factors involved -- aka, the Butterfly Effect! To meteorlogists' credit, the availability of better tools has improved their forecasting -- somewhat. It will never be perfect, though. Even now, it's not even close. 20 years ago, it was.. much less so! There has been progress. I still remember semi-fondly the "it's going to be just partly cloudy and dry" day forecast for Metro New Orleans back one day in early 1990 or so. By the end of that evening, 13" of rain had fallen on parts of the city after a whole day of thunderstorms training over a narrow corridor from WNW of New Orleans right through the city's heart. I recall parts of Jefferson Parish were still noticeably flooded even 3 weeks later.

I like how you ended this video. I have been thinking a lot about "can we and when will we actually do it. If we can find decent ways to seed rainfall in drought ridden area's and areas where the water levels, water ways, water table has become extremely low and bad on the entire ecosystem. I live in NW Oregon and surprisingly to some, it's not raining here as much as it used to all the rest of my life. We experienced the worst forest fires ever a year or 2 back and our temperate rainforests needs more rain and honestly want scientists to do anything they can to keep the ecosystem temperate and wet and mild temperature here. I don't want south California dry weather stuff going on here. No thank you. California can keep that. (But I'd like and hope them to use the rain science to improve their ecosystem their in California too. They badly need it.) ♻️🌎♻️👍🏼

Just look here in Australia... they flooded the same town twice in a matter of weeks... because it's in the way of some massive government project they want to build... it's been flooding before winter even come around... and the amounts of obvious cloud seeding in the sky, makes me wonder how dumb that society has become to not question that aeroplane flying around in circles leaving a trail behind it.. then all of a sudden 2 days later mass flooding and down pours

I guess someday we'll learn we can't control the weather the weather and climate control us. We may affect it, but not "control it" at least for now. Imagine what a weapon "weather control" would be if we had it, for example. I live in Arizona, and we run out of water often here, because, wait for it, it's a desert! Ancient folks tried to live here and were driven out because of extended drought, long ago, before "global warming" became a trendy thing. The word "deserted" came from the root "desert" (as in a place to leave). Otherwise, it's nice today, only in the 90's, bright sun, lots of good vitamin D for folks who need it, like in Scandinavia, stuff like that!! :D

You can use cloud seeding, however of its many issues the biggest one in my opinion is that it only works if you already have a lot of water vapor / humid air to work with. Which you generally don't have during a drought, and if you do there's a decent chance its going to rain anyways. I think we'd need a way to redirect wind to truly begin controlling the climate, I can think of some sci-fi ways to do it, and some brute force methods but no idea that's remotely feasible. If California took down the Sierra Nevada mountain range it would get a lot more rain for example.

You forgot about the Farmer's almanac. It may be old. But it's still works for anything past a week. Three to five days is all a computer model is really good for. They are chaotic in nature, and will blow up after a few days. Do not bedazzled by technology. Use what works best for a given situation.
