I know we probably have enough visualisations of #StormÉowyn/#StormEowyn now but as @metoffice.bsky.social don't upload their #4cast here yet, I thought I'd have a go.

I spent SO long on the pressure markers but I think the precipitation map looks better without them AND it renders like three times faster...
I'm sure I'll find a use for them.

I've waited for years for the ECMWF opendata to have snow, but it's a bit of a pain it's total snow

'Why does my rain look funny?'
It's because I was plotting wind.

And I never want to code a pressure centre tracking algorithm that works half decently in animation ever ever again

ECMWF with a casual 200cm of snow over the Cairngorms by next week (there is already about 130cm).

You have no idea how long I've wanted to have my own animated wind streamline code.
The last time I tried to do this was pre-LLM and I gave up after a week, and I know they're controversial but as an AID to coding they can be extremely powerful.

Grazalema, Spain, received over 2,000 mm (78 inches) of rain in just the last 20 days.
Over a year’s worth of rain — and it’s only early February. This is hydrologically absurd.

Feel like the rain hasn’t stopped? ☔
For some places, it really hasn’t! 😦
North Wyke, Cardinham and Astwood Bank have recorded rain every single day so far this year 🌧️

Wondering where the sunshine has gone?
Spare a thought for northeast Scotland; Aberdeen Dyce hasn't recorded any sunshine since 21 January! This is provisionally the longest sunless period here since records began in 1957 ☁️

Hot take: don't think the amber snow warning should have included Aberdeen City tomorrow

I want to be smug about my snow situation but then I remember I have to dig the car out for the fourth time in five days
