With global interest in the #aurora last week, don't forget that, for those in the high to mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere, this week marks the typical start of the #noctilucent clouds season.
You'll need to stay up late. Due to night-long twilight, NLC are visible from around 23:30UT to 03UT. The early morning period is the most likely to yield displays.
For the first week or two, displays may be unimpressive. But they will soon grow into midsummer.

Disappointment in Barnsley as what was first thought to be Northern Lights, turns out to be Vauxhall Nova on fire.
An unprecedented wildfire season in Canada last year made headlines as smoke spread across major cities in North America. What do meteorologists expect in 2024?
Wetterphänomene beobachten, den #Wind studieren - immer wieder spannend.
Wie der #Jetstream um die #Erde weht, einfach ein unglaubliches (alltägliches) Ereignis.
Mali is among the countries currently suffering extreme heat with some areas hit by a temperature of 48,5°C, has recorded more than 100 deaths, victims of the heat wave. Malian meteorologists say the city Southwestern di Kayes recorded the hottest day in African history on April 4, 2024....
#Ventusky says yesterday’s map indicating massive waves off Africa were in error due to model error of the German Meteorological Service. The error has been found, and the model corrected. #DeutscherWetterdienst#DWD#map#meteorology
#Montreal smog warning, just in time for a current events discussion. An inversion, I think (air doesn't get cooler the higher you go), trapping exhaust and smoke near the ground...
It's a little unsettling to wake up and discover that God has aimed a thousand-kilometer-long SuperSoaker right at you. What covenant did we violate this time?? 😁🌧️
I've never seen colors like these on a Windy precipitation map before. And rain is indeed hammering down relentlessly here in #SantaMonica#California. It's expected to be worse tomorrow. I'm glad I live near the crown of a low hill, and that nearby streets are draining well so far. I hope everybody under this storm is staying safe, warm, and dry.

This is the official account from the Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility (OSI SAF). OSI SAF is the dedicated center from @eumetsat for processing and distributing #satellite observation of the #oceans.
The OSI SAF team focuses on #SeaWind, #SeaIce, #SeaSurfaceTemperature and radiative fluxes of the oceans.
The OSI SAF products are open access and range from near real-time observations to climatological data records, and my be used by anyone interested in #meteorology or #climate sciences.

Swiss physicist, geologist, and early Alpine explorer Horace Bénédict de Saussure died #OTD in 1799.
He is often called the founder of alpinism and modern meteorology, and considered to be the first person to build a successful solar oven. He is also considered one of the founders of mountaineering. His research took place in the Alps, particularly in the Mont-Blanc massif.
Obsessed by the measurement of meteorological phenomena, Saussure invented and improved many kinds of apparatus, including the magnetometer, the cyanometer for estimating the blueness of the sky, the diaphanometer for judging the clarity of the atmosphere, the anemometer and the mountain eudiometer. Of particular importance was a hair hygrometer that he devised and used for a series of investigations on atmospheric humidity, evaporation, clouds, fogs and rain.
#nz devs: do we have a free API for current weather conditions? I'm trying to modify xfce's weather applet to use a service that is more accurate for us than met.no appears to be.
I know of Metservice's 3-hourly coded data, but it's useless (you have to load a whole webpage and run javascript to see it).
I’m honored that Science reviewed my new book of science history and memoir, “Transient and Strange”… finding it “wry, charming, informative, and, indeed, sometimes strange”
