Recent hype surrounding our weather serves as a reminder that long-range forecasts are anything but certain. A fun but educational way to think about long-range forecasts is a game of Plinko.
Like Plinko, there are more options for weather events 10-days out compared to just three days.It’s no secret that Canadians love to talk about the weather, and people sure were talking this past weekend.
Weather information is easier to access than ever before. You no longer need to wait for the morning paper or the supper-hour news to get a weather forecast. Social media is a tool being used to communicate the weather. It’s a great resource, especially for real-time information.For full transparency, I operated social media-based weather pages before my career with SaltWire and ongoing meteorology education. Still, I always strived to provide fair and factual weather.Over the weekend, social media exploded in Nova Scotia with forecasts from unverified sources that became widely shared.
The aim of this article is to educate, not put others down. If you take anything away from this, remember that weather is not a perfect science.If specific details are offered multiple days in advance, take it with a grain of salt.
