is it raining over there?
Aug. 14th, 2005 04:49 pmRain has been a part of (literally) everyday life for these 3 weeks in Amsterdam. Shouldn't there be a way to tell what time it will begin to rain and what time it will stop?
I wish weather sites would show me precipitation graphs with approximately hourly resolution.
Also, do you ever notice that while you can forecasts up to a week ahead, you can't see aftercasts (backcasts?)? I'd like to see these forecasts evaluated against what actually happened. Maybe these websites are trying to keep up an illusion of infallibility.
In the spirit of the Wikipedia, I'd like to see amateur weather stations sharing their measurements in a central place where we can compare them.
