Reply to comment by jayrocksd in Why California is still in drought despite heavy rain and snow by bogdanelcs
The drought monitor is taking into account the lack of retained moisture in the soil. It takes years of good conditions to replenish the soil moisture. I think the estimate is 6 straight years of 150% precipitation to return to full normal.

The US drought monitor site they linked doesn’t seem to agree with their assertion that 99.3% of the state is abnormally dry or in drought.

Try Ventusky.com or the app by the same name. Loads quick and plenty of data. Pulls from different models across the globe.

Apple used to be famous for their interface design, but their new version of Weather put that concept to bed and smothered it with a pillow.

They had search results link to a private hospital group (since it was paid ads). However the group is shady to say the least and would also charge absurd amounts of money and so on. China has huge trust issues towards both what the government and private enterprise says. Let’s just say foreign companies are trusted more than a lot of the local companies, no matter how hard the government and local conglomerates try.

Data says Bing has over 14% of market share as another commentor shared so it turns out my experience was pretty accurate but thanks for your feedback!

Try CARROT. Expensive but you can replicate the exact UI.

If you view the source article you can interact with the map and zoom in on any region

If credit yep and it'd be quickly sorted, if debit you could literally report it to your bank as criminals stealing money off you because that's what it is. (depends on your country or where your account is of course)

Really good article.
Also now I know more specifically why I still go to the met office website all the time to check the weather, it does some of these things (and has for a long time).

I miss the API, they killed that off a while ago.
It was a free, super accurate weather API. I had my terminal setup to show me that weather on startup.

Thank you everyone for validating my continued mourning for Dark Sky. I’ve been using Carrot - vaguely close, but not close enough.

Hyperlocal weather on Google play uses what darksky became once appleized (weatherkit) It's ok. The radar feed is reminiscent of the original, but not what it was. I do like the hourly graph. It seems pretty accurate to actual.

Silly question. Wiith all these Wells, driven into the aquifer, Why don't they in times of flood, pump the flood water down into the aquaifer?
