I’m staying in Mission Beach and some of the side streets here have two feet of water on them at high tide. Coastal flood warning until Thursday.

Texas weather getting spooky just before Halloween.

I remember there were a couple days in the early 90s where we had steady 70mph winds. There was no storm activity, it was sunny with blue skies. I hope somebody has knowledge of a database that can be filtered for wind and can pinpoint the days this happened.

Ballina NSW, Australia. Stood there staring at it for half an hour. It was completely silent. Ive seen alot of storms but nothing like this.

The weather has been pretty stormy lately where I live and I was laying in bed with the lights off whilst it was raining. My windows went totally bright white with light as if the lightning was really close by. This would have been normal but at the same time I heard an audible zap/fizz and saw white sparks almost like a bolt of light (maybe a foot long) on my ceiling - instantly I thought by the sound that a lightbulb had blown out but there are no lights on my ceilings and the closest electric appliance is the air conditioning and the wiring running along the adjacent wall.

Is this a cause for concern and what does this mean?

Get ready for a mostly sunny and warm day! With temperatures reaching a cozy 72 degrees and a light breeze from the west-northwest at 5-10 mph, it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy some time outside. Don’t miss out on this beautiful weather!

Well we're getting further from the sun. 2 celsius feels like -2 celcius

My wife loves all things weather, especially storms. She hasn’t yet really gotten into the scientific side of it but I think she might if given the opportunity. I think she’d find a weather station really cool and interesting. Are there any that aren’t hundreds of dollars but are still pretty cool? I think our 8.5 year old would also get a kick out of it (and would like being able to check on weather related things without asking to look at our phones)

I was looking at things like this https://a.co/d/0iUNM7kz or maybe https://a.co/d/07Yl4iix
but idk. Also obviously if it’s not accurate it’s sort of pointless so of course I don’t want to get something that’s essentially a toy and doesn’t give good info.

Also I’d take any other gift ideas! She really likes storms and tornados in particular.

Currently I am reading the NWS Raleigh Area Forecast Discussion every day and look up terms as I come across them.

I’ve connected my Tempest to https://zenithweather.com that I’ve been building so I can compare my backyard observations against NWS forecasts and learn more about radar.

Bookwise I’m currently reading The Cloudspotter’s Guide and Essentials of Meteorology is next on my list.

Curious what everyone else does to learn this stuff. Any recommendations?

Saw this wild looking cloud drift over in an otherwise clear sky tonight in central Indiana. The streaks/ribbons extended out across the sky behind it. (The bright light in the second photo is the moon and apparently I need to clean my camera lens) Any idea what kind of cloud this is or what caused it?

I should have posted this at the time (I am really bad at procrastinating)

This was taken at this spot in central Chile while riding a bus. I am curious if anyone has seen anything like it before or knows if it has a specific name. A friend of mine suggested it might be a Kelvin-Helmholtz wave cloud, though it doesn't quite look the same.
