      That’s the kind of reaction almost every kind of engineer would have. But also, some sympathy for the rocket people that can’t afford to make measurements irrelevant.

    Al Roker was the weatherman in New York City, and three years ago we had a blizzard. We were supposed to have, according to Al, 4 to 12 inches of snow. That’s his prediction. We had 36 inches. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he was two feet off. THAT’S NOT EVEN IN THE BALLPARK! If you were a roofer and you built a roof and it was two feet off, you’d still be in prison.

      Monday: “It will rain on Saturday and Sunday.” (Makes no outdoor plans for the weekend)

      Wednesday: “It might rain on Saturday, it will rain on Sunday.” (Still no outdoor plans)

      Friday: “It will rain on Monday and Tuesday.” (Too late to make outdoor plans)

      Doesn’t rain for the entire month.

          Or you learn to smell it and feel it. But it’s not good for distant weather and the earlier you feel it the worse it’ll be. It’s a common skill in places with stupid amounts of weather like the American Midwest.

        No, it’s because Trump cut off access to data from weather satellites.

              The European weather models have also been overstating severe weather

              I really just think it’s as I said and nobody wants to be caught under predicting weather so they default to the worst values their models predict

                Similar to how the US started enforcing fines for late arrivals of airplanes. So the airlines just extended the “duration” of their flights to include the expected delays and now they’re “99.9% on time”. You can see this in action when the pilot says “well we’re waiting for something before we leave. It’ll be another 15 minutes but we’ll still get you there on time.”

        Climate change has increased the chance for extreme weather and made it harder to predict when it will actually happen. Those moments happened more when the models weren’t taking into account what climate change has done.

          I’ve seen the climate shift before my eyes too but I mean the specific storm predictions but not hurricanes tracking which has actually become very accurate

          The local storm predictions I will watch update in real time and dramatically reduce all their numbers as it comes in that it wasn’t the worst case scenario

          It’ll be “accurate” when it finally is the worst case scenario so nobody will be underprepared but it annoys me that it’s constant specific forecasting doom until it isn’t

        To be fair, weather predictions have gotten much more accurate in the past 20 years or so (however, whether that stays true now that things like the National Weather Service and NOAA have been defunded remains to be seen).
