What mph wind speed will evaporate sweat?

Eg if you were sat inside with doors closed and then opened doors, and temperature and humidity inside and outside roughly the same, what mph wind speed would create a non minor difference in sweat evaporation when opening up the doors compared to when doors closed?

Weather Datasets

Hello everyone, I'm working on a research project and I'm trying to find sources where I can find the following data:

  • Max Temp
  • Min Temp
  • Avg Temp
  • Precipitation
  • Humidity
  • Solar Irradiance
  • Wind Speed

It would really be helpful if I could find data based on 15 min, 30 min, or 1 hour intervals. Thank you so much in advance for any suggestion!

Circles of lower snows on these volcanic areas, nuclear plants, whatever?

Hi guys! I am not a weather expert, I just like the data that comes out of forecast models.

I am european, and today I was curiosed so I looked at the height of the snow in North America from a website(windy.com) that seems really cool and has many models for forecast in Europe.

Here's the question: why does it seem like there are really huge circles in Canada of lower heights of snow? Are those areas hotter?

Models used:

First pic is from ICON model (it has rounder and bigger circles in light and dark blue); second is from ECMWF.

Weather Product Development Survey

Hello everyone,

I am a UX/UI designer who is doing research for a startup to identify the types of behaviours and motivations that people have when checking the weather forecast, as well as to gauge interest levels for a product-in-development.

If you could spare 2-3 minutes of your time to fill out our survey, that would be greatly appreciated!

All of the responses we receive will be kept anonymous and confidential.

Thank you and stay safe!

Attn Windy android users. Help appreciated for school assignment survey.

Hi all, currently taking an app design course, and have created this survey as part of an app usability write up for my assignment. I have chosen the Windy.com android mobile app. So if anyone has used this app in the past 6 months I would greatly appreciate the help. Takes genuinely only about 5 minutes, maybe even less.

Survey is accessible via this link. And all information is in the form. If you have any questions, my contact info is also included, or feel free to pm me.

https://forms.gle/KF6shLqWkKefTPWV7

Thanks so much!

Take care and stay safe these holidays. <3

What was this light I saw in the sky in 2014? Sorry the pic is heavily edited- 2014 insta fads were the worst. The light never moved but I don’t think I saw it once the sun went down.

Looking for a weather forecaster

Hello all,

I'm looking for a good, or rather, the best weather information provider. I want a service with a website and preferably an app as well that I can use to get all the weather information I need. It is okay if it is paid and even if it costs a couple euros a month. I would like to get basic data like rain, could coverage, temperature and wind speed, but advanced data would be appreciated as well. Do you guys now a good weather service that can give me this for Europe or even better, most of the world?

Or should I just install the first weather app I can find and doesn't it really matter which one I pick cause they are all about as accurate?

RIP Ridge I NWS CONUS Radar

After more than 10 years, the original RIDGE I radar web page is being updated and replaced. I don't know if anyone else used it, but it was my go-to because it was fast and animated, often more accurate than other sites.

RIDGE I looked like this

Now replaced with RIDGE II which is much slower, but much more detailed.

Just a little memorial to a page I visited daily for 10 years!

Edited for an updated RIDGE II address.

OK nerds I need your wind chill math nerdery

You're sitting in an on the top of a mountain current temps are -40 and you have a wind gust of 175mph.

What is the actual wind chill value during that gust I simply can't calculate it and all the wind chill calculators can't handle those high of values.

-40F and 60mph winds produce a wind chill value of -91F

I know it's below -100F but is there at a point at which windchill values become irrelevant because you're pretty much dead?

So how cold is -40 with 175mph winds actually?

Hey All, Hope You Are Enjoying this Sub

Hey weather enthusiast guys/gals,

It's been over a year since I started this sub. I honestly didnt think many people would join, so thank you to each of our ~100 members, you rock.

I wanted a place where you can discuss your favorite weather/climate phenomena. So with that let's talk. What interests you about weather?

One of my main interests is the annual temperature cycle, and how it lags behind insolation (i.e. Late July hottest time of year). In the desert southwest, we reach the coolest time of year right around the winter solstice (Dec 21) even though the hottest time of year (Jul 25 for Las Vegas) lags 1 month behind peak insolation. Why this asymmetry in the temp cycle?

I can post some sources for these claims, but I wanna hear more what interests you guys.

I live in the Memphis area and can get 162.475, but not 162.000 (Booneville area)? Explain, because I can get 162.550 which is a South Carolina area.
