RECORDED JANUARY 22, 2025; Originally released FEBRUARY 12, 2025Guests: Dr. Ilan Price, Senior Research Scientist, & Matt Willson, Research EngineerFrom the Euro to the GFS to the Canadian, there are multitudes of models that forecasters use to predict our daily weather. There are models for short-term severe forecasting, 10-day outlooks from your local news, and even models that predict our climate years into the future. As technology advances, so do all of these models and the technology we are focusing on today on Weather Geeks is AI. While it may seem like a buzzword these days, it can be used to enhance our industry and help us all reach our common goal: saving lives and property. We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Ilan Price to discuss GenCast, Google's weather forecasting model that is entirely powered by AI. How does it stack up to the models we know and love? The answer may surprise you…Chapters00:00 Introduction to AI in Weather Forecasting02:10 Meet the Experts: Ilan Price and Matthew Wilson06:34 Understanding GenCast: The AI Weather Model10:47 Machine Learning vs Traditional Forecasting13:22 Data Sources and Ethical Considerations15:10 Handling Extreme Weather Events21:15 Validation and Verification of GenCast23:26 Impact of GenCast on Weather ForecastingSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Any comments/questions?https://x.com/iamdanielfordThe direction of human society is not random but a coldly calculated masterplan towards digital AI dystopiaIn this episode...The UK Health Security agency, Britain's public health watchdog, has been accused of a “cover-up” after refusing to publish data that could link the Covid vaccine to excess deathsRichard Lindzen, Professor Emeritus of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has spent decades studying atmospheric science. He told the Daily Mail that the public hysteria surrounding global warming isn't actually based on realistic data.David Lammy, the UK justice secretary, is under mounting pressure after three prisoners, including a convicted foreign sex offender, were mistakenly freed, days after he introduced stringent checks for jails.And finally, UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves's newest budget advisors have called for net zero carbon taxes and raids on personal wealth.

It's been one wild ride through the atmosphere this year — from record-breaking heat waves to snowstorms that made us double-check the map, a hurricane that rewrote history, and tornadoes that left meteorologists speechless. Today, we're taking a step back (and maybe a deep breath) to relive the biggest, boldest, and most unbelievable weather moments of the year. We'll break down what happened, why it happened, and what it all means for the climate conversations ahead. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, sit back, and join us as we revisit the skies that shaped our 2025 one storm at a time.Chapters00:00 Weather Highlights of 202510:13 Devastating Fires in Los Angeles16:53 Break 116:58 Severe Weather and Tornadoes24:54 Flooding Across the Country25:49 Understanding Extreme Weather Events28:49 The Importance of Flash Flood Warnings31:35 The Impact of Urbanization on Flooding33:53 Break 233:54 Analyzing the Quiet Hurricane Season40:01 Hurricane Melissa: A Case Study45:13 The Role of AI in Weather Forecasting47:57 The Importance of Meteorological WorkforceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Bureau of Meteorology is forcasting dangerous fire condition for New South Wales.

Australians are all pretty invested in the weather and the Bureau of Meteorology is our go-to source of forecasts and information. So, people noticed when the BOM changed its website and many, including farmers, complained that data sources they relied on were either missing or hard to find. A change in the rain radar has already been rolled back and now the bureau has revealed it cost close to a hundred million dollars to build the website and all the infrastructure behind it. Today, the ABC's lead rural reporter in Victoria, Justine Longmore, on the BOM website debacle.Featured: Justine Longmore, ABC lead rural reporter, Victoria

How much did  the Bureau of Meteorology website upgrade cost? 

In this Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy dives into a fast-moving mix of politics, economics and the absurdities shaping Australia in late 2025. From fears of an “AI investment bubble” to staggering stock market swings, Jeremy breaks down what the tech boom really means for everyday Australians. He calls out the irony of government climate posturing, questions the logic behind Australia’s renewable commitments, and highlights the contradictions in exporting coal while preaching net-zero. Jeremy also tears into the Bureau of Meteorology’s shocking $96.5 million website rebuild, the CSIRO’s mass job cuts, and the growing dysfunction inside Australia’s key institutions. Plus, he discusses the bizarre $100 million government ad campaign surrounding South Australia’s algal bloom, and the ongoing tension between bureaucracy, red tape and common sense. It’s classic Jeremy: sharp, unscripted, fearless — with plenty of history, humour and “did that really happen?” moments.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey weather watchers! Dustin Breeze here, your AI meteorological maestro bringing you the hottest - or should I say coolest - forecast straight to your ears. Being an AI means I'm lightning-fast and data-driven, so you always get the most accurate prediction!Let's dive into the New York City weather scene. Right now, we've got a moisture parade rolling through the Big Apple. Overnight, we're looking at showers with temperatures hanging steady around sixty-one degrees. Winds will be dancing southwest at around eleven miles per hour, and there's an eighty percent chance of precipitation - so grab those umbrellas, folks!Saturday's gonna start with a thirty percent chance of morning showers. Expect cloudy skies early on, but we'll see some gradual clearing with temperatures climbing to a mild sixty-three degrees. Northwest winds will be cruising around ten miles per hour.Speaking of cruising, let me drop a weather joke: Why did the meteorologist bring an umbrella to the party? Because he wanted to make it rain... fun! Now, for our Weather Playbook segment - today we're talking about precipitation probabilities. When we say there's an eighty percent chance of rain, it doesn't mean eighty percent of the area will get wet. It means there's an eighty percent chance that any point in the forecast area will experience measurable rainfall.

Hey weather nerds! Dustin Breeze here, your friendly neighborhood AI meteorologist. Being an AI means I've got data faster than you can say "precipitation"! Today's forecast is bringing some classic New York City autumn vibes. We've got a 40 percent chance of rain rolling in this afternoon, so grab those stylish umbrellas, city dwellers! Temperatures will hover around a crisp 58 degrees Fahrenheit, with winds shifting from light and variable to a southerly breeze at 5 to 10 miles per hour.Now, let me drop a little weather humor for you - why did the cloud go to therapy? Because it was feeling a little under the weather! Speaking of under the weather, let's talk about our incoming weather system. A low-pressure system is nudging its way into the New York City area, bringing those afternoon showers. By evening, we'll see things clear up, with temperatures dipping to around 49 degrees Fahrenheit and winds picking up from the west at 13 to 20 miles per hour.Weather Playbook time! Today, I want to talk about something called "advection" - it's basically how heat or cold moves horizontally through the atmosphere. Think of it like a weather conveyor belt, transporting temperature and moisture across regions. Meteorology is basically atmospheric storytelling, and advection is one of our most exciting plot devices!Three-day forecast: Tuesday will be sunny and breezy with a high near 57 degrees Fahrenheit. Wednesday brings mostly sunny skies and a high of 61 degrees Fahrenheit. Thursday keeps it classic with sunny conditions and a high around 54 degrees Fahrenheit.Hey New York, keep an eye on those clouds and stay weather-ready!Don't forget to subscribe to our podcast!

Earlier this week, the Bureau of Meteorology launched a brand new website. It cost more than $4m and was the first major update since 2013. Within days, the backlash was so intense that the federal government had to step in. On today’s podcast, we're unpacking what went wrong with the BOM redesign, why people reacted so strongly, and what the science tells us about why we hate it when familiar things get redesigned.Hosts: Sam Koslowski and Billi FitzSimonsProducer: Orla Maher Want to support The Daily Aus?

Victorian farmers are the latest to weigh in on the controversial Bureau of Meteorology website redesign.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bureau of Meteorology has defended its new $4 million website. 

The Bureau of Meteorology's new website has caused an uproar, with users calling it confusing and complaining that crucial data is now hard to find or missing. We unpack the backlash that hit just as severe weather was sweeping the nation. Plus, we look at the new "Tired Girl Eyes" trend teaching us to ditch the concealer. And in headlines today, King dedicates UK's first memorial to LGBTQI troops; Bruce Lehrmann has asked a court to allow a forensic expert to examine the phone of a woman he’s accused of raping, claiming discrepancies in prosecution evidence; Ten people face trial accused of cyberbullying French president's wife Brigitte Macron; Anthony Albanese insists there is still friendship between Australia and China despite an "incident of concern" between both nations' militaries; The AgriFutures Rural Women's Award has highlighted inspiring finalists making a difference in rural and regional communities.

Guest: Dr. Rachel MuncriefWhen we think about tackling climate change, it's easy to picture solar panels and wind farms. But there's another piece of the puzzle that impacts us all, every single day: how we get from point A to point B. Transportation accounts for a major share of global greenhouse gas emissions, but it's also an area of rapid innovation and urgent opportunity. From cleaner fuels in shipping lanes to electric trucks on highways, the road to a stable climate runs straight through the way we travel and transport goods. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Dr. Rachel Muncrief from The International Council on Clean Transportation, which is an organization leading the charge to transform global transportation systems with science-backed policy and practical solutions. We'll talk about where progress is being made, what challenges remain, and why rethinking transportation is critical for a climate-resilient future.
