It's pretty much impossible to make reliable forecasts based on the data of a singular weather station. The initial data comes in from a variety of sources including satellites, radars, surface observation stations (weather stations) and upper air soundings around the globe. All of the above are maintained by public sector organizations who collaborate and share the data because the weather is an inescapably global thing. During WW2 the Germans actually set foot in Canada to set up a weather station in an attempt to spread the coverage of their observation network.
Nowadays all that data is used as inputs for numerical weather prediction models, running on supercomputers in the basements of meteorological institutes and agencies. Big global ones like ECMWF and GFS are used pretty much by all meteorologists around the world, who look at those and other smaller, more local models. They compare the different forecasts and critically evaluate the probabilities of different outcomes. They apply their own judgement selecting the most credible raw forecast and then edit that if needed. All in all, it's a very global effort.
At least where myself and @Kusimulkku@lemm.ee are from, meteorologists at the public broadcasting company (where that title is a requirement for getting the job) collaborate closely with their colleagues at the national meteorological institute. Their job is to comprehend the situation as presented by the institute, decide which bits of it are important, and then boil that down into a smooth and easy to understand presentation.
If a weather reporter isn't an actual meteorologist, then there is an actual meteorologist behind the scenes who made the presentation for the reporter to present.
Croatia sang about urbanisation and the decline of the countryside.
Israel was 100% a political show no elaboration needed there.
Finland sang about no rules - anarchism.
Serbia was anti war, which is also a political position.
Then there's all the feminist and queer themes like with Ukraine, Spain and Switzerland. Arguably not political, but then again neither should be Palestinians deserving human rights.
And these are just what comes to mind off the top of my head.
I think there's a distinction between "electrocuted" and "electrocuted to death". Same as with "stabbed" vs. "stabbed to death" or any other such verb that can, but may not necessarily result in death.
You should know that this wasn't a solar flare, but a coronal mass ejection. Look that up instead. No, it's nothing too bad either. The one in 1859 was a big one and some people got electrocuted at telegraph stations, but this ain't like that.
Not a solar flare but a coronal mass ejection. And while the subsequent G5 geomagnetic storm can do damage to various technological systems, it shouldn't be anything too bad.
Tässä ilmeisesti esitetään talouskasvun asettamista hyvinvoinnin edelle. Vaikka nämä kaksi mielletään kulkevan käsi kädessä, ei se läheskään aina niin mene. Onko amerikan meininki oikeasti millään lailla toivottavaa meille tänne? Onhan siellä kaiken maailman pöhinää (melkein naurahdin kun artikkelissa mainittiin rahoitusteknologia), mutta tämä pöhinä mitä ilmesimmin ei auta tavallisen tallaajan toimeentuloa. Normaalien ihmisten palkat on kuraa, asuntojen hinnat ja vuokrat on todella monen saavuttamattomissa poliittisen ja rikkaan eliitin vehkeillessä kulisseissa valta-asemiansa pönkittääkseen.
Mutta toki jos kysytään taloustieteilijöiltä, The Financial Timesiltä tai IfW:ltä, niin vastaus on selvä että kaikkipyhä talouskasvu jyrää kaiken muun edelle...
Usually when there's a headline, yes. But 545 million miles is almost six times the distance from the Earth to the Sun. That is a very large distance even in this context.
Private weather station?
