In the aftermath of the Berlin Senate hack, the official online business registration portal still has a page header that says "SenWTF" Let's see if the residence permit organ of the same body accepts my PDF print of my record's output. 🤪

the weather station data is not aggregated often enough to update the weather apps on the really startling speed with which this heatwave has rolled in today in Berlin. 11:20 -> 31.3°C 11:50 -> 33.9°C (but the apps still say 31°C) p.s.: It was 20°C at 7:00 12:00 and apps still not updated to 34°C

Here is mine. I built not only the webapp, but an entire data acquisition and processing backend (calculating my own WBGT Index (dotted line) based on the algo from the Japanese research paper used by JA Ministry of the Environment 😅), a dedicated meteorological data library (OOPHP),…

"A WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) reading of 32°C represents a high-risk environment that puts humans in extreme danger of thermal injury. It is commonly used as a strict safety threshold where heavy exertion must be modified, and mandatory rest and hydration breaks are enforced."
Weather forecast screenshot showing a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius, an apparent temperature of 41 degrees Celsius, and 20 percent humidity. The Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) index is 32, labeled as Danger. Below the current conditions is a two-day line graph for Saturday, June 27, and Sunday, June 28, illustrating diurnal temperature fluctuations ranging between overnight lows of 22 to 25 degrees Celsius and daytime highs of 38 to 40 degrees Celsius.

"Estimation of wet-bulb globe temperature using generally measured meteorological indices" – Masaji Ono, Michihiko Tonouchi www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/seik... #WBGT
We have been measuring globe temperature continuously at meteorological stations in six cities in Japan from 2007 with the cooperation of Japan Meteorological Agency. From the analysis of data observed at those stations for three years, 2007-2009, we propose a wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) estimation equation using only generally and widely measured meteorological indices; they are dry-bulb temperature (Ta), relative humidity (RH), solar radiation (SR) and wind speed (WS). In addition to these, we used following two indices; they are product of dry-bulb temperature by relative humidity (TaxRH) and square of solar radiation (SR').
We obtained the WBGT estimating equation, and it can be applied for different years and for different cities with very small bias. Using this equation, we can estimate WBGT with 1.0°C or less bias with 98.3~99.8% confidence for six cities and for three years.

lol not lol… my meteogram generator just broke because I hadn't defined a color for temps above 40°C…

There are 2m snowbanks in the city (on the bay, so sea level). The guides on the mountain are saying they have never seen so much snow. 2 weeks ago we were still dodging bushes, now we're having to go around tree tops. And it keeps coming down…

#Vectorialism explains what is happening with AI very neatly. The "vectors of information" are the "power commodity" of the era (capital in capitalism, land in feudalism, slaves in classical). Understand that, and it becomes clear. /cc @mckenziewark.bsky.social
