I'm not sure if we're just getting used to the idea of more advanced weather forecasting systems... it feels like we're constantly trying to predict what's unpredictable.
I mean, 14 days in advance? That's a lot of information to process. Are we really ready for this level of detail?
It makes me think about how our perception of time changes when we have access to more accurate forecasts. Do we start to lose the excitement and uncertainty that comes with not knowing what the weather will be like tomorrow?
And it's interesting that they're using probabilistic forecasts now, which are supposed to make things more useful for making informed decisions. But do we really trust these systems enough? I feel like we're just trading one form of uncertainty for another.
The BBC partnership is a good sign, though... maybe this is the push we need to think about how weather forecasting fits into our daily lives in a way that's more holistic and less focused on individual outcomes.
