• Reliable pronunciation guide

  Oh and for anyone who doesn't know yet - there is this website https://forvo.com/ which has a lot of audio recordings from native speakers. You can search for a single word or a full phrase. It really helped me with Korean and German when I had doubts:). Source: 6 months ago

• Use YouTube to improve your English pronunciation

  Another useful site for hearing pronunciations is Forvo: https://forvo.com/ Those are user contributed pronunciations, so there was an effort to say the word clearly.

That would be a good resource to check daily weather conditions to see if I80 is a safe option. Weather conditions can change quickly, and honestly there might be some days where I40 has worse weather than I80 since these things can be fairly localized. I'd say just check conditions before you leave and... Source: 6 months ago

• Advice for weather station? Building a DIY desktop station.

  Windy.com looks pretty cool. But just wondering if there is one specifically made to be a "weather station". Source: 8 months ago

• Good Bay Area microclimate weather app?

  The Windy app lets you choose from 5 models. It's also usable at https://windy.com . Learned about this app from KPIX meteorologist Darren Peck, who sometimes uses it during his on-air segments. Source: 9 months ago

• Why are air quality "readings" of Winnipeg so hopelessly wrong so often?

  Here's a reading Aug 15 at 6:19pm. Well the air outside absolutely sucks today. Filled with smoke. Going on windy.com and clicking air quality, then PM2.5 we see a huge cloud coming down from the north and of course we have a north wind today. There are 2 huge fires in northern Alberta. https://www.windy.com/-PM2-5-pm2p5?cams,pm2p5,55.553,-100.327,5,m:fcAadg7. Source: 10 months ago
