• Russia claims radioactive cloud moving toward Western Europe

  To check current patterns, I recommend windfinder.com, it gives a very nice view on direction and strength of winds from global down to local scale. Source: 11 months ago

• How to plan swims and currents/waves in a new area?

  A swimmer asked me the exact same question after I gave a talk recently on open water swimming around the Greek island of Crete. I start from Google Earth to measure the distances and check windfinder.com for the local wind conditions and forecasts. However, as I say in Crete Swim, "Avoid wishful thinking. Your swimming conditions are not what they are “supposed to be”—they are nothing more or less than what is... Source: 12 months ago

• What is the most interesting website that you know of but that many people don't seem to know about?

  For no bullshit weather forecast: windfinder.com. I learned about it when I learned sailing. But since then I started using it as my standard weather website, because it gives you precise by-the-hour forecast for the next couple days without all the bullshit you have on usual weather websites.

• Swimming off Greek islands

  Naxos should be nice! In July and August there may be days with strong winds from the north/northwest. The flatter water to swim in will be from beaches that are south-facing. You can check the current wind and forecasts at windy.com or windfinder.com. Often (but not always) the mornings are calmest and the wind will build in strength during the day. You might even be tempted to learn windsurfing or kitesurfing... Source: about 1 year ago

• January- February

  Greater Cleveland usually is excellent at removing snow and treating roads, and snow storms are much less frequent, with thaws very rapid these days. Again, check accuweather.com for daily temperatures in 2023 for those days you plan on being in Cleveland. Source: 4 months ago

  Check accuweather.com for January and February of 2023. Weatherspark.com also offers monthly and even daily climate histories. Source: 4 months ago

• Moving to Cleveland from California beginning of 2024

  Here's a useful thread for preparing for northern Ohio winters. Top suggestions IMO: drive more slowly and allow more time for travel in those now limited days with snowy, icy conditions, going is easy, stopping is hard; watch out for black ice when walking or driving; get thinsulate gloves, shoes/boots with good winter traction, knit caps, a couple zip-up hoodies for easy layering; good all season tires (check...

• Do YSU's new president and board of trustees support S.B. Bill 83?

  Shouldn't all YSU students be taught why 5 percent of Canadian forests were destroyed by wildfires in 2023, an area much greater than the land area of the state of NY, and about the resulting health impacts of flooding northern Ohio with high levels of fine particle pollution? How many Youngstown residents know that fine particle pollution in northern Ohio far exceeds the EPA's annual limits? (You can check... Source: 5 months ago

• Visiting downtown Cleveland in January can be a relative bargain

  I would visit Edgewater Park, Wendy Park and the Cleveland Lakefront Nature Preserve to experience Lake Erie in winter. Be prepared to dress warmly in layers, but you also might find surprisingly good weather. Check out accuweather.com for Cleveland temperatures in January 2023. The accuweather.com forecast a week out should be relatively reliable, so pay attention to cancellation fees in the unlikely... Source: 5 months ago
