Feeling a bit like Ichabod Crane walking around the Walmart Campus this morning.

Anyone know a way to integrate @GoogleDeepMind's Weather Lab with Gemini to produce a written summary of their experimental tropics forecast?

Imagine summer in Las Vegas on June 22nd and it's only 84°F and sunny after 2 PM In the afternoon -- should be around 100°F. Stunning weather courtesy of a cool Canadian trough

Would love to see this closer to 10%, 10%, and 80%. The same probably applies to many controversial topics.

1/3 of the feedback on here and on other platforms is angry that Jay had anything positive to say about vaccines. Another third is angry he felt some vaccines were not safe for some people. The other 1/3 seem happy to know it’s not a yes/no issue.



I love my @GoogleAI weather forecast, but I think Gemini should double check the math on time change. 8:35am sunrise in Rogers, AR? #arwx

Things seem to be moving fast so before we lock the clock to Daylight Savings, please consider that all the HEALTH data say we should lock the clock to Standard time. It is best for kids, adults and elderly. Happy to go toe-to-toe with anyone on this. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37858428/


This is an issue that will impact nearly everyone living in the US. I would love to see polling that indicates whether people stick to politics or is this issue unique enough it transcends political affiliation.

This makes great sense as it’s grounded in vast amounts of human data on circadian biology and mental health. Delighted to hear it!

Have to agree with this one. Especially if that walk eventually becomes a run alternated with some resistance training on non-run days. The sunlight thing is no weak sauce.

The highest ROI health habit you will implement is morning walk as the sun rises Mood enhances, increases alertness, circadian rhythm calibrated with two zeitgebers, complementary red light therapy, and an escape from the indoor prison Better than the Black Friday supplements

Just a reminder that there are 3 steps to winter weather: 1) Forecast models predict snow 2) Meteorologists predict snow 3) It actually snows #arwx
