7 weather warning signs your grandparents knew that meteorologists now confirm are accurate - Silicon Canals

Growing up outside Manchester, I spent countless summer holidays at my grandparents' farm in the Yorkshire Dales. My grandfather would step outside each morning, scan the sky, and announce with absolute certainty what the weather would do that day. No smartphone apps, no weather channel, just decades of observation. I used to think it was nonsense. How could watching birds or looking at clouds possibly compete with satellite technology? But here's the thing: he was almost always right.

Forget your weather app: 15 reliable meteorologists and other sources for accurate ice storm updates

If you've ever glanced at your phone's weather app to check the day's forecast or to help plan for an upcoming storm, you've probably run across a scenario where you see an outrageous forecast. It happened to me earlier this week when I noticed my app was predicting more than 13 inches of snow for the Charlotte, NC area. Not only would that be a historic storm, but it would also be fairly apocalyptic for an area where even an inch of snow is a rarity.

Pink fog descends over London: Unusual weather phenomenon gives capital an eerie glow

The skies were filled with a rare rose colour, which meteorologists at the Met Office have explained is due to sunlight passing through fine layers in the air, such as moisture or dust. Graham Madge, spokesperson for the Met Office, told the Daily Mail: When the sunlight comes through lots of layers, it filters out the blue and scatters it, leaving the red to come through, It's effectively a sunrise filtered through the atmosphere and through the fog, giving it that pinkish hue.
