You’ve certainly noticed like me that lately, while showers and clouds were predicted, you could put away the umbrella since a great sun finally flooded the day (well, especially, if you live in Lyon<\/a> rather than Paris 😉 ).<\/p>\n

How to explain these mysterious weather twists?<\/p>\n

The fault of Covid-19<\/a>, once again…<\/p>\n

Indeed, before the pandemic, 80% of weather forecasts were reliable at six days.<\/p>\n

Since then, it is extremely complex for meteorologists to provide reliable forecasts over three days…<\/p>\n

Why is this so?<\/p>\n

This lack of reliability is mainly due to the drop in air traffic since March 2020.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If migratory birds<\/a> – which share air and ground space with airplanes to land, rest, refuel and fly away – are happy with this situation, it is not the same for meteorologists…<\/p>\n

What has airplanes got to do with weather, you may ask?<\/p>\n

In fact, weather forecasts are made in several ways: weather satellites, hydrogen-filled weather balloons sent 30 km above the ground, sensors on ships at sea… and data collection by aircrafts. This is precisely where the problem lies: aircrafts are the sentinels of the weather… However, as air traffic has collapsed by 66% in 2020, it has dragged down the weather forecast!<\/p>\n

Since 2001, the association of European meteorological services (Eumetnet<\/a>) has been collecting and monitoring data from volunteer airlines for Europe within the Amdar<\/a> (Aircraft Meteorological Data Relay) project launched in 1995 by the WMO (World Meteorological Organization<\/a>). To enrich their data on the state of the atmosphere at altitude, meteorologists use onboard sensors to measure pressure, temperature and wind. These measurements are taken every ten seconds during take-off and landing.<\/p>\n

No take-off, no landing, no measurement…<\/p>\n

Normally, 700,000 high quality observations are provided every day… With the decrease of air traffic, the algorithms delivered by the planes are less numerous and the forecasts consequently less reliable…<\/p>\n

The Covid-19 has a real impact on the weather. So it seems wise to have a plan B if you are planning a barbecue party in the next ten days … until the air traffic resumes normally![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
