Weather forecast. Tourist tips

Tourist tips

According to Paustovsky, in the last century, every year in the fall, old Turks came to Sevastopol. They sat in a coffee shop on the banks, drank coffee all day and watched the wind and clouds. In the evening, almost the whole city gathered there, fishermen, border guards, smugglers and customs officers came, in short, everyone who was somehow connected with the sea, and the Turks announced the weather forecast for the next year. They say that the accuracy of their forecast was better than today. Whether this is true or not, no one can tell. But the fact that with a certain training, any person can compete in hydrometeorological centers is beyond any doubt.

How to predict the weather? Perhaps the most common way is to turn on the radio and listen to the forecast, you can also look at the thermometer. In fact, it is not difficult - just look out the window.

That's enough for a city dweller. It is enough for him to find out whether he needs to take an umbrella and put on a jacket or not. Another thing is if you are alone, in the wild. Here, one cannot do without the elementary ability to predict weather changes for the near future. Therefore, here are useful, there will be some very general tips.

You need to develop the habit of constantly observing the nature around you.

At the same time, it should be remembered that weather predictions should be made only on the basis of a combination of signs, and the more signs indicate at the same time one or another weather, the more accurate your forecast will be.

Of course, weather worsening affects us the most, so let's start learning weather forecasting, namely from bad weather predictions.

When outdoors, remember:

If you want to know where bad weather can come from, stand with your back in the wind, weather worsening should only be expected on the left, and never on the right. Any cloud on the right does not bring any change in the weather

Clouds and wind are the surest signs of bad weather.

When a warm front approaches, the main harbingers of bad weather are high cirrus clouds. They can be seen at a distance of 100-200 km. They are 400-500 km ahead of the first precipitation, and pass 12-16 hours earlier than the clouds of the lower tier, from which rain or snow falls. True, you usually notice these clouds only when they are already above your head, and there is no more than noon before the rain.

Clouds in the form of small balls ("lambs") testify to the approach of a cold front.

Precipitation can be predicted by the nature of the cloudiness in no more than 3-5 hours. But it happens that a cloud appears so unexpectedly and moves so fast that it can be done in just 30-40 minutes. This is especially true for the summer period.

Those clouds that speak of a quick change in weather always appear at the very edge of the horizon, thickening on one side of it. Spread across the sky, they always remain densest on the side of the horizon where they first appeared.

Clouds randomly scattered across the sky are usually not harbingers of bad weather.

If the clouds have clear outlines, this means that they carry a lot of moisture or snow. And you can expect rain from them. Blurred, disintegrating clouds practically cannot bring any trouble.

The deterioration of the weather is preceded by the appearance of circles, halos around the sun and moon.

Knot-barometer - a small part of the trunk of a young spruce along with a branch, peel the branch from the bark. Attach its base to some support, leaving the branch free.

Before the rain, the branch descends, rises up to clear weather (~ 30 cm in length)

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Panasonic Virtual Yoga Coach 18.03.2020

Panasonic has introduced an interesting solution for a smart home - a virtual yoga trainer. It uses non-contact vital signs measurement systems, cameras, spatial sensors, projection technologies, and even an emotion recognition system (the latter is Panasonic's own development).

Outwardly, the solution looks rather unpretentious: a gray rug spread out in front of a dark wall in which cameras and sensors are mounted. It also projects the performance of a person and a three-dimensional image of his virtual coach. To start exercising, you need to comfortably stand on the mat and stand quietly for a few seconds, so that the system determines and issues user data and basic mood.

The cameras non-contactly monitor the pulse, the frequency and speed of blinking, the position of the eyebrows and mouth, body temperature. Based on the data obtained, the system determines the strength and modality of emotions experienced by a person - from complete dissatisfaction with oneself to extreme complacency and other states (fear, anxiety, irritation, discomfort, boredom, fatigue, relaxation, lightness, happiness, joy, etc.). The results are visualized as a diagram directly on the wall.

The system can then suggest a suitable training program based on the user's individual fitness level. A 3D image of a virtual trainer showing asanas will appear on the wall, as well as the user's own image. So, by repeating the exercises, a person will be able to see himself from the outside and, if necessary, correct his actions. At the same time, the system will constantly monitor the position of the body in space and evaluate the accuracy of performing the given asanas as a percentage.

Implemented non-contact tracking of the load (tension) on individual muscle groups. So that the user does not overstrain, the system will be able to constantly monitor and highlight areas on the virtual contour of his body that experience varying degrees of stress. Understanding visualization is simple: the higher the temperature of the color (from blue to red), the higher the load and risk. This will allow you to stop in time, as well as better control the implementation of exercises on certain parts of the body.
