Sky watching

This is the website I possibly visit most. That's right. The Bureau of Meteorology page. I like to check out the radar. It's exciting when there is rain.

I then compare my predictions back to mean sea level pressure charts like this:



It makes me feel happy when my predictions are right. And one day I'd like to learn how to draw and interpret aerological diagrams again, like this one:


How cool, right? I love the weather.
