Extreme heat coupled with humidity will make it feel like 109 degrees Fahrenheit as the holiday weekend approaches.

We run a prime directive on this stack: if a usable tool already exists, improve it; build our own only as a last resort, and when you keep your own, record why each alternative failed. This post is that audit for weather-mcp — a marine-weather MCP server — against the weather-MCP ecosystem, and the one capability change that fell out of it. The short version: three perfectly good weather MCP servers exist, and none of them does the thing a navigator actually needs. The reasons generalize to any "adopt an MCP server or keep your own" call, so the audit is the post. Then the fix — parsing a second NDBC file format to split swell from wind waves — is small enough to paste in full, and it surfaced data the standard file had thrown away. The problem, as you'd search it You want an agent to answer "what are the seas doing where we are?" and you go looking for a marine weather MCP. You find a few. Each one returns a forecast . None of them returns what a buoy 12 nautical miles away is measuring right now . That gap — forecast vs. observed — is the entire job, and it's the one thing the ecosystem skips. Here's what's on the shelf, and what each one is missing for marine use. The candidates Three real servers, all worth your time for what they're built for: cmer81/open-meteo-mcp ~13 tools, raw Open-Meteo JSON straight through weather-mcp/weather-mcp ~12 tools, own format, global; marine = Open-Meteo RyanCardin15/NOAA-Tides...

From a wet winter in the Southwest to fewer Atlantic hurricanes, this is what to expect as a potential super El Niño takes shape.

The old app "still needs to be retired," AcuRite tells us.

Alt Carbon said the agreement followed more than a year of scientific review and due diligence, with Microsoft requiring additional verification and data-sharing measures.

We are exploring an experimental blockchain mechanism called "Proof of Weather" In the world of blockchain, various methods are used to achieve network consensus. The most well-known is Bitcoin’s Proof of Work (PoW). While PoW is an excellent mechanism, it has one major drawback. It consumes an enormous amount of electricity. At one point, I found myself wondering: Does blockchain really require such vast computational resources? Isn’t there something else that’s needed? This led to the creation of Dawn, the experimental cryptocurrency project I am developing, and an experimental blockchain mechanism called Proof of Weather. In this article, I will discuss: Why I decided to use weather How Proof of Weather works Security considerations Implementation in Rust How Does Proof of Work Work? Proof of Work is often explained as a mechanism where computers compete against each other in computational tasks. However, one important property of PoW is that it produces outcomes that are difficult to predict in advance. Miners repeatedly perform massive amounts of hash calculations, and only those who happen to meet the conditions can generate a block. This unpredictability plays a role in determining who can produce the next block. However, this process consumes enormous amounts of electricity worldwide. So I wondered: Aren’t there already phenomena in nature that are difficult to predict? Why Weather? Proof of Weather utilizes weather data as that unpredictable element. Of course, weather forecasts exist. However, Temperatures several days in the future Atmospheric pressure at specific locations Precipitation Wind speed and other factors cannot be predicted with absolute certainty. In particular, when combining observations from multiple locations, it becomes even more difficult to accurately calculate future values in advance. In other words, meteorological observations have the potential to be used as A real-world information source where future values cannot be fully predic
