Now, these come to us from right the way around the world. The ones we're looking at here are actually on the north coast of Algeria. And the numbers here tell me that we've got some very, very heavy rain at the moment across northern Algeria. And this is one area we're watching to see if there might be some flooding over the next few days.
Yes, so I'm zooming in, and all of these circles you can see are around the world, actually. I can zoom right out and show you right the way around the planets. Go to Singapore. Oh, they've got some thunderstorms there at the moment. So these are the actual observations that people are recording.

Do you see your job changing? Oh, I'm sure it will change in the future. You know, every time there's been... available extra computing power. We've seen a step change in the forecasting capabilities, and I don't suppose AI is going to be any different from that.

However, I have looked at some AI models from time to time when the forecasts have been difficult, and I've gone back and looked at what had been predicted by these AI models on previous days, and You know, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not so good.

I don't see anything groundbreaking at the moment in terms of difference in the day-to-day forecasting whenever I've looked at these models, but I'm sure it will come. It is early days, as they say. Chris and Zoe, thank you.

Does this affect your work? Well, the one thing I see quite often on social media, you know, questions directed at us are around chemtrails. It's the idea that some people have that the government's somehow spraying us from the skies. It's contrails, aeroplane contrails. These are ice crystals that follow aeroplane engines.

And, of course, there's a little bit of moisture that comes out from burning fuels at that altitude in the atmosphere. Here's the thing. These things are predictable. If the atmosphere has got quite a bit of moisture in it and you put extra in from aeroplane engines, you get these persistent aeroplane contrails that can last for most part of a day.

There are other times when the atmosphere is very dry and at the kind of height that planes fly at, and you'll see very quickly those contrails just evaporating. So nothing to do with getting sprayed about. That's a complete fallacy, a complete hoax. It is just atmospheric physics. It's just about how much water there is up there in the atmosphere.
