While the hantavirus risk looks mostly contained, the most recent Ebola outbreak appears to be worse than original estimates. Doctors and epidemiologists suspect it has spread to new areas not currently being tracked. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The agent I've been working on has been gaining new capabilities every day. Here it's pulled 10 ensemble members and plotted precipitation forecast for the next ten days, and deliver it every morning. @ensembleator.bsky.social how did it do?

I was surprised to see my personal agent built on Qwen3.6 having the capability to interpret lightning maps and accurately describe the direction of movement of the storm. This model must have been trained on a lot of mapping data.

Getting sparky ⚡️⛈️ and a little wet in greater Vancouver #bcstorm #bcwx

ECMWF long range trending towards “super” El Niño by November, probabilistic ensembles hinting June-August look like above average temperatures for BC but dry #bcstorm #bcwx www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/ana...

First time I’ve ever seen Banasa Dimidiata (Green burgundy stink bug) but wow it’s so cool. It seemed to love hanging out in some wax begonias I just planted. A welcome friend. 🪲

A very friendly American Goldfinch visited the bird feeder this morning. Nice to see them returning again this year. Also a little experiment had Gemini process the image to get better focus but maybe it’s a stretch?

Asperitas over Coquitlam ☁️ #bcstorm #bcwx

Still blows my mind I can pull up a live YouTube stream and overlay it on @flightradar24.com and watch an entire airport live on a tiny cell phone in 2026. www.youtube.com/live/SkieSbW...

There’s definitely something funny going on with Claude usage. All it took was a couple of code reviews and I’m hitting usage limits on a MAX plan. Something smells very bad. 👃 Anyone else running into this?

Cascades are looking beautiful!

It must be spring, the animals are out and very lively! This owl flew right up to me on my walk last night 🦉

The bears are back, and right on cue they’re back to destroying our fence again (that’s the crunch sound at the end) 🐻😂

It’s about time we go back to the moon 🚀🌕 #artemis

Lightning now popping up from that cell moving over Pitt Meadows now #bcstorm #bcwx

Looks like a random cell just popped up over the Tri-Cities and is dropping a solid amount of pellets #bcstorm #bcwx

Of course the clouds are out 🙂😭 KP Index is at 6 right now #bcwx #aurora #northernlights

A mudslide in Coquitlam has triggered an emergency response by local first responders and SAR and a rescue is in progress in the 1900 block of Pipeline Road #bcstorm #bcwx coquitlam.ca/m/newsflash/...

Orange warnings now issued for the Fraser Valley, up to 130mm of rainfall predicted from now until Friday with high flooding risk #bcstorm #bcwx weather.gc.ca?zoom=6&cente...

Antarctic ice cores demonstrate ocean heat - not CO2 - was responsible for more dramatic swings in climate change. Which begs the question: what drives ocean heat? 🤔 www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.perplexity.ai/page/antarct...

Nearly every neuron in the brain of a fruit fly has been mapped. “Oxford researchers built the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the adult fruit fly brain, achieving roughly tenfold single-cell coverage of every neuron.” neurosciencenews.com/neural-memor... #neuroscience

Lots of snow pellets falling on north shore mountains! #bcstorm #bcsnow #weather

This is the best video I’ve seen yet of last night’s #meteor ☄️ clearly showing a moving and growing fireball with two bright flashes. How cool to have heard🦻 such an event! Does anyone know where this was taken? Interested to find the original location and which direction the camera was facing.

Sonic boom at around 9:11pm local time was strong enough to create a spike on the seismometer in Maple Ridge. If it was a meteor it was a big one!

Reports all over the lower mainland of a bright flash followed by a very large boom a minute later. Did you hear it? If it was a meteor it must have been on the scale of the Chelyabinsk Event.

Quite the upset for Canada Olympic Hockey 🏒 good game though, team looked strong. Overall for 2026 games though not the best showing for the country. One less gold medal than 2022 but total medal count trending to the lowest since 2002. A good time to reflect and rebuild.

Over the last 5 months I dedicated myself to learning, and I got a lot more than I bargained for. Not only received my medic license, but I’ve also managed to learn the basics of chip design & architecture. I made this prototype AI compute tile/core…open source tools really changed the game 🤖🦾

Contrail or STEVE in the night sky?

So if Musk merges X, xAI, and SpaceX does that mean he’s going to call it XXX? 😂 ❌❌❌ www.reuters.com/world/musks-...

NOAA announces rollout of AI-driven weather models, including AI ensembles. I guess @ensembleator.bsky.social has a new tool in his toolbox 😜 #weather www.noaa.gov/news-release...

What’s going on at YYC? Multiple flights diverting to YVR, airport in Calgary looks empty. Looks like a blizzard has moved in. #weather #abstorm

What the heck is crawling around our backyard this morning 😬

Lightning beginning to strike at the north end of Coquitlam Lake. Looks like it’s getting sparky! ⚡️ Can also hear hail in the tri cities #bcstorm

Can someone explain to me what Bezos is smoking? Or if I’m missing a breakthrough in physics? The tiny computers on the ISS require radiators the size of school buses to cool them. Where the heck is a GIGAWATT of heat going from these orbital data centers?

Spotted: an Air Niugini A220 ferry flight on its way to Papa New Guinea where it will begin domestic service. www.airniugini.com.pg/news/the-peo...

Puffins enjoying a nap on top of a 300ft cliff #stunday #puffins

Made a (very) last minute decision to change plans, rent a car, drive for hours into the Western Fjords, and absolutely nailed it. Can't wait to edit the rest! #puffins

Happy to report that the Atlantic Puffin population is alive and well

Just a bear saying hi with his best smile #shareyourweather

It’s a very sparky ⚡️🌩️ day in Western Canada, let’s hope we don’t see too many fire starts #bcwx #bcfires #bcstorm

Kp index is 5+ and listen up Vancouver you’re getting close to the red zone #aurora #bcwx #bcstorm

Wow the sunset tonight is incredible! #BCwx #bcstorm #wxsky

Space Weather Prediction Center forecasting (as of 1:30 PM PDT / 2030 UTC). Times and dates UTC. Yellow highlights cover Sunday evening, 0000 (5 PM) - 0900 (2 AM Monday). Will last night's unexpected storm be equalled, or exceded tonight. Stay tuned Vancouver! @tarnjitparmar.bsky.social

Wow! Check out this incredible showing of the aurora in California on the Likely Mountain cam #aurora #northernlights #solarflare

I suspect the geomagnetic storm has begun interfering with electronics as the fire alarm in our modern hotel was randomly set off when a sprinkler was triggered for no visible reason. Kp index is over 7. Let the fun begin. #aurora #solarflare

Exciting! Solar storm upgraded to G4 SEVERE watch… better ready the camera #aurora #northernlights www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/upgrade...

A massive CME was launched yesterday from a M8.2 flare from AR4100 and it looks like we have an Earth directed component. UK MET office predicting G4+ conditions for impacts Awaiting SWPC/NASA predictions. The whole central and eastern U.S might be out of luck with wildfire smoke.

Looks like some light asperitas over Whistler this morning #bcwx #bcstorm #wxsky

Spotted my first Heather Ladybird beetle, apparently these little bugs are beneficial and also badass looking

Looks like @ensembleator.bsky.social ‘s lightning forecast validated…albeit a day late 🙂⛈️ #bcstorm #bcwx #bcstormwatch
