I recently had the opportunity to wake up early and have a little fun by exploring common misconceptions about meteorology. In that vein, I decided to craft an article highlighting five questions that you shouldn’t ask meteorologists, along with reasons why.
1. Is It Going To Rain At My House?
I’ve noticed this tendency over the years as well after posting general information to friends and followers about an approaching storm system, hurricane, or snow scenario. For example, I might post, “There is a squall line approaching the Atlanta area. Expect heavy rainfall and lightning in the next 30 minutes followed by a sustained period of lighter rainfall.” Within minutes, I will receive comments, direct messages, or texts asking if it’s going to rain at a specific location or what specific time.
While meteorologists like Chris Jackson and James Spann reach thousands of people daily, but it is unrealistic to expect them to be able to respond to specific questions.
