This will be my final update on Hurricane Florence since the weather
has pretty much returned to normal, whatever that is... Besides, I
think I've milked this news cycle enough already :-)<br>
<br>
In case anyone wants to play around with the weather file, I've put
it <a moz-do-not-send="true"

, but be forewarned that the data stop on Sept. 18. <br>
<br>
Final comments re: data from Sept 16-17:<br>
I don't believe the solar numbers at all. These are calculated
based on the cloud cover reported as a constant 0.4 over the past
80 hours; it's perfectly understandable the meteorologists might
have been too swamped by other tasks to bother recording the cloud
cover, but it does bring up one of my pet peeves that when people
opine on solar models, they only attribute defects to the models and
never to the input data. Readers may be aware that for the past year
and more, I've been replacing my modeled solar with
satellite-derived solar; the primary reason is not the improvement
in modeling, but more reliable recordings of cloud conditions.<br>
