Jokes aside, weather forecasting has measurably improved in the past 30 years. PORTLAND, Maine — Weather forecasting accuracy has dramatically improved over time. According to the Met Office, the UK’s national meteorological service, their four-day forecasts are now as accurate its one-day forecasts were 30 years ago. It's not just forecast agencies. Global computer models, such as the "EURO" and "GFS," have seen dramatic improvement in their error and verification scores. By the early 2000s, five-day forecasts were in the skill territory considered "highly accurate." Today, seven-day forecasts are reaching that threshold, in many cases. This applies not just to day-to-day weather but also big events, such as hurricane forecasting. Below is a graph of average track error for hurricanes in the Atlantic basin. It's worth noting that there are several reasons for these advancements. First is more extensive and higher resolution weather observations around the globe. This allows computer models to be "fed" with better initial data. Secondly, better computer processing power allows weather models to be programmed with more advanced algorithms that better describe and predict future weather conditions.

"The captain has switched on the 'fasten seatbelt' sign." If the sheer thought of turbulence is triggering panic and nausea in you, then one website might help calm your nerves before a flight.Turbli.com offers a kind of weather forecast for airplane turbulence: You enter your departure and destination airports and see how rough the flight is likely to be.The website, which is completely free, gives you a graph of the flight's predicted turbulence from take-off to landing, while also giving a forecast of any delays that headwinds might cause.The site has a map of turbulence around the world and where they occur depending on altitude. According to the website's operator, fluid mechanics engineer Ignacio Gallego-Marcos, the forecasts are based on weather models from the US weather agency NOAA and the UK's Met Office weather service.Turbli.com also publishes an annual ranking of the most turbulent flight routes.Top 5 most turbulent flights worldwideSantiago de Chile - Santa Cruz (Bolivia)Almaty (Kazakhstan) - Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan)Lanzhou (China) - Chengdu (China)Nagoya (Japan) - Sendai (Japan)Milan (Italy) - Geneva (Switzerland)Top 5 most turbulent flights in Europe Milan (Italy) - Geneva (Switzerland)Milan (Italy) - Zurich (Switzerland)Geneva (Switzerland) - Zurich (Switzerland)Marseille (France) - Zurich (Switzerland)Ljubljana (Slovenia) - Zurich (Switzerland)The ranking is based on the average turbulence on the routes at respective average cruising altitudes, independent of the aircraft types. Some 150,000 flights were analysed for the 2023 ranking.Experts say that for people with a fear of flying, it is often a good idea to have a window to look out during the flight. Seeing the horizon can help limit any nausea, since your eyes will have a point of reference in the distance.It also helps to sit near the middle of the plane, where you feel the least movement. The aircraft shakes the least at the point where the wings are attached to the fuselage.In addition, for passengers seated near the middle, the plane does not seem to swerve as much when the captain turns the plane.On the other hand, the rear of the aircraft tends to be the roughest place. A passenger at the very back may feel
