Raindrops keep falling on my head, but now I can characterize this experience with superior precision using WolframAlpha.
The difference between the highest and lowest recorded surface temperatures on Earth is 319.5 degrees F (160 C).
Looks like it is snowing in Hell.
It’s oddly amazing outside
It is 59 degrees outside here in Champaign. It’s not supposed to be this warm in January! Especially when you compare it to the weather from last year:
Comparing Hurricanes with Wolfram|Alpha
It is looking more likely that Hurricane Irene will reach New England. Using Wolfram|Alpha, you can compare Irene to other hurricanes that reached New England.
You can see that 7-day-old Irene is already showing wind speeds higher than Hurricane Bob, which caused damage throughout New England in 1991 — and it may be on track to match the strength of 1999’s hurricane Floyd.
You can also compare the previous hurricanes named Irene with the current:
Keep an eye on Wolfram|Alpha for continuous updates of Irene’s location and other stats.
Hurricane Data in Wolfram|Alpha
The National Hurricane Center is reporting that Hurricane Eugene has become the fifth hurricane of the eastern pacific season.
Wolfram|Alpha can be used to find data about current and past hurricanes. Enter “Hurricane Eugene” to learn its path, as well and wind speed and pressure history.
