Current summary

I forecast for aviation and marine clients across Scandinavia. Over the past 3 years my 24-hour precipitation calls held a 87% verification score, above the 79% desk average.

I run ensemble output from 4 models each cycle and write the morning brief that reaches roughly 40 ferry and port operators. I like a quiet high-pressure week as much as anyone, though the storms are where the work gets interesting.
