I think it was quite useless and not needed at all. Watlington Street just parallel has been the main cycling route connecting the centre to the south. It’s very low traffic and well connected at both ends. So what’s the point of cycling g along Sidmouth Street.
Don’t get me wrong - the traffic planning in Reading leaves lots to wish for, always has over the past 20 years I’ve been experiencing it. But the Sidmouth Street cycle lane was one of its worst.
Reading is growing with many more people living centrally. Yet the infrastructure hasn’t been adapted.
I’m all for cycling 🚲 routes but this one was just bonkers - no cyclist would ever use it. Instead, the unnecessarily diverted traffic passed and queued in front of my house. I’m glad they have eventually reconsidered that decision.

📣 Workshop on software strategies for sustainable physical modelling, 23–27 Nov 2026.
Focus on sustainable and adaptable modelling approaches for weather and climate systems, from agile coding practices to integrating machine learning into forecasting tools.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Does anyone know how to access the 10 hPa ECMWF forecast data?
With ecmwf-opendata, it seems I can only get up to 50 hPa.
Thanks!

Are you ok, Milan?
Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics (AOPP) Open Day 2025
Online, 2 Dec, 1:30-4pm
Meet academics plus drop-in sessions with ample opportunity for you to ask questions.
Fill in the form via https://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/study/postgraduates/dphil-atmospheric-oceanic-and-planetary-physics
We welcome applicants with a PhD 🎓 in weather and climate science, mathematics, physics, statistical science or a closely related field, especially those with curiosity and ability for independent, innovative thinking about the climate system.
In this role, you will help develop innovative approaches to better understand this paradox, correct its impacts and improve the reliability of climate forecasts for the Euro-Atlantic region and beyond.
It describes how the real world can sometimes appear more predictable than our best climate models suggest — meaning the models may underestimate predictable signals.
You'll be part of the AUSPICE project and working with project partners at the Uni of Reading, the UK Met Office, ECMWF and NCAR to address a significant problem in climate forecasting known as the Signal-to-Noise Paradox.

This data visualization presents a bar graph illustrating the number of deaths in Bangladesh from storm events over the years, prominently featuring significant cyclone incidents. The vertical axis represents the number of deaths, ranging from 0 to over 300,000, while the horizontal axis spans from 1960 to 2023. Key data points highlighted include: - More than 300,000 deaths noted during the 1970 Bhola cyclone, categorized as a Category 3 cyclone. - In 1991, 138,000 deaths occurred from a Category 4 cyclone. - In 1985, 15,000 deaths were reported from a Category 3 cyclone. - The year 2007 saw only 4,000 deaths from a Category 4 cyclone. - Since 2007, no year has recorded more than 200 deaths, even with several Category 4 and 5 cyclones. A note states estimates before 1971 are based on deaths that occurred within Bangladesh's current borders. The data sources are EM-DAT, CRED, and UCLouvain, from the year 2024. The image is attrib uted to the "Our World in Data" project.
Bangladesh has become much more resilient to cyclones, saving many lives
