We created Earth in Action to provide a lens into what's happening on our planet, as it happens. Whether it's something typical, like the current air temperature, or an extreme event like a major dust storm, we wanted to provide an opportunity for people to see them.
While humans have assembled a lot of weather data, flash floods are too short-lived and localized to be measured comprehensively, the way the temperature or even river flows are monitored over time. That data gap means that deep learning models, which are increasingly capable of forecasting the weather, aren't able to predict flash floods.
Weather impacts sales. Every retailer knows it. But for most, the likelihood that it might rain, snow, or sleet on the third of March somewhere in the Midwest is rarely used. Vendors such as Weather Trends have offered accurate, long-range forecasts for more than 20 years. But the opportunity is not predicting the weather; it's knowing what to do with the data. AI might change that.
The Met Office has put two amber and seven yellow alerts in place for Thursday, with chief forecaster Neil Armstrong describing the system as a multi-hazard event combining heavy rain, powerful winds and snowfall. Storm Goretti, which was named by the French meteorological service, has also been labelled a weather bomb by the Met Office as it strengthens quickly over the Atlantic before tracking towards the UK and France.
To learn how to query, visualize, and export live warehouse data from Streamlit, just keep reading. Now that we've prepared our helper modules and configured Snowflake credentials, it's time to bring everything together into one cohesive Streamlit app. The main driver script, lesson3_main.py, acts as the command center - defining layout, navigation, and page logic. It connects Streamlit's interactive UI to the Snowflake data warehouse and orchestrates how users query, explore, visualize, and export results.
I do understand that you're going to get some rain in winter, but it has definitely got worse. Even if you do manage to work for a day, it's punctuated by periods of an hour and a half of rain where you're sitting in your truck doing nothing. Before, I used to think, a day off, that's great. But now you think, oh, jeez, not another day off!
In November 2025, a massive storm rolled across the lower Mekong River delta, dumping multiple inches of rain onto the wide, flat river plain that covers much of Cambodia. The river rose and rose. The force of the water churned up mud from the river bottom. The muddy water flowed downstream and rushed into the many farming and fishing towns that line the Mekong's banks.
Rainbow Weather has raised $5.5 million in seed funding to push weather forecasting further into the short-term, high-precision territory it believes the industry still underserves. The Warsaw-based climate tech startup focuses on hyperlocal, minute-by-minute forecasts, zeroing in on what happens in the next few hours rather than days out. The round was backed by a syndicate of investors, including Yuri Gurski, founder of Flo Health, one of Europe's best-known consumer tech unicorns.
