Found the Djungelskog at the Malmö #IKEA. #jetlagthegame

At 2:10 PM ET, Newark Airport reported a 310° NW wind with a 28 mph gust. 310° is NY NJ Stadium's chaos direction. At 28 mph, south end goal kicks (camera R-to-L) would blow it 8 ft (2.6 m) farther, and 17 ft (5.2 m) sideways. By contrast, nearby 330° is almost calm on the field. #WorldCup #ESPARG

Since @weatherapplied.com has Citi Field modeled, I was hoping I could give some wind insights about this game, but even though there's about 10 mph winds outside the stadium, the wind on the field is only about 1-2 mph. I don't know no wind is good or bad when the air is full of smoke particles.

#USA vs #BEL World Cup round of 16 coming soon! I made a weather impact preview for @weatherapplied.com about how the weather will affect ball flight during the game. It's not the most weather-impacted game of the tournament, but there's some ball movement happening. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IZW...

The weather in this afternoon's game between France and Paraguay in Philadelphia will be interesting, so I made a video about it for the brand new @weatherapplied YouTube Channel. If you want to see us make more such videos, subscribe to the channel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRA5...

The same comparison occurred to me. The worst part is, I’m not sure I want to watch any more of this World Cup because there’s no way the sequels will be as good as the original.

Let's go, Alameda Socceroos!

70 F (21 C) temps, 340 NNW 18 mph winds for #USA-#BIH. That's a wind that hits the scoreboard on the north side. On the field, there's a 1-5 mph swirling clockwise eddy on the north side (left on TV), and a 5-10 mph crosswind on the south (right on TV side).

Kalmar Union FTW! Let's go Kalmar Union!

The country that lies farther west has won all four games in the round of 32. I am hereby reestablishing the Kalmar Union to help Norway and Sweden in tomorrow's matchups. That's as good a reason to lay claim to Greenland as any.

There's an article here about PNC Park that mentions @weatherapplied.com. The way the sentence is constructed it makes it sounds like WAM says that the wind blows out at PNC Park 58% of the time. But that's not from us. We wouldn't talk about it in those terms. lancasteronline.com/sports/mlb/w...

Obituary for my mother-in-law, who would have turned 100 years old on Monday.

Levi's weather report at kickoff for Jordan vs Algeria: 333 degree NNW wind, 16 mph. At field level, this means 1-5 mph winds, with a clockwise eddy on the north (left to camera) side of the field centered at the top of the 18 yard box. The south (right) side of the field has a crosswind.

Fun fact: not infrequently, I mistype "Weather Applied" as "Weather Appier." That makes me think of a time during a 2000 ALDS pregame warmup, where New York Yankees players were in the outfield, taking turns to see which one of them could imitate Kevin Appier's distinctive pitching motion the best.

There’s a reasonable chance that USA will play against Sweden on July 1 at Levi’s^H^H^H^H^H San Francisco Bay Area Stadium. I can’t go, but that would be a helluva thing for a Bay Area Swedish-American to miss.

Weather at the start of #PAR vs #TUR : 68.8 F (20 C). Wind: 15 mph from a quite unusual for Santa Clara in the summer: 120 ESE wind direction. At field level, that creates a 5 mph crosswind on the north side (left on TV) and a headwind for Paraguay while defending the south side (right on TV).

LOLOL Grok said I was a “Former Oakland Athletics Assistant GM”

Yes, and @weatherapplied.com also supplies pitch-by-pitch temperature and pressure to MLB. I could be wrong, but I don't think that's made its way into the drag calculations, either.

I'd take Savant's drag numbers with a grain of salt, because the calculation uses velocity relative to the ground instead of velocity relative to the air. To use the latter, you need pitch head/tailwinds, which @weatherapplied.com supplies to MLB but hasn't yet been incorporated into Savant's drag.

The weather at kickoff inside "San Francisco Bay Area Stadium" for #AUT vs #JOR is 63 F (17 C), with 13 mph (21 kph) winds from 334° NNW, according to our @weatherapplied.com data.
