Since many people are working from home now, including most students, I thought it might be helpful to provide some links to educational material about weather and climate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I watched a fantastic live stream on Facebook from the Capital Weather Gang<\/em> about atmospheric optics like rainbows and mirages, and that is archived along with their other lectures at https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/157306594301935\/<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
