In plain words
This project provides a formal EBNF grammar specification for the BBC Shipping Forecast, the long-running maritime weather bulletin broadcast to UK sailors and fishing vessels. It is intended for developers and linguistics enthusiasts interested in parsing and understanding the structured format of these weather reports. The specification breaks down the forecast's distinctive language and phrasing into machine-readable rules, making it useful for educational purposes or as a foundation for forecast analysis tools.

Sail a historical full-rigged ship in real global weather2023 · thapen.itch.io · ▲359This is a simulator of a frigate from about 1800. It has realistic physics, tuned to match historical performance. The UI is based around commands given in period naval language. Rather than use the current weather, it has a full year's weather data (for 1980 - taken from https://psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded/data.ncep.reanalysis2.html). This allows the weather to change realistically under time acceleration. To learn the basics of handling a square-rigged ship, start the "Harbour" scenario, click on the instructions button at the bottom left, and follow the instructions…
Brolly, a plain-text weather forecast siteJul 2026 · brolly.sh · ▲228The UK MET office recently redesigned their site, adding a lot of additional whitespace, scrolling, and animations. This significantly reduced its usability for me, and left me wanting an ‘at a glance’ weather site. I made https://brolly.sh, a minimalist, plain text weather forecasting site. You can use it to view weather from around the world, with: 7 day forecast; Previous day log (so you can confirm it definitely was cooler / hotter / wetter / drier yesterday!); Hourly rain, wind, temperature, conditions; Hourly UV, air quality and pollen, including pollen type…

Python SDK – forecasting with foundation time-series and tabular modelsDec 2025 · github.com · ▲43We’ve built a Python SDK for running inference on foundation models designed for time-series and tabular data. They are new SOTA models for time-series and tabular tasks and work out of the box. They do not require model training or feature engineering.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
