I also adjusted what would constitute a drizzle, light rain, moderate rain, and heavy rain. Hopefully you'll see a more accurate representation of the precipitation intensity from here on out as well.

Since these updates were on the forecast server, there is no need to update Seasonality to see these changes. Just reload your weather data and you'll see the newest forecasts.

Next month I will be working on improving the accuracy of international forecasts for coastal locations. There's an issue with large bodies of water giving coastal locations a trend toward more mild weather when that shouldn't be the case in all situations. I'll post an update here when these changes are complete.

This move also brings with it the addition of an alternate download link. If you are having trouble downloading Seasonality from the primary download site, give the alternate link a try.

Download Seasonality 1.4.1

I will be looking into adding another forecast server in the next few months to cover times when the primary forecast server goes offline. The tricky part is finding a hosting provider that is cost-effective and can handle the CPU load requirement of the forecast generation code.

I'll be continuing work on the forecast generator during the next few weeks and hope to improve international forecasts even further.

I've written some backup code to gather data from a lower resolution (1 degree) GFS model sourced from a different division of the NOAA for the time being. The daily collection that ran this morning at 9AM UTC went through fine, so sometime tomorrow I will switch the Seasonality forecast server to use the backup data. Forecasts should show up as usual in Seasonality, but you may notice less accurate forecasts while using the lower resolution data.
