On this date in 1999, the largest tornado outbreak in Oklahoma, USA took place. At least 70 tornadoes occurred in the Sooner state. The photo above shows what can happen to vehicles in these kind of winds. Although this was in the path of the F-5 Bridge Creek/Moore/Oklahoma City event, winds well under 150 mph can destroy a large heavy duty pickup truck like the one you see here.

Lovely article+illustrations by Kimono Ichiba (via Tanpopo <3), overviewing famous "scary"patterns... which are in fact often auspicious as traditional Japanese patterns ;)

I believe I have them all on the blog somewhere but it's nice having them in one place so let's go!

Spiderwebs (kumo no su)

In ancient China, spider were seen as auspicious messengers connecting Heaven to Earth.

As the spider catches its prey in its web, spiderweb came to signify "grasping happiness".

Apparently during Edo period, prostitutes and geisha used spiderweb patterned items as a good luck charm (meaning something like "this customer will come back").

A very famous spiderweb depiction is the Lady Rokujo ukiyoe [焔 honô (the flame of passion)] by female artist Uemura Shoen. Wisteria caught in the web could mean ``I hope [Prince Genji] will come tonight'' which is pretty sad considering her story T_T

Skulls (dokuro)

Exact name for human remains pattern is "nozarashi" (lit. "weather beaten") ie bones scattered in a field. This depicts a corpse turned to bones/unveiled from its grave by the elements.

Skulls are thought to ward off evil and bad luck. Bones can also symbolize a do-or-die spirit​, or hope for rebirth after death.

OP stresses a theory linking bones pattern to a buddhist saying 色即是空 shikisokuzekū "form is emptiness, matter is void, all is vanity​". An interpetation is that we'll all turn to dust one day so we're all equal.

Bones patterns are often seen during Obon (Festival of the dead) season.

Monsters, ogres and ghosts (yôkai / oni / yûrei)

Monsters patterns were then worn to ward off bad luck and evil spirits. Reasoning is: let's repel scary things by wearing an even scarier monster!

Fearsome monsters were especially use by people with dangerous jobs, like Edo period firemen.

Firemen often had the lining of their heavy fire attire (火事装束 kajishouzoku) embelished with lavish designs of brave heroes and fantastic monsters. It was both a talisman and a way to show that they did not fear danger or death.

Another reason behing monsters patterns is the Edo period love for "scary" entertainements, be it ghost stories, parlor or other types of games, art (see for ex. Utagawa Kuniyoshi), etc. And Edo city dwellers were all about being fashionable so a monster pattern would have been considered quite iki!

The Importance of Weather Forecasting in Agriculture

Agriculture is one of the crucial sectors of our country and lifestyle. Still, it could be complex as farmers have to take care of several factors, such as soil, irrigational facilities, and farming tools. Besides this, one more factor is crucial that holds high importance is weather forecasting. Through the usage of climate analytics, farmers can produce successful and desired crops. Further, with the help of weather forecasts, farmers can be mindful of the upcoming weather conditions and work on their fields accordingly. Therefore weather forecasting is considered an essential tool. Given below are some of the reasons that every farmer should consider.

It helps to determine the right time for fertilizers

With the assistance of weather forecasting, farmers can determine the befitting time to apply fertilizers. Further, they can easily choose the type of fertilizer and decide the date and time for the application. However, if the timing is not befitting, then the fertilizers can damage the crops, which can ultimately hamper the growth of the crops. Therefore, it is recommended to keep the field moist so that the fertilizers can do their job and can be beneficial to you. Hence, if the weather data is precise, you can use it several ways to optimize the benefits of farming.

It keeps the pests away

For the usage of pesticides, weather forecasting or climate consulting can be valuable assets. If the weather data collected is accurate, the farmers can do the desired farming to keep harmful pests and crop diseases away. Moreover, farmers get the correct weather information to utilize it successfully when selecting the type of pesticides. For instance, crop dusters should be used when the wind is not strong enough to blow the sprayed chemicals out of the plants. This can be determined by using weather data regarding wind speed.

It Helps to Decide the Best Irrigation Method

The primary purpose of irrigation is to sprinkle water onto the land through a connection of pipes or channels, called sprinklers and drip lines, which regulate and distribute the water. Further, water can do through hand or automated systems. Other factors such as soil type, slope, and rainfall are also considered. Irrigation is a primeval practice of successfully utilizing water to enhance the growth of crops. Furthermore, keeping a pasture or sports field from dying is helpful. An efficient irrigation system will save you crucial time as you will need less effort and time. Climate is an inevitable factor that every farmer has to deal with. However, if weather forecasting is precise, choosing the suitable irrigation method would be simple and easy.

Summing Up

So, these are the importance of weather forecasting, which could benefit your methods and amplify crop productivity. However, if you are searching for the best professional climate services, AWIS Weather Services can be a wise choice. Since 1996, they have been active in their domain. They are proficient in helping farmers grow crops on a larger scale, consecutively focusing on precision, accuracy, and detail regarding weather predictions.
