Weather Hype

Welcome to the Olympic Games! On this episode of WeatherHype, we breakdown the opening ceremony of the Olympics and their decision to focus on climate change. Was it a good idea? Then we discuss the high winds that occurred on two different days in Rio that caused most of the water events to be cancelled for Sunday and Wednesday. Then we talk about the "normal" weather conditions for Rio, and explain how the summer Olympics can be occurring when it's winter in Rio! As always we finish up with some personal stories. Minh meets up with more weather folks, and we talk about the interesting concept involving weather forecasts and toast. Finally, we close up this episode with our Songs of the Week!
