PUZZLE PLAYERS!

🌡️ FORECAST FRENZY

Today’s cartoon brings us to a meteorologists convention where folks are throwing out ideas in an attempt to outguess the sky itself. Nothing’s off limits, and some of these suggestions sound more like long shots than legit ways to forecast. The speaker keeps it rolling, welcoming every wild guess as the room buzzes with one idea after another. With ideas bouncing around and the momentum picking up, it’s clear they’re about to stir up something bigger than just a passing cloud.

➤ AT THE BOARD

The speaker stands in front of a dry erase board holding a marker in her left hand, dressed in a short-sleeved blazer-style top over a skirt. An earring is visible on her right ear. The board already lists a few ideas, including drones, AI models, and balloons, and an eraser is resting on the board’s tray.

➤ THE CROWD

Six attendees fill the scene, with some calling out suggestions while others appear to be thinking things through.

➤ IN THE ROOM

A partial curtain or divider is visible in the background, suggesting a conference-style setting. Hanging above their heads is an oval-shaped CloudyCon sign, with Cloudy, the sun-shaped O, and Con all standing out inside it.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was a 12-letter anagram that solved into a 2 + 10 layout. This one was nearly an instant solve, which made for an easy, breezy way to wrap up the week. One look at the word IDEAS on the board and BRAINSTORM came to mind instantly. TO was my guess for the first word, and the layout quickly backed it up. If this one rained on your parade, our nudges were the crowd calling out answers and the board already showing a list of IDEAS.

🌦️ Click-To-Reveal Facts*: About Weather Records

➤ What is the hottest year ever recorded?
Modern records show that 2024 stands as the hottest year ever recorded, with global temperatures running about 2.8°F above pre-industrial levels. Even more telling, the 10 warmest years on record have all occurred since 2015, showing just how stacked the recent heat has been.
SOURCE
➤ What was the coldest year on record?
Going the other direction, 1904 holds as the coldest year globally since modern tracking began in 1880. Many of the coldest years cluster between the late 1800s and early 1900s, a stretch where global temperatures dipped noticeably compared to what we see today.
SOURCE
➤ What was the wettest 12-month stretch in U.S. history?
The wettest 12-month stretch in U.S. history ran from May 2018 through April 2019, averaging a record-setting 36.20 inches of precipitation nationwide. That edged out the previous mark of 35.78 inches set from April 2015 through March 2016, showing just how soaked that year really was from coast to coast.
