Don't miss Weather News LiVE! Unpacking the weekend's unpredictable spring weather with our forecaster
Been feeling like you just can't trust the weather lately? One minute there's morning sun, the next there's an afternoon shower. And with that strong wind comes a blanket of pollen... Times like these, you can always count on Weather News. Especially Weather News LiVE on your phone – it's a total game-changer for catching the latest updates during your commute or between chores.
Yesterday (March 18th), I was casually watching Weather News LiVE when one of our forecasters mentioned, "The weekend might feel like we're heading back into winter." I honestly did a double-take. It feels like just the other day we were talking about the first strong spring storm. But that's the thing about our forecasters – they don't just explain pressure systems; they give you that "real-feel from the street" perspective that makes it all so relatable.
Getting a handle on spring's little "quirks"
We all know spring weather is fickle – that clash between cold upper air and warm ground-level air. Understanding it is one thing, but actually living through it is another. Last week we were ditching our jackets, but this weekend I might be digging out my winter gear again. And for those down south, it's worth keeping an eye out for strong winds and big swells.
And let's not forget about pollen. According to Weather News' pollen data, cedar pollen is easing up in some areas, but cypress is starting to take over. If your eyes are still itchy, that could be why.

- Temperature rollercoaster: It's not just day-to-night swings, but big differences from one day to the next. Dressing in layers is your best bet.

Oh, and one more thing about Weather News LiVE – viewer reports are such a cool feature. Seeing real-time updates scroll across the screen like "This is what the weather's doing in my spot right now" really makes you feel connected. Yesterday, one viewer from Hokkaido reported a blizzard, while someone from Okinawa was already in t-shirts. It's a good reminder of just how diverse our weather is.
If you've got plans this weekend, definitely check the latest on the Weather News app or Weather News LiVE before you head out. A compact umbrella in your bag is looking like a must-have.
