star wars weather forecast tells you if the frost is with you

One of the most absurd things about the Star Wars universe is the fact that the planets are differentiated mostly by their singular weather conditions. If you see a snowy scene, then you’re looking at Hoth. Desert? Tatooine. So if you’re a Star Wars fan and having your locale compared to a planet in Luke’s universe makes your day a little bit better, skip the weather widget on your computer for now and check out Tom Scott’s Star Wars Weather Forecast.

Unless the weather conditions constantly change in your area, it will always be associated with the same Star Wars planet, so there’s not much sense in checking the website out more than once. Especially in my case, as it’s kinda depressing being told that it’s like Bespin where I live. And that Lando is going to betray me, even if I don’t know anyone named Lando. Yet.
