ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

GRIB

Okay, so imagine you are going on a trip with your family and you want to know what the weather will be like at your destination. GRIB is like a special kind of weather map that can tell you all the details about what the weather will be like.

Basically, GRIB is a computer file that has a lot of information about the weather. It includes things like wind speed, temperature, humidity, and other things that help predict the weather. The file is made up of a bunch of grids (that's why it's called GRIB) that are sort of like tiny boxes that each have their own weather information in them.

But don't worry, you don't have to understand all the fancy computer stuff to use GRIB. You can download an app or use a website that takes the information from the GRIB file and makes it easy for you to understand. So, if you want to know if you need to pack a raincoat or sunscreen for your trip, GRIB can help you figure that out.
