The Business of Weather
We Wellingtonians have been shivering away as an extended cold snap rolls over New Zealand's capital. Overnight the temperature was around 6 degrees, rising to a high of 9 today. Auckland? Not too bad at 12 degrees during the daytime and only a little drop overnight to 10.
In the South Island, Queenstown residents actually had something to gripe about with 3 degrees overnight rising to a balmy daytime temp of 5! But they get some of the best skiing in the world by way of compensation, so no complaints there, particularly as the skiing season is in full flight.
Thanks to the wonderful New Zealand MetService for the weather updates. MetService's website one of the most popular in this country. MetService Blog is particularly cool with all sorts of fascinating and bewildering posts about the science (or not depending on your viewpoint) of weather forecasting.
But wait...there's more - MetService is so good at this stuff, it actually exports weather technology via it's subsidiary Metra. Metra enables millions of people around the world have access to information about the weather through a suite of specialist software products and services which interpret data and deliver relevant and accurate weather information to an impressive range of international media and energy organisations including the BBC. If you check out the weather on TV or in your daily paper, it's quite likely Metra has powered the graphics.
But, back to the weather. Like most nationalities, Kiwis complain a lot about the weather. But, compared to lurking optimistically at a bus stop being blasted by vertical freezing sleet, feet doing a good impersonation of ice blocks, having squelched along grime-encrusted, slush laden streets (the aftermath of last week's romantic snow covering, waiting in vain for deliverance by a bus that doesn't seem likely to arrive, our reality doesn't seem so bad!
