EVERY BREATH WE TAKE!
I was in Gauteng earlier this week, where it was overcast and uncharacteristically rainy for this late-autumn season on the Highveld. And where Gautengers are watering their gardens, with due respect we hope for the water restrictions that are in place. Difficult to sell extended restrictions when the dams in Gauteng and other Eastwards-tending districts are above 72 percent.
One very small footnote report on page five of the Johannesburg Star said that the Western Cape was in dire straits water-wise. So we tend to talk more about the weather here in FMR reception-land, and it’s promising today – meaning wet or about to be wet.
There is just the most amazing research lately focusing on the atmosphere. Paul Newman, atmospheric physicist with NASA, and David Fahey of NOAA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration www.noaa.gov in that clip about the cutting edge of today’s atmospheric research.
