Weather Reports
A CORRESPONDENT recently wrote emphasising the valuable nature of the weather forecast issued each evening, He asked why fixed times could not. be given for the weather forecast to be broadcast, say, at 7.5 pm. The difficulty is that the weather reports have to be compiled from data, some of which is telegraphed from overseas. Further, after compilation by the Meteorological officers in Wellington, it has to be telegraphed to the different broadcasting stations in other centres, with the inevitable result that some irregularity obtains in the receipt of the weather forecasts at some stations on some occasions. This correspondent and others can rest assured that the Broadcasting Company is fully alive to the paramount importance of weather information to country readers and vessels at sea, and every effort is made to issue it at the earliest possible moment after it is available. It is not feasible to issue it so early in, the evening as 7 o’clock.
