Philip Duncan: WeatherWatch founder on the Government getting involved in conflict between MetService and NIWA

The Government is seeking advice about New Zealand's weather forecasting system amid fears of conflict. MetService and NIWA have inspired concern over mixed and confusing messages given to the public during extreme weather events. WeatherWatch founder Philip Duncan says one of the reasons the weather feels so much more intense this year, is because we've had five years of rainfall deficit.
