  1. This Monday, 30th of June, I will start my first day at #MetService!
    #JobHuntingWithSimon
    If you're interested in how a typical job quest turns out...
    Have a look at the depressing statistics:

  2. #MetService did a decent too, by eventually getting back to me, and apologizing it took them so long.
    I mean, I shouldn't be impressed by this behaviour, it should be normal... but if you've been in the apply-for-a-job mill, you know it isn't the norm.

  3. The MediaWatch team also talked about the weather segment of the new Stuff TV3 news bulletin. TBH I think a national weather report has been pointless since the MetService website and app became widely used. But a *regional* news report would be much more useful, and arguably easier for Stuff to do for TV3 than it would have been for NewsHub.

    This is the kind of thing I had in mind when I wrote this;

    “Commercially, we deliver scientific insights and solutions that give local and international businesses a competitive edge in the transport, energy, media, resources, industry, infrastructure and retail sectors.”
    The key being commercially— they have been known to allow some #opendata offerings to non commercial - but it’s “valuable” rather than public access

    .. a State Owned Enterprise established to deliver weather services to benefit New Zealand's people and economy."

    So, if the public of Aotearoa own MetService, why is the software and weather data they produce proprietary? Remember this is totally compatible with being a social enterprise charging fees for services etc, rather than "IP" rents.

    "I’m sad to know that the New Zealand meteorological agency MetService, has retired radiofax in July 1st, and is focusing on “modern solutions” of sending synoptic charts to vessels. In 2021 I received several radiofax charts from MetService in Porto Alegre."

  24. #Metservice have upgraded Rodney & Albany to a Severe Thunderstorm Warning as of 3:15pm today - we’re expecting torrential rain, which brings flash flooding risks.

    Take shelter indoors if you can.
    Stay away from trees.

    Around 3:45 we’re expecting the storms to sit near OREWA, KAUKAPAKAPA, DAIRY FLAT, WHANGAPARAOA and SILVERDALE.

    We’re expecting them to move southwards and lie over AUCKLAND, OREWA, ALBANY, DAIRY FLAT, WHANGAPARAOA, SILVERDALE, COATESVILLE and PAREMOREMO at 04:15 pm.
