Breaking news …. tune in
Fascinating program on weather forecasting and weather on BBC Radio 4 right now!!
Our Obsession With Weather
Iain will ask what role the weather plays in our culture – any writer purposefully tuned to the language of the moment will be obliged to employ the weather as a moral sub-text, a framing device, a ceiling of depression – weather as prediction. Weather as a liquid mirror in which the writer, reads our future.
The above link will work for 7 further days — pop on over for a listen. I loved the program, esp the description of forecaster as having control of the weather … and being viewed as the demon who didn’t deliver!
