Few conversations in Aotearoa pass without some reference to the weather. Is the rain coming in? Is the wind direction changing? Can the barbeque go ahead? Meteorologist and Head of Weather Communications at Metservice, Lisa Murray talks about the weather for a living.
But she and her colleagues also carry a heavy responsibility when it comes to predicting severe weather events in time to save lives and livelihoods. Lisa is one of the authors of a new book put out by Metservice, which looks at the history and science behind our worst weather, called New Zealand's Wild Weather.
