1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast. 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 2: Jack has heard an interesting theory about weather predicting. We 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 2: all joke about nowhere we go and it's not that accurate, 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 2: is it weather predicting? You know, so off the go, 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 2: it's just a beautiful day to day and it's it's 6 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 2: pouring down. It feels like it's by all the various technology, 7 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 2: all the various apps, we're not actually any closer to 8 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 2: one hundred percent accurate. 9 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 3: Sometimes when they say it's raining on the end, I 10 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 3: actually get filled with confidence because I know they get 11 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 3: it wrong. It's gonna be sunny. This is what my 12 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 3: friend said, Will He said this year weather has been 13 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 3: less accurate because there's less commercial flights in the sky 14 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 3: due to COVID, and commercial flights take some kind of 15 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 3: atmospheric data. They email that to the weather guys and 16 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 3: then they get amazed from up there they get the 17 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 3: more the weather gus. 18 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: Sorry a flying I forgot to send it this time 19 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 2: with attachment. 20 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 3: They send it to the weather guys. The weather guys 21 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 3: break that data down and then they've got a more 22 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 3: accurate picture of what the weather is. So my question 23 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 3: is is this true? Do commercial flights collect more data? 24 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 3: And has the weather been less accurate over the last 25 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 3: two years during the pandemic because there's less flights in 26 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 3: the air. 27 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: My friend is a pilot, right, and he said, you 28 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 2: know it's you know it's he flies from London to 29 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 2: America and he said, once this is up in the 30 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 2: air and it's it's really boring. It reads books and 31 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 2: stuff like that. 32 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 3: He's probably the guy who's. 33 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 2: It feels like you would have a lot of time 34 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 2: to get the old binos out and email Botswana. 35 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 4: That is rain clouds. 36 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: All Botswana air traffic control rainy coming? 37 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 3: How do you spell bureaus from all? 38 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 4: Right? So, can anyone put us right about this? Or 39 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 4: on patsy? Does it sound right? 40 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 3: No, that sounds ridiculous. I'm pretty sure the Weather Bureau 41 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 3: has some accurate sort of equipment other than an eye 42 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 3: in the sky. I'm not saying they've got no equipment. 43 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: I'm just saying they were with the satellite. 44 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 3: They pair that with the commercial flights. 45 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 4: Guys, right, Okay, Christian Connell Show podcast. 46 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: So Jackie Boy has heard a theory about why weather 47 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: reporting this year isn't as spot on as it has 48 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 2: been in previous years. The theory you heard from a 49 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: guy in the pub. 50 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 3: During the pandemic, there has been less commercial flights, and 51 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 3: commercial flights pick up some kind of atmospheric data that 52 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 3: they send to the weather guys. The weather guys crunch 53 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 3: the data and get a more accurate picture of the 54 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 3: weather coming up. With less planes in the sky, we 55 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 3: get less accuracy. 56 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 4: It does make sense, all right, Matt, Good morning, Matt. 57 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 5: Good mine a Christian. 58 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: Matt, welcome to the show. What can you tell us 59 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 2: about Jack's theory that you heard? 60 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 5: That theory is true. On the side below the copic windows, 61 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 5: all the planes or the boring and the air batters 62 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 5: have atmosphere pressure sensors to help with autopilot, et cetera. 63 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 5: And all that information is set back down to the 64 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 5: bureau or wherever it's going to be, and they use that, 65 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 5: combined with their satellites and weather balloons and all their 66 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 5: data to help predict rain clouds and pete and troughs 67 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 5: of all their weather. 68 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 4: And how do you know that, Matt, I'm a weather nerd. 69 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 4: I see. So Jack's theories is right, then he's great. 70 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: So you noticed it this year and last year, Mat, 71 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 3: that the weather has been less. 72 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 5: Accurate, absolutely, and last year when it really started and 73 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 5: then noticing I did a little bit of research and 74 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 5: spoke to a few other people that sort of forbit 75 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 5: like me and weather nerves, and we confirmed that it's true. 76 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 4: I love this. 77 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 2: And where do you speak to you?
