Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Jack has heard an interesting theory about weather predicting. We
Speaker 2: all joke about nowhere we go and it's not that accurate,
Speaker 2: is it weather predicting? You know, so off the go,
Speaker 2: it's just a beautiful day to day and it's it's
Speaker 2: pouring down. It feels like it's by all the various technology,
Speaker 2: all the various apps, we're not actually any closer to
Speaker 2: one hundred percent accurate.
Speaker 3: Sometimes when they say it's raining on the end, I
Speaker 3: actually get filled with confidence because I know they get
Speaker 3: it wrong. It's gonna be sunny. This is what my
Speaker 3: friend said, Will He said this year weather has been
Speaker 3: less accurate because there's less commercial flights in the sky
Speaker 3: due to COVID, and commercial flights take some kind of
Speaker 3: atmospheric data. They email that to the weather guys and
Speaker 3: then they get amazed from up there they get the
Speaker 3: more the weather gus.
Speaker 2: Sorry a flying I forgot to send it this time
Speaker 2: with attachment.
Speaker 3: They send it to the weather guys. The weather guys
Speaker 3: break that data down and then they've got a more
Speaker 3: accurate picture of what the weather is. So my question
Speaker 3: is is this true? Do commercial flights collect more data?
Speaker 3: And has the weather been less accurate over the last
Speaker 3: two years during the pandemic because there's less flights in
Speaker 3: the air.
Speaker 2: My friend is a pilot, right, and he said, you
Speaker 2: know it's you know it's he flies from London to
Speaker 2: America and he said, once this is up in the
Speaker 2: air and it's it's really boring. It reads books and
Speaker 2: stuff like that.
Speaker 3: He's probably the guy who's.
Speaker 2: It feels like you would have a lot of time
Speaker 2: to get the old binos out and email Botswana.
Speaker 4: That is rain clouds.
Speaker 2: All Botswana air traffic control rainy coming?
Speaker 3: How do you spell bureaus from all?
Speaker 4: Right? So, can anyone put us right about this? Or
Speaker 4: on patsy? Does it sound right?
Speaker 3: No, that sounds ridiculous. I'm pretty sure the Weather Bureau
Speaker 3: has some accurate sort of equipment other than an eye
Speaker 3: in the sky. I'm not saying they've got no equipment.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying they were with the satellite.
Speaker 3: They pair that with the commercial flights.
Speaker 4: Guys, right, Okay, Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: So Jackie Boy has heard a theory about why weather
Speaker 2: reporting this year isn't as spot on as it has
Speaker 2: been in previous years. The theory you heard from a
Speaker 2: guy in the pub.
Speaker 3: During the pandemic, there has been less commercial flights, and
Speaker 3: commercial flights pick up some kind of atmospheric data that
Speaker 3: they send to the weather guys. The weather guys crunch
Speaker 3: the data and get a more accurate picture of the
Speaker 3: weather coming up. With less planes in the sky, we
Speaker 3: get less accuracy.
Speaker 4: It does make sense, all right, Matt, Good morning, Matt.
Speaker 5: Good mine a Christian.
Speaker 2: Matt, welcome to the show. What can you tell us
Speaker 2: about Jack's theory that you heard?
Speaker 5: That theory is true. On the side below the copic windows,
Speaker 5: all the planes or the boring and the air batters
Speaker 5: have atmosphere pressure sensors to help with autopilot, et cetera.
Speaker 5: And all that information is set back down to the
Speaker 5: bureau or wherever it's going to be, and they use that,
Speaker 5: combined with their satellites and weather balloons and all their
Speaker 5: data to help predict rain clouds and pete and troughs
Speaker 5: of all their weather.
Speaker 4: And how do you know that, Matt, I'm a weather nerd.
Speaker 4: I see. So Jack's theories is right, then he's great.
Speaker 3: So you noticed it this year and last year, Mat,
Speaker 3: that the weather has been less.
Speaker 5: Accurate, absolutely, and last year when it really started and
Speaker 5: then noticing I did a little bit of research and
Speaker 5: spoke to a few other people that sort of forbit
Speaker 5: like me and weather nerves, and we confirmed that it's true.
Speaker 4: I love this.
Speaker 2: And where do you speak to you? Are you in
Speaker 2: like a Facebook group or some sort of underground like fight.
Speaker 4: Club for the old weather.
Speaker 5: Talking about pocal.
Speaker 4: You're Tyler Dirdan and.
Speaker 3: You're breaking the number one and to rule.
Speaker 5: Here, Matt, No, I'm just part of habook group that yeah,
Speaker 5: we all sort of snurred out about the weather.
Speaker 4: Awesome, all right, don't know. You've got to share, to
Speaker 4: share the knowledge. Matt, thank you very much. You give

Speaker 1: actually built a full size seven three seven similar in
Speaker 1: my house for the last seven years and finally complete.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's you can jump on Facebook Melbourne seven
Speaker 1: three seven prog. And when I basically want to know
Speaker 1: what the weather is coming, I can jump in my
Speaker 1: simulator and fly to wherever the weather generally comes from,
Speaker 1: which is the West, and it actually injects real world weather,
Speaker 1: so I know exactly what's coming ahead of time.
Speaker 2: Basically, this is incredible, Nathan, I just need to just
Speaker 2: go back. You've been building over the last couple of years.

Speaker 1: So right next to the kitchen, So that's great.
Speaker 4: But you're making your spag Bob. I've just got.
Speaker 1: Intercom and built into the black wall. I can press
Speaker 1: the button. It works almost every time.
Speaker 4: Is unbelievable, Nathan.
Speaker 1: If you go on Facebook, I will be seven project.
Speaker 1: You'll actually see it there. You'll see all the photos
Speaker 1: and you see my life bringing me drinks and everything.

Speaker 3: And Nathan, is this a complete hobby? Are you building
Speaker 3: it with some kind of organization?
Speaker 1: Now it's just all on my own. This is a
Speaker 1: complete I love that fly. I can open up two doors,
Speaker 1: walking into a real cockpit door sit on a real
Speaker 1: cock bit seat and start the engines and talk to
Speaker 1: air traffic controls. You're which are a virtil online.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it now. Rio is just holding up
Speaker 2: his laptop. I'm looking at the photos. That is unbelievable.
Speaker 4: What you've built. It's incredible, show Jack, it's brilliant.
Speaker 3: It is incredible.
Speaker 4: And so what's your background? What do you do by day? Nathan?
Speaker 1: I actually cut concrete for a living, so nothing to

Speaker 3: complete the flight all the way to Sydney.
Speaker 1: Well if you're if you're online, you sort of have
