Umndeni wakwaNichols kaTasmania uthola indondo yeminyaka engaphezu kweyi-100 yokuqoshwa kwemvula ye-BOM

Kafushane:
Ngaphezu kweminyaka eyi-100, umndeni oseningizimu ye-Tasmanian ubulokhu uqoqa ngokuzithandela idatha yemvula epulazini lawo elise-Richmond bese uyithumela ku-Bureau of Meteorology.

I-BOM iklomelise umndeni wakwaNichols Umklomelo Weminyaka Eyi-100 Ovelele onikezwe umbusi waseTasmania ngokuzibophezela kwabo isikhathi eside ekuqoqweni kwedatha yesimo sezulu.

Yini elandelayo?
Umnakekeli wamanje wepulazi u-Richie Nichols uzoqhubeka nokuqoqa imininingwane yemvula, njengomunye wamavolontiya angaphezu kuka-4,600 ezweni lonke anikela ngedatha nsuku zonke.

Njalo ekuseni ngehora lesi-9, u-Richie Nichols uyaphuma ayohlola igeji yemvula epulazini lomndeni wakubo elisedolobheni laseTasmania eRichmond.

Ephawula isibalo samamilimitha, ube esethumela leyo datha ku-Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).

Lokhu kuyinto umndeni wakhe obukwenza kusukela ngo-1915.

"Lokho siyakuqopha encwadini bese sifaka lezo kusizindalwazi seBOM futhi sikwenza lokho nsuku zonke," kusho uMnu Nichols.

Idatha yemvula ibaluleke kakhulu kubacwaningi ukuze baqonde izitayela zesimo sezulu kanye nemithombo yamanzi omfula, futhi ingasiza ukubikezela izikhukhula.

Umndeni wakwaNichols uklonyeliswe uMklomelo Weminyaka Eyikhulu Wokugqwesa NgoMsombuluko e-Government House nguMbusi waseTasmania, uMhlonishwa u-Barbara Baker.

Izizukulwane zomklomelo ekwenzeni
Leli pulazi selihlale emndenini kaMnuz Nichols izizukulwane ngezizukulwane futhi uthe indondo isho lukhulu — hhayi kuyena kuphela kodwa “kubo bonke abangaphambi kwami nabagcina amarekhodi emvula”.

“Umkhulu wami uJoseph Phillip Nichols wathenga indawo owabe eseyinika indodana yakhe endala, uHobart Osman Nichols kwase kuthi indawo yaphelela kubaba uJeffrey Osman Nichols yase yehlela kimina,” usho kanje.

UMnu Nichols uthe ukufaka isandla emininingwaneni yesimo sezulu kuyingxenye yefa lomndeni elibandakanya ukunakekela imvelo yesizukulwane esizayo.

“Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi sibe nefa lesizukulwane elidlulela ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane, futhi sikubheke ngabomvu lokho mayelana nokutshala izihlahla nokunakekela imvelo,” usho kanje.

Umndeni uqophe imininingwane ngenxa yezikhukhula nesomiso, ngonyaka odlule ubuyise umphumela ophawulekayo we-Brookbank Estate.

"I-Richmond ithathwa njengendawo ewugwadule, kanti ngonyaka odlule bekungunyaka wesibili ezomile ngokwerekhodi ngokweBrookbank, eyayilinganiselwa kumamilimitha angu-320," esho.

Umphathi jikelele wakwaBOM, uChantal Donnelly, uthe le miklomelo ebalulekile ivamise ukuvela emindenini ehlala endaweni izizukulwane ngezizukulwane.

“Kusobala ukuthi kunzima ukuthi umuntu oyedwa azenzele iminyaka eyikhulu,” kusho yena.

“Kungesinye nje isibonelo esihle sokuthi singaba kanjani nalezi zingcezu zolwazi eziphuma ezizukulwaneni ezibaluleke kakhulu ezweni.”

I-BOM ithembele kumavolontiya ukuthola imininingwane yesimo sezulu

Kusukela i-BOM yasungulwa ngo-1908, amavolontiya abe yingxenye enkulu yokuqoqwa kwedatha.

Njengamanje kunamavolontiya angaphezu kuka-4,600 e-Australia anikela nsuku zonke.

UNksz Donnelly uthe amavolontiya abaluleke kakhulu ukuthi i-BOM ithole "isithombe esinembile semvula ezweni lonke".

“Nakuba i-Bureau ineziteshi eziningi zezulu ezishintshayo e-Australia, i-Australia iyizwe elikhulu, futhi akwanele,” kusho yena.

Ngakho-ke imininingwane yemvula esiyiqoqa emndenini wakwaNichols ingelinye lamaphuzu amaningi edatha esingawahlanganisa."

UMnu Nichols uthe unethemba lokuthi umndeni wabo uzoqhubeka nokuqoqa imininingwane yemvula eminyakeni ezayo

Inzwa yokuqoqa imvula, igeji yemvula
