Usapho lukaTasmania lukaNichols lufumana ibhaso leminyaka engaphezu kwe-100 yokurekhodwa kwemvula kwiBOM

Kufuphi:
Ngaphezu kweminyaka eli-100, usapho olusemazantsi eTasmanian ngokuzithandela luqokelela iinkcukacha zemvula kwifama yalo eseRichmond kwaye liyithumele kwiBureau of Meteorology.

I-BOM inike intsapho yakwaNichols i-100-Year Excellence Award enikezelwa yirhuluneli yaseTasmania ngokuzibophezela kwabo ixesha elide ekuqokeleleni idatha yemozulu.

Yintoni elandelayo?
Umgcini wefama wangoku uRichie Nichols uya kuqhubeka nokuqokelela idatha yemvula, njengomnye wamavolontiya angaphezu kwe-4,600 kwilizwe lonke abafaka idatha imihla ngemihla.

Rhoqo kusasa ngentsimbi yesi-9, uRichie Nichols uyaphuma aye kukhangela igeyiji yemvula kwifama yosapho lwakhe kwidolophu yaseTasmania eRichmond.

Ukuqaphela inani leemilimitha, emva koko uthumela loo datha kwi-Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).

Le yinto ebisenziwa yintsapho yakhe ukususela ngowe-1915.

“Sirekhoda oko encwadini kwaye emva koko sifaka ezo kwiwebhusayithi yeBOM kwaye siyenza yonke imihla,” utshilo uMnu Nichols.

Idatha yemvula ibaluleke kakhulu kubaphandi ukuba baqonde iintsingiselo zemozulu kunye nemithombo yamanzi omlambo, kwaye inokunceda ukuqikelela izikhukhula.

Usapho lakwaNichols lunikwe iMbasa ye-100 yeminyaka yokuGqwesa ngoMvulo kwiNdlu kaRhulumente yiRhuluneli yaseTasmania, oHloniphekileyo uBarbara Baker.

Izizukulwana ngembasa ekwenzeni
Ifama ibikusapho lukaMnu. Nichols kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana kwaye uthe eli wonga lithetha lukhulu — hayi kuye kuphela kodwa “kubo bonke abo bandandulelayo nabagcina iirekhodi zemvula”.

“Utatomkhulu wam uJoseph Phillip Nichols wathenga le ndawo waza wayinika unyana wakhe wamazibulo, uHobart Osman Nichols yaza ke le ndawo yaphelela kubawo uJeffrey Osman Nichols yaza yehlela kum,” utshilo.

Umnumzana Nichols uthe ukufaka isandla kwiinkcukacha zemozulu yinxalenye yelifa losapho elibandakanya ukukhathalela indalo esingqongileyo kwisizukulwana esilandelayo.

“Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba sibe nelifa lemveli elidlulela kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana, kwaye sizimisele kakhulu kulo nto malunga nokutyalwa kwemithi nokukhathalela indalo esingqongileyo,” utshilo.

Usapho lubhale iinkcukacha ngeempuphuma kunye nembalela, kunyaka ophelileyo ubuyisele isiphumo esibonakalayo seBrookbank Estate.

“I-Richmond ihlelwa njengendawo eyomileyo, kwaye kunyaka ophelileyo ibingowesibini unyaka owomileyo kwirekhodi ngokweBrookbank, ebimalunga neemilimitha ezingama-320,” utshilo.

Umanejala jikelele weBOM, uChantal Donnelly, uthe la mawonga abalulekileyo adla ngokuba sisiphumo seentsapho ezihlala kwipropathi kangangezizukulwana.

“Ngokucacileyo kunzima ukuba umntu omnye azenzele eyedwa iminyaka eli-100,” utshilo.

"Ngomnye nje umzekelo obalaseleyo wendlela esinokuba nayo ezi nkcukacha ziphuma kwizizukulwana ezibaluleke kakhulu kwilizwe."

I-BOM ixhomekeke kumavolontiya kwiinkcukacha zemozulu

Ekubeni i-BOM yasungulwa kwi-1908, amavolontiya aye abandakanyeka ekuqokeleleni idatha enkulu.

Kukho ngoku ngaphezulu kwama-4,600 amavolontiya ajikeleze iOstreliya anikela yonke imihla.

UNksz Donnelly uthe amavolontiya abaluleke kakhulu ukuba i-BOM ifumane "umfanekiso ochanekileyo wemvula kulo lonke ilizwe".

“Ngelixa i-Bureau inenani lezikhululo zemozulu ezizisebenzelayo eOstreliya, iOstreliya lilizwe elikhulu, kwaye akwanelanga,” utshilo.

"Ke idatha yemvula esiyiqokelelayo kusapho lakwaNichols yenye yeengongoma ezininzi ezahlukeneyo zedatha esinokuzihlanganisa."

Umnumzana Nichols uthe unethemba lokuba usapho lwabo luyaqhubeka nokuqokelela idatha yemvula kwiminyaka ezayo

Inzwa yokuqokelela imvula, igeyiji yemvula
