Usapho lakwaNichols eTasmania lufumene ibhaso ngenxa yeminyaka engaphezu kwe-100 yokurekhodwa kwemvula ngenxa ye-BOM

Kufuphi:
Kangangeminyaka engaphezu kwe-100, intsapho ekumzantsi weTasmania ibisoloko iqokelela idatha yemvula ngokuzithandela kwifama yayo eRichmond ize iyithumele kwi-Bureau of Meteorology.

I-BOM inike usapho lakwaNichols iMbasa yoBugcisa yeMinyaka eli-100 enikezwe yirhuluneli yaseTasmania ngokuzinikela kwabo ixesha elide ekuqokeleleni idatha yemozulu.

Yintoni elandelayo?
Umgcini wefama ngoku uRichie Nichols uza kuqhubeka nokuqokelela idatha yemvula, njengomnye wabavolontiya abangaphezu kwama-4,600 kulo lonke ilizwe abanikela ngedatha yonke imihla.

Rhoqo kusasa ngentsimbi ye-9, uRichie Nichols uyaphuma aye kujonga ireyithingi yemvula kwifama yosapho lwakhe kwidolophu yaseRichmond eTasmania.

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

Le yinto intsapho yakhe ebiyenza ukusukela ngo-1915.

“Siyayibhala phantsi loo nto kwincwadi size siyifake kwiwebhusayithi yeBOM kwaye siyenza yonke imihla,” utshilo uMnu. Nichols.

Idatha yemvula ibaluleke kakhulu kubaphandi ukuze baqonde iindlela zemozulu kunye nemithombo yamanzi asecaleni komlambo, kwaye inokunceda ekuqikeleleni izikhukula.

Usapho lakwaNichols lunikwe iMbasa yokuGqwesa yeMinyaka eli-100 ngoMvulo kwiNdlu kaRhulumente yiRhuluneli yaseTasmania, uMhlonitshwa uBarbara Baker.

Izizukulwana zembasa ezisakhiwayo
Le fama ibisoloko ikwintsapho kaMnu. Nichols kangangezizukulwana kwaye uthe eli bhaso lithetha lukhulu — kungekuphela nje kuye kodwa “kubo bonke abo bangaphambi kwam nabagcina iirekhodi zemvula”.

“Utatomkhulu wam uJoseph Phillip Nichols wathenga le ndawo waza wayinika unyana wakhe omdala, uHobart Osman Nichols, emva koko le ndawo yaphelela kutata uJeffrey Osman Nichols, emva koko yonke loo nto yaphelela kum,” utshilo.

UMnu. Nichols uthe ukufaka isandla kwidatha yemozulu yinxalenye yelifa losapho elibandakanya ukunyamekela okusingqongileyo kwisizukulwana esilandelayo.

“Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba sibe nelifa lezizukulwana elidluliselwa kwizizukulwana, kwaye sinomdla kakhulu kuloo nto ngokumalunga nokutyala imithi nokunyamekela okusingqongileyo,” utshilo.

Olu sapho lurekhode idatha ngexesha lezikhukula kunye nembalela, kwaye kunyaka ophelileyo lufumene iziphumo eziphawulekayo kwiBrookbank Estate.

“IRichmond ibekwe njengendawo eyomileyo kancinci, kwaye unyaka ophelileyo ibingunyaka wesibini owomileyo kwiirekhodi zeBrookbank, eyayimalunga ne-320 millimeters,” utshilo.

Umphathi jikelele we-BOM, uChantal Donnelly, uthe la mabhaso abalulekileyo adla ngokuba yimiphumo yeentsapho ezihlale kwipropathi kangangezizukulwana.

“Kucacile ukuba kunzima ukuba umntu omnye azenzele eyedwa kangangeminyaka eli-100,” utshilo.

"Ngomnye umzekelo omhle wendlela esinokuba nolwazi oluhambelana nezizukulwana ezahlukeneyo olubaluleke kakhulu kwilizwe."

I-BOM ixhomekeke kumavolontiya ukuze ifumane idatha yemozulu

Ukususela oko i-BOM yasekwa ngo-1908, amavolontiya ebeyinxalenye ebalulekileyo yokuqokelelwa kwayo kwedatha enkulu.

Okwangoku kukho abantu abazithandelayo abangaphezu kwama-4,600 kulo lonke elase-Australia abanikela imihla ngemihla.

UNksz Donnelly uthe amavolontiya abaluleke kakhulu kwi-BOM ukuze afumane "umfanekiso ochanekileyo wemvula kulo lonke ilizwe".

“Nangona i-Bureau inezikhululo ezininzi zemozulu ezizenzekelayo e-Australia, i-Australia lilizwe elikhulu, kwaye akwanelanga,” utshilo.

“Ngoko ke idatha yemvula esiyiqokelelayo kusapho lakwaNichols yenye nje yeenkcukacha ezininzi ezahlukeneyo esinokuzihlanganisa.”

UMnu. Nichols uthe unethemba lokuba usapho lwabo luza kuqhubeka nokuqokelela idatha yemvula kwiminyaka ezayo.
