Difficulties Communicating the Weather

Kate Doyle, ABC.

This presentation will cover the difficulties and challenges associated with condensing infinitely complex global processes down into if you will need an umbrella. Alongside the fine line we walk in encouraging the public to understand the uncertainties involved with forecasting which mean it can’t always be correct but at the same time to heed all emergency advice.

After much procrastination and several false starts Kate Doyle graduated from the University of Queensland with a BSc in Geographical Sciences and the Keith Smith Prize for 2017. Despite having very good intentions of going on to save the world through geographical skill she now reports on the weather for the ABC.
