Severe Weather Warning?

Change in the weather?  Not likely.

Foreign correspondent Whitney Thurlow reporting in.

My computer receives severe weather warnings whenever the NZ Met Service issue a particularly nasty weather forecast.  Sitting here in the heat of Peru I am being bombarded with severe weather warning from the South Island.   As I watch a vulture circle the desiccated remains of some poor creature that died from thirst in the desert, the words "gale force winds", "heavy rain", " snow lowering to..." seem like some remotely familiar language.  I guess extreme weather changes, or even the concept that weather can change at all is something I will just have to take the Met Service's word on.  .
