Ua loaʻa i ka ʻohana Nichols o Tasmania ka makana no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka ua ma mua o 100 mau makahiki no BOM

I ka pōkole:
No nā makahiki he 100 a ʻoi, ua hōʻiliʻili manawaleʻa kekahi ʻohana ma ka hema o Tasmania i ka ʻikepili ua ma kā lākou mahiʻai ma Richmond a hoʻouna aku iā ia i ka Bureau of Meteorology.

Ke ʻike nei i ka helu o nā millimeter, a laila hoʻouna ʻo ia i kēlā ʻikepili i ka Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).

He mea kēia a kona ʻohana e hana nei mai ka makahiki 1915 mai.

"Hoʻopaʻa mākou i kēlā i loko o kahi puke a laila hoʻokomo mākou iā lākou i loko o ka pūnaewele BOM a hana mākou i kēlā i kēlā me kēia lā," wahi a Mr. Nichols.

He mea nui loa ka ʻikepili ua no nā kānaka noiʻi e hoʻomaopopo i nā ʻano o ke aniau a me nā kumuwaiwai wai o ka muliwai, a hiki ke kōkua i ka wānana ʻana i nā kahe.

Ua hāʻawi ʻia ka makana 100-Year Excellence i ka ʻohana Nichols ma ka Pōʻakahi ma ka Hale Aupuni e ke Kiaʻāina o Tasmania, ʻo Her Excellency the Honorable Barbara Baker.

He mau hanauna makana e hana ʻia nei
No nā hanauna he nui ka mahiʻai a Mr. Nichols, a ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia he nui ke ʻano o ka makana - ʻaʻole wale nona akā no "ka poʻe a pau i hele ma mua oʻu a mālama i nā moʻolelo ua."

"Ua kūʻai koʻu kupuna kāne ʻo Joseph Phillip Nichols i ka ʻāina, a laila hāʻawi akula i kāna keiki hiapo, ʻo Hobart Osman Nichols, a laila ua lilo ka ʻāina i koʻu makuakāne ʻo Jeffrey Osman Nichols, a laila ua pili iaʻu," wahi āna.

"Ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻo Richmond ma ke ʻano he wahi maloʻo iki, a ʻo ka makahiki i hala ka lua o ka makahiki maloʻo loa ma ka moʻolelo ma ke ʻano o Brookbank, ʻo ia hoʻi ma kahi o 320 milimita," wahi āna.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Chantal Donnelly, ka luna nui o ka BOM, ʻo kēia mau makana koʻikoʻi he hopena pinepine ia o nā ʻohana i noho ma kahi waiwai no nā hanauna.

"He mea paʻakikī loa i ke kanaka hoʻokahi ke hana nona iho no 100 mau makahiki," wahi āna.

"He laʻana maikaʻi ʻē aʻe kēia o ke ʻano e hiki ai iā kākou ke loaʻa kēia mau ʻikepili mai nā hanauna a i nā hanauna he mea nui ia no ka ʻāina."

Hilinaʻi ʻo BOM i nā mea manawaleʻa no ka ʻikepili aniau

Mai ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o ka BOM i ka makahiki 1908, ua lilo nā mea manawaleʻa i mea nui i kāna hōʻiliʻili ʻikepili nui.

Aia ma mua o 4,600 mau limahana manawaleʻa a puni ʻo ʻAukekulelia e hāʻawi nei i kēlā me kēia lā.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ms. Donnelly he mea nui loa nā mea manawaleʻa no BOM e loaʻa ai kahi "kiʻi pololei o ka ua ma ka ʻāina".

"ʻOiai he nui nā kikowaena aniau hana ponoʻī a ka Bureau a puni ʻo Australia, he ʻāina ākea ʻo Australia, a ʻaʻole lawa ia," wahi āna.

"No laila, ʻo ka ʻikepili ua a mākou e hōʻiliʻili ai mai ka ʻohana Nichols kekahi o nā ʻikepili like ʻole e hiki ai iā mākou ke hoʻohui."

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mr. Nichols ke lana nei kona manaʻo e hoʻomau ko lākou ʻohana i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i ka ʻikepili ua no nā makahiki e hiki mai ana.

He mea ʻike no ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i ka ua, he mea ana ua
