Thomas Bucheli rails against "disproportionate claims"

Mit «Meteo» holt er seit Jahren die besten Quoten, aber SF-Wetterchef Thomas Bucheli glaubt, dass Meteorologen ein schlechtes Image haben.

"If we predict the weather correctly, we are gods, but if we don't, all hell breaks loose!" he says in the latest issues of the TV magazines Tele and TV-Star. Meteorology has undergone enormous development in the last 30 years - today you can predict the weather five days in advance as accurately as you could the next day. According to Bucheli, the public unfortunately doesn't appreciate this enough: "People have unreasonable expectations. We are expected to predict the weather exactly for the next two weeks. That's absolute nonsense!"
