Radio Monsoon

Fishers talk of wind, waves and fish. Monsoon weather radio is an experiment run by scientists, journalists and seagoing fisherfolk.

We get weather, wind, and sea state data from government agencies and make local language bulletins. These bulletins are played over small speakers at village squares, LCD screens in local cafes, cable television, free phone calls, text messages, Facebook updates and tweets – and as word of mouth! Then we listen to our listeners to learn what weather means for them, how they respond to it and how

to make forecasts better and more relevant. Our first tests are in Kerala, India, at Vizhinjam, a natural port near the famous tourist spot, Kovalam beach. Powered by the newsroom audio editor, Hindenburg Broadcaster (www.hindenberg.com)
