In June 2007, unable to find a suitable internship and desperately wanting to get my amateur meteorological
skills out onto the world wide web, I, Christopher D. Bianchi, started Weatherversity with the idea of giving college
students a weather forecast they might actually be able to understand, sympathize with and enjoy.
I try to utilize
my inappropriate and otherwise unappreciated sense of humor in my blogs to make the weather a little more relatable to the
average frat bro and sorority gal, and I invite you, my readers, to do the same. If you have any thoughts on the weather that
you want to share on an unofficial and relaxed platform such as this, shoot me an e-mail at chrisbianchi@weatherversity.net
and I'd love to have you post your thoughts here.
Our difference is that
even though we might not have the almost always incorrect hour-by-hour crap on weather.com, what you see here is as close
to right as you're going to get. I also include detailed forecasts for Friday and Saturday nights, because what's a pitcher
or five of beer if you're going to get drenched on the walk home? Seriously, check this site out, it's not flashy, but it's
good.
Weatherversity is updated several times a day to give you the most up to date, personalized and specified forecast
that you can have. Weatherversity forecasts use the same techniques regular forecasters use: computer models and simple meteorological observations.
Unlike national forecast providers such as weather.com and Accuweather, Weatherversity singles out a specific location, Boston,
and works to create the best forecast it can for the area.
I hope you enjoy our website. Please do not hesitate
to contact Weatherversity with any questions or concerns (which I hope there are little of). Thank you and enjoy!
As of September 2007, Weatherversity is also the official
forecaster for The Daily Free Press, the independent student newspaper at Boston University and the 4th
largest newspaper in Boston. Check out The Daily Free Press for Weatherversity forecasts.
Many thanks
to Ryan Steele and Tomas Donoso for their help in developing the site. Also thanks to Regina Romero for being the Scorcese
of the weather forecasting videos you can view on the Detailed Forecast page.
