Battle of storms between Molina and Mauri
On Monday at noon, the two quintessential weathermen at TV3, the most veteran of the channel, did not fully share the forecast for the week. Tomàs Molina and Francesc Mauri agreed on the drop in temperatures and the change in weather, but not on the day the rains would arrive. With an hour and a half difference, both used different graphics to inform the audience. On Tot es mou, when Helena Garcia Melero hinted to Molina that his forecasts did not coincide with Mauri's, he acknowledged it: “I don't know who of the two will be right, whether Mauri or I. But from here on [pointing to Friday] we agree,” he justified himself. Melero asked him to specify what they disagreed on. Molina pointed out that he believed the rains would arrive sooner on Wednesday and Mauri, more towards Thursday. But, paradoxically, the graph of the week he had behind him represented it the other way around. On Wednesday, the map of Catalonia appeared quite sunny, with showers only in the Lleida Pyrenees and with temperatures quite high. On Thursday, on the other hand, the map was already packed with clouds, lightning, and rain, and the temperature line took a significant drop. That is to say, the graphic did not align with the conviction expressed by Molina. This happened when there were four minutes left until two in the afternoon.An hour and a half later, after the Telenotícies, it was Francesc Mauri's turn. At half past three in the afternoon, the map had already changed. In the weekly progression chart, Wednesday appeared full of clouds, most of which were dumping rain and lightning over Catalonia. A drastic drop in the temperature line was also indicated, which went from orange to blue. Thursday, on the other hand, unlike the Tot es mou map, the country appeared sunny again, beyond a few clouds in the Lleida Pyrenees.It is very disconcerting. Minister Espadaler already justified it by arguing that meteorology is not an exact science. We can understand that meteorological evolution is constant, that maps are open to interpretation, and that experts do not have to agree on forecasts. But he who has two watches does not know what time it is. And there are times when, instead of clarifying what the weather will be like, it seems they play at confusing people. At the very least, this way there is always someone who gets it right.Another bewildering broadcast was that of the twenty-fifth anniversary musical gala of Catalonia raises the curtain. The common thread was the supposed trajectory of an amateur who, over the course of a quarter of a century, became a professional actress and a successful protagonist. The show kept improving, but it made one suffer. The theater inside the theater it is already hard to swallow, but if it is also broadcast on television it can become a torture. Anyway, break a leg...
