About Weather Chit Chat
First and foremost, this site was created for fun and hopefully teaches people a little something about the weather along the way. This site is run by Matt (in his free time), a climatologist/meteorologist, and has had a passion for weather since at least 5th grade! He has a Ph.D. in Meteorology and Climatology from Arizona State University. This site is in no way connected to his place of employment, and all views and opinions expressed are his own.
Everything started with a weather station when Matt was in high school back in the early 2000s. Enjoying having weather conditions in his own backyard, he wanted to share it with others. On top of that he had a 1969 Volkswagon Bus with another weather station to be used for chasing (slowly). Combining these two things, the site WeatherBus.com was developed! Throughout the years it went through many revisions and updates that has led to what you see today.
WeatherBus.com has turned into WeatherChitChat to include more information sincer the Weather Bus was sadly destroyed in a fire. This new site still feature current weather conditions at the orignal location in Gold Canyon and in Northeast Mesa; but now includes an active blog so weather and climate information can be shared with everyone and hopefully you learn a little something. If you have any questions about the weather feel free to reach out!
