Weather Studies
  

World's wettest area.   Seven metres of rain deluge annually in these Zones.   Despite that, there are many dry sunny days to enjoy. We witness the various effects of the rain, see the measuring systems used and explore the causes for and effects of the deluges.   We  explore how the communities cope and protect themselves, from regular floods. Weather maps in the information centres help us read the ever changing skies.  Glaciers and rain forests need this volume of precipitation to survive.
