This is Geri Haerynck, an 82-year-old man, who has been distributing his weather report every year since 1974 to the inhabitants of his town: “All my predictions were good for 2022”, he says in the columns of the Newspaper. “Sometimes you don’t have to look far. It’s an innate talent. I am not a meteorologist, but I can predict the weather,” he adds.
A well-kept secret
But how does he practically never make a mistake? ” Statistics ! he says. In addition to calculations, Geri is equipped with weather radar and a windmill made from an old child’s bicycle wheel. Every day, in a notebook, the budding meteorologist writes down the information provided by his installations. He then waits for L’Épiphanie to share his predictions: “I can’t tell you everything, but at L’Épiphanie, I know everything I need to know for the following year. Every year, it’s 75% correct”.
However, his forecast only concerns the municipality of Koekelare: “Next week, the weather will be the same as this week. June will be sunny, and July will be bad,” he predicts.
