“The Meteorological Directorate of Chile has statistics for many years and the most intense precipitation, from the year 2000 onwards in Santiago, was in 2002,” he assured.
At the same time, he provided more details of the event that was about to take place in Chile, ensuring that “a drop from 90 to 110 millimeters was expected, in 2002 there were 112 and, in the first days of June of that year, it reached 243.8” .
“That is not necessary”
Torres’ interventions did not go unnoticed by Michelle Adamwho, taking advantage of her platform as a meteorologist on the morning show “Tu día” (Channel 13), did not hide her discomfort at the attitude of her colleague from TVN.
It all happened when the animator José Luis Reppening highlighted the work of the weather professionals, particularly that of his co-worker.
“Yes, I think “That’s not necessary,” he said. before complementing his statement by assuring that “meteorology and science is such a beautiful job that is made available to the community, to the population, at the service of the people (…), we have to support each other.”
