For almost a century the Mason family of Feilding have been keeping a closer eye on the weather than most people. But now, at 94, Alan Mason is looking for a successor. Every morning about 7am he checks his rain gauge and opens the hatch on his purpose made thermometer board and then heads up to his office and emails the information to NIWA. Source: NIWA
