James O'loughlin used to have an "I don't get it" section on his radio show.Where people would call up with questions like this one ...
"Why is it that whenever the winds seems to be picking up at the Nobbies weather station it stuffs out and you only get the odd reading or none at all and you don't know what is actually happening ?."
then people get back with their take on what is going on like .
"The lifeguards run up there and disconnect it so that local kiters don't know what is going on "
Then someone else says 'nah they wouldn't do that becasue then the phone will keep ringing with kiters and polies wanting to know if it's windy.
every now and then someone in authority or 'in the know"actually answers the question and people can get a proper nights sleep.

and so on

Soo to kick things off has anyone got theories on this one?

no different to when we used to put potato sacks over the surf cams when it was pumping.
