South African Law Would Ban Meteorologists
Weather forecasters are often unreliable but would you send your local weatherman to jail for 10 years? A newly proposed law in South Africa would punish unauthorized weather forecasters with jail time and fines, according to Mother Nature Network. The law would require state-sanctioning for any weather forecasts issues outside of the governments South African Weather Service (SAWS). First offenses would be punished with a fine or up to 5 million rand (About $630,000) or five years in jail. The fines and jail time would be doubled for subsequent offenses.
