🔒 Insiders Only: Help rename the Gaughan Gauge

The Weather Authority Chief Meteorologist John Gaughan has been using the Gaughan Gauge to help you get a sense of the next day's forecast for 30 years. What should we call it when Richard Nunn takes over the job in June? (WJXT)

Much like the United Kingdom in recent weeks, there will soon be a changing of the guard at The Local Station...meteorologically speaking.

The Weather Authority Chief Meteorologist John Gaughan is retiring after 30 years at the end of May and will be handing his role over to Richard Nunn.

Since 1993, John has been helping you get a complete grasp of the next day’s forecast by using the Gaughan Gauge, a 1-10 scale of how the next day’s weather would be. Richard will now need a name for his rankings.
