Xanadu
Anyone else see the mysterious island of Xanadu on the Metservice homepage? It's about where the Chathams would be.

Re: Xanadu
Its now sitting off the coast of Fiordland and says Xanadu Playstation WHAT , thats the funniest thing ive seen on MS.
Could there be a hacker into thier site perhaps, even so they must know thier way around to be able to create an island and plonk it next to New Zealand.
Initially i thought it was a temparory name for the Chamatms while they got the weather station data up and running.

Re: Xanadu
I was just imagining it as some imaginary island. Presumably with a cool, stormy climate thanks to its location.
