By Christelle Capel
English

A survey of Météo France volunteers during 2008 underscores the main characteristics and motivations of these 3,000 people who take daily measurements that are essential to Météo France. Very firmly rooted in the place where they live, they are enthusiastic about this solitary activity. Above all, it allows them to better understand their “territory” and also to be “recognized” even though they do not take part in weather forecasting.
