As the country shut down for Covid-19 it became obvious that meteorologists were no longer reporting ‘in the field’. Lorraine Parow immediately jumped into action, deciding to do selfies and report weather events in her local neighbourhood by reporting from ‘the field’.
Although she wanted to cheer people up with outdoor scenes, as a photographer Parow had rarely posed in front of the camera. To overcome this problem she decided to wear as many silly hats as possible in order to gather the courage up to do selfies for this new project: sillyhatweatherforecast.
