Founder and director Dr. Meeno Schrader has worked in weather around the world for more than 23 years. He began by working extensively in his native Northern Germany, then in the USA, in New Zealand, in Australia, in the Caribbean, in South Korea and in many areas of middle and Southern Europe. Along with this comes a wealth of experience in the area of marine weather, gained from logging over 40,000 nautical miles - most of it as skipper.

Even as a student he was already trusted as a weather advisor for international sailing events such as the Baltic Match Race 1986 or in 1988 as the advising Meteorologist and Oceanographer for the German National Sailing Team in the Olympic Games in Pusan, South Korea. Through these early experiences he had already come in contact with the world`s best sailors.

Since 1995 Meeno Schrader has kept busy in various locations in and outside of Germany, his last stint as a Media Meteorologist with Jörg Kachelmann in Switzerland. There he developed his own personal style of presenting weather in an entertaining and engaging way in front of the camera and over the radio waves. In 1998 he returned to Northern Germany in order to pursue his long-held desire to start his own weather advising company.

In the meantime Meeno Schrader established himself as one of the best weather advisors in the world of sail racing. The worlds fastest and most successful regatta sailors like Ellen MacArthur (recently with her current world-record nonstop solo trip around the world from Nov 2004 to Feb 2005), Roland Jordain and many others choose to be advised by him.

In the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Meeno Schrader worked for both the German and Canadian teams, who currently employ him for the preparations for Quingdao in 2008. Additionally, he advises the "United Internet Team Germany" for the America`s Cup 2007. Whether in the Sydney-Hobart Race, the Star Boat World Championships in San Francisco, the Daimler Chrysler North Atlantic Challenge, the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, or the Kieler Woche; Meeno Schrader is always in his element.

Almost as a side job, but one that asks for intense commitment and delivers much enjoyment, he also presents his own daily weather forecast for the northern Germany TV network, NDR (Norddeutschen Fernsehen). Such a position is hardly something to forget when after over 1600 appearances Meeno Schrader now belongs among the most beloved media meteorologists in Germany.

Meeno Schrader is supported in all of his many pursuits by the engaged and qualified team of his WetterWelt company.
