Early life and educationPhillips was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario,[1] studied geography at the University of Windsor,[2] graduating in 1967 with a BA. CareerPhillips taught high school for a short time.[3] He was then hired by the Meteorological Branch of Transport Canada to conduct research on the Great Lakes in Toronto.[4] The work involved using climatological data to answer questions about climatic records: farmers asking for frost-free seasons or temperature trends, urban planners assessing the location for an airport or about the climatology of the wind for tall-buildings and more general public queries.[5] In the 1990s Phillips was filmed by the Weather Network, which created a series of 90-second trivia shorts about various weather topics entitled "Ask the Expert".[3] Phillips studies climate and promotes awareness and understanding of weather and climate in Canada. As a weather historian he has collected and catalogued more than 35,000 weather stories.[3] Each year since 1996 he has compiled a list and description of the year's most interesting weather stories.[6] For nearly a decade he wrote the Weather-wise column in Canadian Geographic magazine. Each year he creates a calendar based on weather trivia.[7] As of 2015, Phillips continues to make frequent appearances on national radio and television as a commentator on weather and climate matters.[3] Awards
