This was a fascinating chat with Prof Adam Scaife about teleconnections and global weather drivers, and how they help us forecast the weather on seasonal timescales

20 years ago today was my first day Met Office - UK I met some wonderful people that day, and plenty more along the way. I couldn’t have asked for a more rewarding, fascinating and varied career, or a more supportive employer. Here’s to the next 2 decades! 🥳

Looking forward to this and excited to be giving a keynote after this session about the importance of the social and behavioural sciences in meteorology, and how we can empower people to make better decisions in the face of extreme and impactful weather in our changing world

In this weeks #WeatherSnap Clare Nasir and I discuss some impactful weather for the UK and Australia. And we talk about the comfort index, the temperature at which the human body has to do little work to keep the internal body temperature stable. The numbers might surprise you!

Great fun being part of this feature, but the message is more serious. Our climate is changing, mitigation and adaptation is required. Extreme weather is becoming more frequent and more impactful. Met Office is working hard to help people plan, prepare and respond to extremes
