Fantastic workshop on anticipatory action and early warning for extreme weather events in Africa at University of Oxford. Great to connect with old friends from Kenya Met Department 🇰🇪, @icpac_igad and ECMWF

Great opportunity to discuss anticipatory action for mitigation of the humanitarian impact of flood and drought National Centre for Atmospheric Science Connecting Research

Excited to be on an FAOPakistan panel today, discussing the increasing impact of flash drought on Pakistan, and the urgent need for developing anticipatory action protocols for flash drought National Centre for Atmospheric Science Connecting Research

Congratulations @L_A_Barnard! Such fantastic news for Connecting Research and Reading Meteorology, as well as for Luke personally!

Great to be at the EUMETSAT Africa user forum!

Very interesting working group meeting on training needs, especially with regard to accessing and analysing high res Meteosat third generation (MTG) data. EUMETSAT user forum Emily Black

Great to see our colleague Steffen Kothe from DWD presenting at EUMETSAT on the essential role of satellite climate monitoring for understanding climate variability and change in Africa

I am in the middle row 🙂

Very pleased to see extended use of TAMSAT incorporated into two of the draft recommendations from the EUMETSAT Africa user forum!

Another cheesy photo - this time at the gala dinner
