Mostly Weather

Met Office scientists take a lively look at the fascinating history and science of weather and climate research. In this episode we return to the Mostly Weather Hall of Fame to welcome in our first female inductee, Joanne Simpson. Although well recognised within certain meteorological circles, surprisingly few people (including as it turns out, our podcasters!) are aware of her contributions to the science and influence on the position of women within it. The Met Office is the United Kingdom's national weather service. The Met Office website carries the latest UK and global weather forecasts, detailed information on weather types and climate science and UK weather records for previous months, seasons and years. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/
