About Us

Becoming a Fellow normally requires a formal qualification (eg. a first degree in a science subject and/or post-graduate degree or an NVQ in a relevant discipline) and at least five years of professional experience within or directly related to meteorology. Exceptionally, long experience and performance at a high professional level, suitably attested by peer review, can replace the requirement for a formal academic or vocational qualification. MSc or PhD study in a relevant subject counts as one or two years experience respectively.

Fellows are elected by Council from among the Associate Fellows on the recommendation of the Accreditation Board. To be considered for election to Fellow applicants need to be proposed by two existing Fellows.

Those elected may use FRMetS as a post-nominal to signal a high level of professional competence in meteorology or a closely related discipline.

Below is a list of Fellows of the Society entitled to use FRMetS as a sign of professional competence.
