In the Spotlight Weather Why do clouds form? Part 2: What goes up must cool down 05 May 2022 Cloud formation is beautiful to watch but harder to explain. In the second of a series of articles, Frank Barrow explains the processes behind the formation of clouds in our atmosphere. Climate In the Spotlight Weather Arctic Ultra Marathon 21 April 2022 Earlier this year, Enda Brady took on the challenge of a lifetime, 5 marathons in 5 days in the Arctic. Find out how he got on, and why he will NEVER complain about being cold in this country again! Climate In the Spotlight Weather Key findings from the IPCC's Working Group III Climate Report 07 April 2022 Hannah Mallinson, Science Engagement Manager at the Royal Meteorological Society presents some of the key findings from the recent IPCC's Working Group III Climate Report In the Spotlight Weather Masters of the storm 13 March 2022 For the first time ever, three named storms hit the UK and Ireland in just one week. Simon Brown, Services Director at the Met Office, reveals the hard work going on behind the scenes, from advances in forecasting to advising the Government and warning the public. Climate In the Spotlight Weather Key findings from the IPCC's Working Group II Climate Report 02 March 2022 Prof Liz Bentley, Chief Executive of the Royal Meteorological Society, presents some of the key findings from the recent IPCC's Working Group II Climate Report (published on 28 February 2022). Weather The 528 line 23 February 2022 During the winter months, fans of snow will often scrutinise synoptic pressure charts for something called the ‘528 line’. Kirsty McCabe explains more about the thickness of the atmosphere and why this mysterious number often heralds wintry weather. Climate In the Spotlight Weather Quest to the Forbidden Plateau 27 January 2022 In December 2021, on the centenary of the Shackleton-Rowett Expedition, a group of eight intrepid explorers arrived at Portal Point in the northwestern Antarctic Peninsula. But would their mission succeed? Weather Rain, sleet or snow? 06 January 2022 Why is it so hard to forecast whether we'll get rain, sleet or snow? The problem is that just a few degrees difference in air temperature can determine whether you’ll be throwing snowballs, splashing in puddles or skidding on dangerous black ice. In the Spotlight Weather Snowmakers in the UK - part 2 08 December 2021 Snow in the UK is a (fairly) rare and wonderous thing. Forecasting snowfall is very important, but it is obvious when things go wrong! In the second part of this mini series, Frank Barrow introduces us to Polar lows.
