Citizen Science Weather Flying Ant Day 09 July 2021 Did you know that rainfall radar can be hoodwinked by swarms of flying ants? Over several days each summer, we witness “Flying Ant Day” when ants take to the air to mate and disperse. Citizen Science Weather Midwinter in Antarctica 05 July 2021 Gale force winds, temperatures of -30 °C and weeks of darkness. Winter in Antarctica may not seem like everybody’s cup of tea but for meteorologists, and many scientists alike, the coldest, driest and windiest location on Earth is the place to be. Citizen Science Climate In the Spotlight Weather Record-breaking heat in Canada 01 July 2021 Heat, drought, poor air quality, floods and wildfires are expected to worsen with climate change. Western Canada is experiencing all of these in a one week period … while attempting to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Weather Heatwaves 28 June 2021 A heatwave is a prolonged period of abnormally high temperatures, relative to the expected conditions at that given time and place. The exact definition varies around the world, but all heatwaves are classed as extreme weather events. In the Spotlight Weather April Showers 14 April 2021 It is a well-known piece of weather lore that showers are associated with the month of April. As with most weather lore, it has been in use for many centuries. Weather The difference between meteorological and astronomical seasons 27 January 2021 Why are the dates of the seasons different for meteorologists and astronomers? Weather Frozen Ponds 14 January 2021 Have you ever thought about why bodies of water freeze from the top down? We have all seen this on frosty mornings. It sounds trivial, but it is a unique property of water. Climate Climate Modelling 15 December 2020 How is Earth’s climate modelled and how does modelling help our understanding?
