The impact of COVID-19 on the Weather journal

Print subscribers of Weather may have already received an insert with the April edition  of the journal outlining the impact of Covid-19 on the process of printing and distribution of Weather.

Our publishers and their partners in most regions are now working from home. This, combined with some country-wide lockdowns, is leading to disruption throughout the publishing industry. 

Although the situation is constantly changing, it is likely that the April edition of Weather may be the last printed version until the current crisis is over. However, whilst the next few issues may be disrupted, print subscribers will be sent backdated copies in due course. In the meantime, we would like to encourage all members to access Weather online.

If you already access Weather online, please continue as normal. For those of you who have not previously accessed the online version, please follow the instructions below, choosing the option that best describes you:
