About this Journal

Weather is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles written for a broad audience, including those having a professional and a general interest in the weather, as well as those working in related fields such as climate science, oceanography, hydrometeorology and other related atmospheric and environmental sciences. Articles covering recent weather and climate events are particularly welcome.

Weather has been published monthly since May 1946 and is a leading journal for all those motivated to learn more about weather and climate, as well as its links with related fields. Submissions to Weather should be of excellent quality, engaging, and highly illustrative on any topic in relation to the weather and climate. Weather has a broad audience ranging from scientists and practitioners in both academia and industry, to enthusiasts, students, and teachers. Authors must therefore consider the wide readership of Weather – while contributions covering a wide variety of topics are welcome, authors should ensure that the terminology and technical content of articles is clearly explained and can be understood by a non-specialist.

Weather is also the 'house journal' of the Society and seeks to keep the reader up-to-date with Society News, and includes meeting and conference reports. The journal is in full-colour and photographs of weather events are an important feature. The monthly feature Weather Log provides a summary of the weather of each month and includes meteorological statistics and weather maps. The journal also publishes several other short form articles, including Insights and Climate Change Shorts, which are short back-to-basics explainer articles on meteorological and climate change topics, Spotlights, which provide a high-level analysis of a recent notable weather event, book reviews, and Weather in my life, which highlights some of the diversity within the field.

Submissions are encouraged from individuals at all stages of their career, including early career researchers and professionals! Articles are published in Weather free of charge unless the author chooses to publish their article Open Access.
