Tackling the Persistent Uncertainty in Aerosol Effects on Climate Ken Carslaw will explore why, despite decades of observations and increasingly sophisticated models, aerosol effects remain a major source of uncertainty in climate prediction. 30 September Online www.rmets.org/event/master...

ParaChute: Improving Convection and Turbulence in High-Resolution Weather Models In this talk, Alison will introduce the ParaChute programme and describe how new developments are beginning to improve the physical realism of high-resolution models. Register: www.rmets.org/event/parach...

Despite huge increases in global aerosol observations and increasingly sophisticated representations in climate models, our assessment of the aerosol effect on global climate remains stubbornly uncertain. Professor Ken Carslaw explores why in our upcoming masterclass www.rmets.org/event/master...

On this International Literacy Day, we have launched a new resource for teachers in collaboration with Field Studies Council, bringing together outdoor learning, climate education and media literacy. Find out more about our climate media literacy resources: www.metlink.org/blog/primary...

Have you ever wondered how different the D-Day forecast would have been if Group Captain James Stagg had access to modern meteorological technology? Read www.rmets.org/sites/defaul... to find out whether, more than 80 years later, modern meteorology would have led to a different conclusion.

Weather and climate affect every aspect of our lives but understanding them requires more than forecasts and headlines. Introducing the RMetS Member Portal: a new member-exclusive hub for expert views, interviews, blogs, career stories, event recordings and more. www.rmets.org/members?utm_...

Aerosols can influence clouds, precipitation, sunlight and climate. A special class of these particles – ice-nucleating particles – can trigger ice formation in clouds and may play an important role in climate feedbacks.

How do tiny particles in the atmosphere influence clouds, weather, and climate? And why do aerosol effects remain one of the largest uncertainties in climate prediction? Our 3-part masterclass series explore these questions with researchers from the University of Leeds. www.rmets.org/events/all

The next event in our ‘Diverse Voices’ online series, in conjunction with the Royal Geographical Society’s 'Geography for All’ initiative will feature Ishani Mistry & Tina Thomson who have come to the field of weather and climate after starting out in Geography. www.rmets.org/event/divers...

The State of the UK Climate 2025 report, prepared annually by the Met Office and partners, looks back at the weather of 2025, as well as the previous decade and compares it to long-term climate records for the UK. 📖 Read the report: https://bit.ly/4wyWuzw @rmets.org @metoffice.gov.uk @noc.ac.uk

📢 New Special Issue from Weather! Featuring contributions from the Royal Meteorological Society's Early Career & Student Conference 2025, this issue highlights research on heatwaves, hurricanes, tropical cyclones, atmospheric modelling, and more. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4fsTA8w #Meteorology @rmets.org

Why doesn’t 30°C always feel like 30°C? It might feel pleasantly warm in a light breeze one day, but on a different day the same temperature can feel oppressive, sticky and exhausting. That’s because air temperature doesn’t tell the whole story. Read more: www.rmets.org/metmatters/h...

The final day of the RMetS Annual Weather and Climate Conference is underway. Attendees heard from Steve Ramsdale on the role of AI in meteorology and Kaja Milczewska on air, climate and health equity, before networking over posters and refreshments.

Two workshops at the WAC conference explored climate adaptation from different perspectives. One explored the value of interdisciplinary & local knowledge in building resilience. The other examined how climate data, & resources can help or hinder local adaptation decision-making.

Day two of the RMetS Annual Weather and Climate Conference is well underway! The morning featured parallel sessions on our changing climate, urban, and tropical and extratropical cyclones, before delegates continued discussions over lunch.

Mike Kendon from the Met Office discusses the upcoming State of the UK Climate report at the RMetS Annual Weather and Climate Conference – stay tuned for more news soon!

As the RMetS Early Career and Student Conference came to a close, the Annual Weather and Climate Conference got underway. Delegates shared research spanning forecasting to air quality, while conversations, new connections and collaborations continued throughout the day.

The last day of the Early Career and Student Conference started with an engaging session about Attribution and Drivers. The talks highlighted how attribution science is deepening our understanding of our changing climate.

The day finished with the second poster session and drinks reception, giving the students and researchers another opportunity to showcase their work and connect with others across the weather and climate community.

This afternoon's Machine Learning session explored improving cloud parameterisations, forecasting stratospheric conditions and reducing uncertainty in ensemble data assimilation. It was fascinating to see how machine learning is advancing weather prediction.

Ever thought a game of catch could teach you about research communication? That was how Matt Williamson opened his Storytelling for Research Workshop yesterday: if no one catches the ball, there’s no conversation. His engaging talk showed why stories are such a powerful way to start conversations.

Day 2 of the RMetS Early Career and Student Conference 2026 is in progress! This morning's speakers explored water extremes around the world, sparking great discussions. Looking forward to another afternoon of sessions and poster presentations.

We're delighted to see several papers from our journals featured in Carbon Brief's new interactive climate science publications database. Congratulations to all the authors whose work has been recognised! Explore the database: interactive.carbonbrief.org/cosmos/data/...
