  • Excellent podcast

    A really interesting and informative weather related discussion with very engaging experts in the field.

    The conversational format works really well and has the potential to hopefully cover different areas of meteorology such as the science behind specific weather phenomena, climate change and significant weather events in history.

    It was pitched at a level that meant people with varying degrees of knowledge of weather would learn something new. I found it very educational and I'm looking f... more

  • Good informative show

    I had no idea about the many types of cloud until I subscribed. Also that todays weather forecasts use observations for hundreds of ago as well as up to date observations. I look forward to learning more fascinating details soon.

    I love to hear them on if global warming makes for more extremes if perhaps we can expect future forecasts to be less accurate! Also on if there is any measurable progress on accuracy at the moment.
