The RMetS Legacies Fund supports Society members by financing scientific activities, such as expeditions, research, and conference attendance. Recent recipient, PhD Researcher, @Kanzis Mattu, shares how the Legacies Fund enabled her to co-chair the 2024 RMetS Early Career and Student Conference. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eRiZAnwQ

Climate education should be interdisciplinary, making use of opportunities for synoptic assessment or teaching sequencing to cross-reference learning across subjects – for example, photosynthesis in biology with the carbon cycle in chemistry. Professor @Sylvia Knight, Head of Education at RMetS, discusses what climate literacy is and why it’s important. Read more: https://lnkd.in/e4e23teM. #climateeducation #educators #curriculum

Peer review is essential to the scientific process, whereby the scientific community provide constructive feedback about journal articles submitted for publication. During the recent RMetS Early Career and Student Conference, the Society found that most early career respondents had no experience of peer review but were keen to get involved. Read more about how RMetS is supporting early career researchers to engage in the peer review process at https://lnkd.in/eyYVn3BT. #peerview #academicjournal #earlycareerresearchers
Calling all early career researchers and professionals: Peer review needs you!

This afternoon, RMetS Chief Executive, Professor Liz Bentley, is sharing practical advice for organisations striving to reduce their emissions. Professor Bentley will draw on the Royal Meteorological Society's own journey to achieving net zero, as a signatory of the Pledge to Net Zero initiative. Launched in 2019 to convene fast, science-based action in the UK’s environmental sector, more than 160 organisations are signed up to Pledge to Net Zero. #PledgeToNetZero
All welcome to our #Pledgetonetzero event 3pm Tuesday - sharing practical action and case studies from our signatories. https://lnkd.in/e7fvvfiJ Share actions and ideas was the main reason for establishing www.pledgetonetzero.org so this should be a great event to learn from others in our sector and to get practical ideas that you can take right away to your organisation. We'll have contributions from Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS), WSP in the UK and others with plenty of time for you to ask questions. Tuesday 3-4pm - registration above. See you there!

Do you know a person, project or programme within academia, science, or business that has made significant contributions to educating or motivating organisations in their response to meteorological challenges, for example climate change or significant weather events? The Award for Impact recognises contributions from professional and amateur communities. It may be awarded to those whose work does not naturally lend itself necessarily to publication in scientific literature but is of significant value to the science of meteorology. Nominate a worthy individual or cause for this award by 18 October at https://lnkd.in/eFXDCHaS. #meteorology #weather #climate

Communicators have a considerable role to play in shaping how society responds to the challenges we face and inspiring people to act. Despite growing awareness amongst the public, misinformation about climate change is still widely reported. Grounding your communications in science is one of the best ways to tackle misinformation while ensuring that your content is credible and engaging. Take advantage of the PRCA summer sale and get 30% discount on the next RMetS' climate change communications half-day course, when you register before the end of July!

Climate education could be cross-disciplinary – or, taking it one step further, could be taught as a separate subject. However, this would miss the opportunity to show students that what they are learning in all subjects is relevant to their understanding of climate change, demonstrating links between subjects without duplication of what they are hearing, where appropriate. It would also risk becoming an optional subject or topic. However, synoptic, cross-topic or cross-discipline assessment could provide real opportunities. Professor Sylvia Knight, Head of Education at RMetS, discusses what climate literacy is and why it’s important. Read more: https://lnkd.in/e4e23teM #climateeducation #educators #curriculum

Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS) reposted this
Today the Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS) published the Met Office’s annual #StateofUKClimate Report for 2023. The report reveals how climate change is causing a dramatic increase in the frequency of temperature extremes and number of temperature records the UK experiences. New analysis of observations shows that extremes of temperature in the UK are most affected by human induced climate change. This means the UK is seeing, on average, more frequent periods of hot weather, bringing challenges for infrastructure, health and wellbeing. Mike Kendon, Climate scientist and lead author of the report, explains more in our video 📺 Published every summer, the report provides an assessment of UK climate trends, variations and extremes, based on observations of temperature, precipitation, sunshine and wind speed from the UK land weather station network, managed by the Met Office alongside the National Oceanography Centre and The Woodland Trust.

Climate change is causing a dramatic increase in the frequency of temperature extremes and number of temperature records the UK experiences. New analysis of observations shows that extremes of temperature in the UK are most affected by human induced climate change. This means the UK is seeing, on average, more frequent spells of hot days, bringing challenges for infrastructure, health and wellbeing. The observations also suggest an increase in rainfall extremes. The new analysis features in this year’s annual publication of the ‘State of the UK Climate’ report. Published in the Royal Meteorological Society’s ‘International Journal of Climatology,’ the report is a comprehensive review of the UK climate and significant weather events through 2023.
