People are at the heart of what we do and it’s great to see them recognised in their fields. Three of our scientists won awards in the Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS) Awards 2023 that honour exceptional contributions in #weather, #climate and associated disciplines. Prof Brian Golding has played a leading role in weather forecasting science at the Met Office for over 50 years and won the Mason Gold Medal Award for his outstanding contributions to the understanding of fundamental processes that determine the variability and predictability of weather and climate. Dr Nick Dunstone has been recognised with the Hugh Robert Mill Award for Precipitation Research for making major advances in predicting precipitation. Prof Chris Kenneth Folland has received an Honorary Fellowship for Contribution or Service to the Society or Profession, the highest honour awarded by RMetS, considering his wide ranging and extensive contributions to meteorology.

Our presenters Alex Deakin and Aidan McGivern went to pick up the Michael Hunt Award for Increasing Public Understanding of Meteorology and its Applications, as did Dr David Walters to receive the FitzRoy Award for Professional Meteorology. Mike Kendon and Dr Mark McCarthy were part of a team of authors who received the International Journal of Climatology Editors’ Award.

Well done to everyone. Paul Davies finally got his CMET as well. Super proud of him for doing that and it will be inspiration to our future generation of meterologists!
