A Guide to Web Resources for Amateur Meteorologists 🗓️Thursday 18 September, 18:30 - 19:30 Meteorologists, both professional and amateur often get asked “is it going to rain tomorrow?” by friends and family, we sometimes wish to learn about the best weather station to buy for our gardens, and we may even get challenged with something meaty like “do you believe in climate change?” Where should we look online to learn the answers, in an easy, informed and relevant way? Karl Shepardson will guide you through the maze of information available to all, in an attempt to look for trustworthy resources on weather forecasts, observations, meteorological equipment, and even climate change.
