observations Keen amateur meteorologists can enter snow depth readings on our Weather Observations Website (WOW). Alongside our network of professional observers and automated weather stations, amateur observations can help give additional situational awareness to our forecasters. Stay connected Keep up

What is the Seasonal Climate Outlook? Following the El Nino event in 2015, the Met Office worked with the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the University of Reading to design a new service which would provide insights into the upcoming season and enable more

with Physics, and then completed a PhD at the University of Reading in short-range rainfall forecasting over the Sahel. For the first part of his Met Office career Dave worked on understanding tropical climate variability, using General Circulation Model (GCM) and observational data

atmospheric NWP model development. In 2008, he was awarded an MSc with distinction in Weather, Climate and Modelling from the University of Reading. Between 2010 and 2017, David managed the Global Atmospheric Model Development group, responsible for developing global configurations of the Unified Model

Universities. In 1994 he moved to the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading, where he served as Head of the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences between 2007 and 2010.  In 2010 he became the Joint Met Office Chair in Weather Systems. This role gave him a taster of working closely

. Whilst working at the Met Office, Laura completed a PhD in 2011 in the School of Geography at the University of Exeter on the impacts of weather and climate change on the spread of bluetongue into the UK. Prior to joining the Met Office in 2006, Laura completed a BSc in Geophysics at the University of Edinburgh and an MSc in Applied Meteorology at the University of Reading.

. To develop and improve NAME. Current projects MPI parallelisation of NAME. Improvements to the representation of effects of urban environments on dispersing plumes within NAME. Modelling of volcanic umbrella clouds within NAME. Ongoing validation of NAME against tracer experiments. Scientific collaboration and developments with a number of UK universities (e.g. Reading, Imperial College, Cambridge). Research on concentration fluctuations and buoyancy-driven flows.

Dingmin works on improving high-resolution data assimilation in the Convective-scale NWP group and is based at the MetOffice@Reading Unit in the Department of Meteorology, University of Reading.

in 1998, having previously worked as a research scientist in the Meteorology Department at Reading University since 1991, after completing a PhD in Stratospheric Dynamics at Edinburgh University. His research prior to the Met Office involved mainly radiative modelling and stratospheric modelling

research. On joining the Met Office, Adrian worked for five years based at the University of Reading where he worked on a number of projects including the application of conceptual models of cyclogenesis in NWP. Here he developed a unification of these models which has since been used widely by operational forecasters and to teach the meteorology of cyclogenesis.

, lead author at the University of Reading and National Centre for Earth Observation, said: "We should not exclude climate models from impact assessments based on their climate sensitivity as this could lead to ignoring future outcomes that are potentially serious and realistic. “What happens globally
