The RMetS Weather and Climate conference

At the start of July 2024 we took the podcast to the Royal
Meteorological Society’s first ever weather and climate
conference. Over the two days we were lucky to be able to speak
to lots of amazing scientists and attend some brilliant talks.
While there we also got a chance to talk to three brilliant
scientists in a series of mini podcasts, which we have put
together in this special episode.


Our first guest is Amanda Maycock, who is a professor of climate
dynamics at the University of Leeds. We spoke to Amanda about how
she got into academia, how she communicates complex subjects to
her students as well as women in science.


Next, we spoke to Professor Myles Allen, who is the head of
atmospheric, oceanic and planetary physics in the department of
physics at the University of Oxford. As well as professor of
geosystem science in the school of geography and the environment.
We spoke to Myles about attribution studies, which are a way of
looking at how climate change is impacting weather events.


Finally, we got the opportunity to speak to Professor Penny
Endersby, who is the Chief Executive of the Met Office. In this
conversation with Penny, we learnt about what the Met Office does
as well as about AI and the potential ways it could be used in
weather forecasting.


If you want to learn more about the conference, there is lots of
