What makes British weather worth talking about?
Join us for a Café Scientifique exploring the science behind UK weather
UK weather is notoriously dynamic and unpredictable, so it makes sense that weather is the number one topic of conversation amongst the British. But what makes the UK weather so difficult to predict? What makes it so changeable?
Professor Doug Parker's research explores weather systems around the world, from dust storms in the African Sahara, to the dynamics of synoptic fronts in the UK, and how they are driven by high-altitude winds. Join him for a discussion of our most beloved conversation-starter and explore the science behind our ever-changing weather.
Professor Doug Parker is a Met Office Professor of Meteorology, based at University of Leeds.
