I love this. Wisdom of the crowd

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the @MetOffice last week & briefing & being briefed by their excellent team.

Their impressive work is critical not only for planning our day-to-day activities but also for informing us about #climatechange .

It’s true. South Devon really has been that wet, and #Dartmoor really has been that gloomy. If only we could offer a change!

Congratulations Met Office’s Ian Lisk and those elected to the leadership team of the World Meteorological Organization World Meteorological Organization Services Commission.

Ian’s re-election as President is a great example of UK expertise in action, supporting development of globally harmonised services.

This is no good: I have unfleeced the apricot and re-used the fleece for the dahlias!

This makes me very happy

Do you know how much the UK #climate has changed since #BritishScienceWeek started 30 years ago?

This graph shows how our UK annual mean temperature has evolved 👇

Half of the 30 years since 1994 have beaten the UK’s warmest year on record at that time (1990). #BSW24 🧵1/2…

A few years ago, I became the first female Director-General at ECMWF . I now have the privilege of working with the very bright @MetOfficeCE, who is the first female President of Council. Times are changing (slowly) but efforts need to continue to embrace all sorts of diversity.

Our @MetOfficeCE Prof Penny Endersby CBE is speaking at Agile Rabbit’s #AI UK fringe event at Dartington Trust today alongside fellow leaders in #DataScience to ask:

Can #AI help us find solutions to address society’s most pressing environmental issues?

I’m as fed up of rain as the next person, but Venford Falls was looking its best this morning #loveukweather

We were pleased to welcome Department for Science, Innovation and Technology minister Andrew Griffith MP to Met Office HQ yesterday

We support the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology with essential weather and climate services for the public, industry and Government

Three new Committee Members are needed to join our Adaptation Committee.

These roles are part expert (in health, infrastructure, farming) and part commissioner of analysis by my team Climate Change Committee.

Do have a look - some of the most rewarding public appointments going.

We think the first use of emergency alert in the country (?)

An effective system to warn local residents to evacuate the area.

The Met Office purpose is “Helping you make better decisions to stay safe and thrive”. Today that includes the apricot tree which insisted on blooming despite all I could say.

Having some considerable experience of disposing of large ammunition in a dodgy state, must say that the authorities in #Plymouth have done an exemplary job with this one. Been pondering the options and glad I wasn’t silver or gold command.

It was such a pleasure to have you here. We are pleased to be able to contribute our expertise to both the energy security and net zero missions

Absolutely wonderful evening light and birdsong. This just outside Moretonhampstead (🎥 Penny Cross) ITV News West Country
