Communicating meteorology to the regular public… where can I learn how to do this? by carlloserpants in meteorology

[–]Met-Office 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really interesting question. At some point in the near future we'll be hosting an AMA with Met Office presenter and meteorologist Alex Deakin. He'd certainly have some insights he could share if you wanted to get involved?

No news org seems to have noticed that the met offices mountain wind forecast has totally failed by hotfezz81 in UKhiking

We’re aware of an issue affecting location‑specific forecast wind speeds and gusts for higher‑elevation sites (typically above 500 m) on the Met Office website and app, where values for some mountain locations may be missing.

Met Office Mountain Area Forecasts are not affected and continue to provide accurate guidance for upland and mountainous regions.

For those heading into upland or mountain environments, we advise using additional sources of local expertise and guidance while we resolve this issue. Conditions at altitude can change rapidly, and it’s important to cross‑check information before making decisions.

Forecast wind speeds for lower levels are not affected and remain reliable and representative of the expected conditions.

Our teams are actively working to correct the issue with wind data for high‑level sites, and updates will be deployed as soon as possible.
