Royal Meteorological Society Scottish Snow: Past, present and future

Join the Royal Meteorological Society for a one-hour talk exploring why snow matters and what it can tell us about weather and climate. Dr Alex Priestley of the Met Office will look at how snow is observed on both global and local scales, how it affects weather when it is on the ground, and how it can influence numerical weather prediction models.

The talk then focuses on Scotland, using local examples to ask whether snowfall is really declining, how climate change may affect future events like the Beast from the East, and whether winters without snow could become more common. The event is part of the Society’s Meetings programme and is open to everyone, whether you are an enthusiast or working in the field.

Attendance is available both in person and virtually, and non-members are welcome.
