Have been writing some materials for the Royal Meteorological Society Summer Internship. They're taking longer than I'd hoped, but are taking shape.
They are on the theme of the weather and how it impacts on food production.
This recent GUARDIAN ARTICLE has added a bit of useful additional context for it.
This is a stand-out quote:
"The UK is one of the most erratic, changeable places on Earth when it comes to weather."
As part of the work I've been investigating the infamous barbeque summer prediction of last year, and the effect on staycationing...
This led me to a GUARDIAN article which explored the origins of the quote, and had a good audio clip of some people's reaction, including the comment that led to the title of this blog post: it seems that weather forecasters have the best job in the world, because they can get things wrong everyday and still keep their job...
Also going to use Weatherspark to explore this aspect of the weather, and the link with Food.
I am grateful to Professor Andy Challinor from Leeds University for the discussion that we had about the planned resource earlier this week.
