Whether it’s working at the cutting edge of climate or meteorological science, or forecasting and informing the public and our customers about the changing dynamics of the weather, women are at the heart of the Met Office and meteorology. The Met Office is enormously proud of the contribution that women make every day to the global understanding of weather and climate. And what better day to underline this key role than today, on International Women’s Day.

As a leading and progressive scientific organisation the Met Office is committed to gender parity – the theme of this year’s International Women’s Day. The Met Office is keen to encourage women to understand the vital role they can play in having a career in science.
