Meet EMMA
Severe weather can damage homes, bring cities to a halt and result
in life-threatening situations. But if we know in advance what's
headed our way, we can take steps to reduce these effects. Work
is underway on a new European system that aims to get warnings
of severe weather out to people as early as possible.
Forecasting
from the front line
Chris Waters has never been one to shy away from a challenge.
But at the age of 50 he faced the biggest test of his life when
he started a new role for the Met Office — serving on the
front line in Croatia.
Single sky over
Europe
With the huge popularity of holidays abroad and the rise in international
business, the skies over Europe are becoming increasingly busy.
But help is at hand.
True grit
A day in the life of Lincolnshire County Council's highways department
as they strive to keep the winter roads open.
Weather forecasts
help drive success
In the UK, most of us have driven in bad weather at one time or
another. So we know that watching our speed is vital for safety
in wet or icy conditions. Consider then the skill needed by Subaru
World Rally Team drivers whose only focus is getting to the finish
line as fast as possible no matter what the conditions.
New model means better forecasting
for Europe
Teams of world-leading scientists from the Met Office are continually
striving to improve forecasting services to our customers. Thanks
to their expertise, a new North Atlantic-European forecast model
will now allow more-detailed forecasts for the whole continent.
Celebrity weather
As a canoeist and all-round action man, television reporter Donal
MacIntyre is used to be being out in all conditions. But when
he was asked to present the BBC series 'Wild Weather' he finally
realised there is more to weather than raindrops and clouds.
