Thank you to all those who came to an incredibly fascinating talk about why Tornado Alley and the Great Plains are so unique in producing large-scale storms. Hearing the anecdotal stories from Chris, and seeing his fantastic images alongside was awesome (hearing the NOAA Tornado Warning was our highlight)!
After the success of this first talk, the RMetS East Anglia Centre already has two more booked in. The first of which, on the 4th of November at 6pm in the University Of East Anglia’s Julian Study Centre, is a talk from the East Anglia Centre’s very own chairs, Berna McCaffrey and James Lester, about their journey from being students all the way to working as operational meteorologists. If you are a student looking to get into meteorology, this is definitely one for you!
The next, on the 2nd December, will be about how to hunt the Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights) here in the UK. Led by James Rowley-Hill (who runs Aurora UK Facebook group), the talk will cover a basic understanding of reading and the interpreting the solar wind, how it is used to predict aurora, and some simple camera tips to help you capture some stunning photos of the lights themselves. With the number of times they has been visible recently, it is definitely a hot topic, and we can’t wait to hear how to improve our Aurora sighting bragging snaps!
We hope to see you there!For any more information regarding upcoming RMetS East Anglia Centre local events, please head to their website on the link below.
