Next Meeting Information

Monday 24th August

Speaker Gary Weymouth, ex Bureau of Meteorology

Topic: Weather and Forecasting – Tipping Points and Photos

This is a follow-on to Gary’s popular talk from last year. This time, Gary will focus on ‘tipping points’ related to weather – such as what is the difference between a thunderstorm happening or not, leading to an explanation of why rainfall forecasting is so hard and what we can do about it, what are the differences that lead to filling versus drying water storages or floods versus soaking rain, heatwaves and heat health, weather and energy outcomes, and a few others. Gary will also show a few examples of information available on the Bureau website and App, including a brief discussion of what’s up with the so-called ‘super-el Nino’.

Gary is known in the club for his weather, garden and nature photos, of which this talk will have more.
