On the 23rd July the RMetS held a careers information day for young people aged 14-20. It was a splendid day with an exciting mix of high quality presentations covering early careers in forecasting and academia, as well as more in depth talks on space weather, sting jets and storm naming.

The day was advertised widely on social media and through schools and careers services country wide. This was reflected in the geographical spread of attendees as well as in how they said they had heard of the event.

The Universities of Birmingham, Edinburgh, Leeds and Reading were represented in our Course ‘speed dating ‘ session which really engaged the young people.

The Institute of Physics kindly supported the event, allowing us to use their central London venue for the day.

All the talks from the day have been recorded and will remain as a permanent resource for students interested in a meteorology career.
