For the love of weatherAuthor: Gemma Plumb & Aisling Creevey
Meet Gemma and Aisling. They have worked in the UK as meteorologists for over fifteen years. Gemma came up with the idea that maybe others might like to listen to the non stop conversations they still have all these years later about the weather. Over the years they have forecast for festivals, farming, road, rail, energy, media, aviation and even the humble ice cream demand forecast and so much more. They have gone through job changes, life changes and delved in and out of many hobbies and somehow the weather still weaves in and out of their lives. So this podcast is for anyone who would like to join our weather conversations and wherever the jet stream may take us! We hope you join us for our bi weekly chat and leave each episode loving the weather just that little bit more.

The UK’s hottest summer. The records that kept breaking. In this episode of For the Love of Weather, meteorologists Gemma and Aisling reflect on an extraordinary summer of record-breaking heat, heatwaves, drought and wildfires.From dry and hot with 35°C in May, to temperatures reaching 38°C with intense humidity, we explore how climate change is shaping our weather, affecting our health and everyday lives, and putting pressure on nature and our oceans.🌍 In this episode, we discuss:* How climate change is intensifying heatwaves.* What the summer of 1976 tells us about future UK summers.* The impacts of extreme heat on people, wildlife and the environment.* How we can adapt to hotter summers and protect nature.* Finding hope through climate action and communication.It was a summer that felt relentless, raising difficult questions about our future and one that felt very emotional. But there are things we can do and conversations we need to keep having because we can all do something to help. ❤️ Like, subscribe and share to help more people discover the weather and climate stories that connect us all.#ForTheLoveOfWeather #UKWeather #ClimateChange #Heatwave #ExtremeWeather
