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 Blue Earth Summit Part 1 - World Land Trust, Rewilding Britain and the Greenrunners
Episode 3
Tuesday, 3 March, 2026
In this special episode of For the Love of Weather, Gemma and Aisling head to the annual Blue Earth Summit for a series of inspiring conversations with people driving real environmental change. They begin with Dan Bradbury from World Land Trust, who shares how the organisation protects and restores land in partnership with local communities across 33 countries. From community-managed forests in Tanzania to women-led tree planting initiatives, Dan speaks passionately about putting people at the heart of conservation. His message is clear: don’t be paralysed by the scale of the crisis — just do something. Even small actions can have a powerful ripple effect. https://www.worldlandtrust.org/ Next, they speak with Ellen Rickford from Rewilding Britain, who explains how rewilding restores entire ecosystems so nature can function and thrive again. From reintroducing keystone species like beavers to stepping back and allowing landscapes to recover naturally, Ellen highlights how rewilding strengthens biodiversity, supports communities, and builds resilience to climate change. When nature is given space, it has an incredible ability to heal. https://www.rewildingbritain.org.uk/ Finally, Paola Hanley from The Green Runners explores the hidden environmental impact of running — from trainers to travel — and encourages runners to make small, practical changes that collectively make a big difference. https://thegreenrunners.com/ Across every conversation, one theme stands out: the challenges are huge, but solutions exist — and we all have a role to play. We really hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast, and leave loving the weather just a little bit more. This material from this episode was recorded in October 2025.
