For the love of weather podcast is back with a new series. This first podcast is a hero-gram to climate scientist Prof Ed Hawkins.

Climate scientist Professor Ed Hawkins is an expert in climate change communications. Ed was surprised when his visualisation of a warming world burst into life when his climate stripes #showyouratripes were used in the 2016 Rio Olympics.

#showyourstripws is a simple and unique way of using colour to visualising climate change through warmth and colour.

One of Ed’s many climate projects was undertaken in 2020 when he set up a project to transcribe and digitise hundreds of thousands of paper rainfall observations that would feed into and ultimately make climate models more accurate.

It was a project he thought would take a very long time to complete, but with the help of lots of volunteers they managed to complete it in just 16 days; the results have been phenomenal.

Ed chats about his brilliant ‘warming stripes’ - #showyouratripes , which are a simple and unique way to breakdown complex science into simple colours to highlight a warming world and an incredible strength of spirit to keep going to find new ways to tell the story of climate change - a story he cared about deeply.

The warming stripes are available for lots of countries and cities around the world and you can find them here - https://showyourstripes.info/

In this episode we chat to the brilliant Sarah Kent - a meteorologist and founder of Wild Soul Coaching.

Sarah lives on a narrow boat and has done so for the past 2 years, navigating UK waterways.

Her curiosity about the world around her as a child led her to science but she bas always had the soul of a philosopher.

We get a practical insight into life on a boat and how being a meteorologist comes in handy. But we also learn about what really means to live a sustainable life and to be in each moment of a day.

Through her coaching Sarah empowers women to live extraordinary lives, and to make decisions that put positive ripples out into the world. In this episode she also reminds us that time is precious.
