How the weather impacts our lives – from weather observing and photography, to sharing our passion of meteorology with others.

We are pleased to announce the Royal Meteorological Society 2nd Amateur Conference will be held on the weekend of 13 to 15 September 2013 at the University of Reading. The Conference aims to look at how the weather impacts our lives – from weather observing and photography, to sharing our passion of meteorology with others. It is planned that the programme will include keynote contributions from both professional and amateurs.

The RMetS, COL, The Cloud Appreciation Society, and TORRO are among the groups that will be involved in the meeting, which is open to all with an interest in the weather and climate, including observing and photographing the weather. The conference immediately follows the 13th Annual Meeting of the European Meteorological Society (EMS) and the 11th European Conference on Applications of Meteorology (ECAM) also being held at the University of Reading, and we are keen to attract a European audience to our Amateur Conference.

There will be several keynote talks and the programme will also include a visit to a weather station, poster sessions, exhibition and a conference dinner.
Further information is available on our website http://www.rmets.org/events/rmets-amateur-conference-2013 and registration details will be available from
11 February 2013.
