Met Office
You've probably heard of the Met Office from daily
weather bulletins on television, on radio and online. But our
forecasting goes much further than this.
As pioneers in weather and climate forecasting, we
predict the weather for today, tomorrow, next week and next season.
We also look further ahead at how the climate may change over the
coming decades.
Our weather forecasts help to keep the UK moving
every day on land and by sea, and protect anyone taking to the air.
Around the world, our knowledge of the weather and climate informs
the decisions and policies of businesses and governments. Our
defence services support the UK's armed forces at home and
abroad.
We're on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year.

Education
We're committed to helping children better
understand weather and climate science, making it engaging at
primary and secondary school levels. We provide a range of teaching
materials based on the National Curriculum that can be downloaded
from our website. These
resources aim to develop knowledge and enrich learning
experiences.
Working with the Pod
The Met Office and EDF Energy are working together
through the Pod, to develop a set of resources and activities to
help educate young people about weather and climate science. These
new teaching materials will also help explain how every day
activities can play a big part in helping to protect the
environment.
