Please welcome to the podcast, meteorologist and weather presenter Clare Nasir. Aisling and Gemma have wanted Clare on the podcast for many years so this podcast feels extra special. She brings to life the joy and journey that weather has brought her along.

Clare started her career at the UK Met Office, training to be a meteorologist before moving to a broadcast meteorologist role. She has since worked for every major UK channel, covering weather but also bringing climate communication to a new level. She is a voice of authority, calm and sense and loves to share her knowledge with the next generation offering her time as a mentor. In a full-circle moment, Clare is now back working with the Met Office, presenting weather forecasts as well as their climate videos.

In this episode, we chat with Clare about her remarkable career and the work she's doing as a mentor and consultant for startups focused on sustainability and adaptation. We also discuss the UK heatwave of July 2022, when the UK recorded 40°C for the first time on record. Clare shared how it felt deeply personal and how the communication around this event was different, with attribution science allowing us to make direct links to climate change.

Clare is an accomplished author of several books, including the children's book 'Colin the Cloud' and 'What Does Rain Smell Like?' We honestly don't know where Clare finds the time to do everything she does but we are big fans.

We really hope you enjoy this episode and finish it loving the weather a little bit more.
