Everything Under the Sun

This week Dean DeVore welcomes Liz Bentley, Chief Executive of the Royal Meteorological Society and AccuWeather's Evan Myers to discuss one of the most important weather forecasts in world history.

In early June 1944, Allied meteorologists prepared to deliver the final word for the long-awaited D-Day invasion of Normandy. From the AccuWeather.com archives the reporting goes that thousands of lives and the tide of the war depended entirely on teams of Allied meteorologists who determined what constituted suitable weather conditions for the invasion in a small-time window. Years of preparation were at stake, but on June 4, hours before the launch of D-Day operations amid an approaching storm, British Group Captain James Stagg urged General Eisenhower for a last-minute delay. Following Stagg’s advice and the other British forecasters’, Eisenhower postponed the invasion. With a more accurate forecast, Eisenhower would commence the D-Day operations on Tuesday, June 6, 1944 the largest amphibious landing force ever assembled landed on the beaches of Normandy.

Plus, Professor Bentley will give us an update on the Royal Meteorological Society's annual 'Weather Photographer of the Year' contest: https://www.rmets.org/weather-photographer-year-2022
