Met Office scientists take a lively look at the fascinating history and science of weather and climate research.

Niall and Doug are joined by Chief Operational Meteorologist Eddy Carroll to discuss fronts, jets and pressure – and a whole host of other dynamic atmospheric elements that influence our weather.

They kick off with a look at general circulation, average flow, cells and weather systems. And that is just for starters, so pay attention, it is learning time.

The Met Office is the United Kingdom's national weather service.

The Met Office website carries the latest UK and global weather forecasts, detailed information on weather types and climate science and UK weather records for previous months, seasons and years.
