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

Today, we prise open the doors of the Mostly Weather Hall of Fame once more, as Met Office archivist Catherine Ross presents the case for inducting Luke Howard - a man known as both 'the namer of clouds' and 'the father of meteorology'.

Catherine is joined by regulars Doug McNeall, Claire Witham and Jeff Norwood-Brown as she puts forward her case.

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.
