The second of a three part series, taking you through the weather forecasting process from start to finish

In this episode, regular podcasters Doug McNeall, Niall Robinson and Claire Witham are joined by Deputy Chief Operational Meteorologist, Laura Gilchrist - to investigate how we put the weather observations we learnt about in episode 6 to work, using supercomputers, weather models and the expertise of meterologists to generate the weather forecasts used by millions of people every day.

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.
