Guest: Dr. Randy Cerveny When we hear about extreme weather and changing climate, often we hear about the extreme records that are associated with these events: Things like the hottest temperature streak, the heaviest rainfall, and so forth. You may notice when these events are reported, it’s often with the caveat: “if verified”. An often overlooked, but vitally important caveat. So, who are these verifiers and how do they corroborate world record weather? For the World Meteorological Organization,

How Do People Interpret Weather Warnings

Guest: Dr. Justin Sharpe We all know the saying “if a tree falls in a forest and there’s nobody around to hear it, does it make a sound?” Well in our world, we can say something like “if a forecast is perfect, but it doesn’t get disseminated properly, did it do any good?” There are still leaps and bounds that need to be made in the weather industry to bridge the gap between the research and communication when it comes to severe weather of all shapes and sizes. We have Dr. Justin Sharpe here on the

Weather Geeks ·

2023/08/30

Guest: John Valliant While this year’s wildfire season in the United States hasn’t really picked up steam, the wildfires in Canada have taken over the headlines.

Guests: Rep. Frank Lucas Introduction: As we Weather Geeks reside in our science world, sometimes we can be critical of how other industries perceive us and the work that we do. It can be especially frustrating when one of those circles is our own government, where science can become a polarizing issue on opposite sides of the aisel. When they don’t take the science seriously, that can have repercussions not just with lawmaking, but also in their constituents that listen to and trust them. Our
