We speak to Deputy Chief Meteorologist and keen stormchaser, Dan Holley, about marvelling at weather extremes safely, how the Met Office chooses to name storms, and AI's role in weather prediction.In late 2025, we spent the day speaking with meteorologists and experts about what this iconic institution does as a powerhouse of weather data analysis and science communication, and also to explore how climate change is impacting the weather we experience every day. Watch this chat, filmed in the Met

Takeaway: A Greenland lake can vanish through a crack not just because ice breaks, but because the ice slowly gives way enough to keep the drain open.When a lake sitting on top of the Greenland Ice Sheet suddenly drains, it can send millions of tons of meltwater rushing to the glacier bed, briefly lifting the ice and changing how it slides. This matters far beyond one icy basin: these fast drainage events are one way surface warming can reach deep into an ice sheet, linking summer melt, glacier
