Come Rain or Shine, the Royal Meteorological Society’s award-winning, online course has relaunched for a new cohort of weather enthusiasts to explore the physical processes that drive UK weather systems.
Developed in partnership with leading institution for climate science research, the University of Reading, Come Rain or Shine is aimed at A-Level geographers, teachers, and weather enthusiasts. Individuals considering the course, need not have existing knowledge of meteorology, just an interest in learning about the weather!
Throughout the course, students are given the opportunity to try their hand at forecasting, interpreting weather maps and carrying out experiments with RMets Head of Education, Professor Sylvia Knight, and Professor Peter Inness of the University of Reading.
“After seventeen runs, Come Rain or Shine is still in such high demand! For this relaunch we’ve taken the opportunity to tweak the design a little, add some new information, as well as update the old where it needed it.” said Professor Knight.
Over 44,000 people have already benefitted from Come Rain or Shine. In its new format the course is now available to complete for free, over a period of five weeks.
