It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Storm Dunlop, who passed away peacefully on Thursday, 23rd January 2025, at St Richard’s Hospital, Chichester. 

Storm, a long-standing member of the meteorology community, was well-known for his work as both an author of numerous weather books and as a passionate contributor to the field. His expertise and dedication to weather science touched the lives of many, and his legacy will continue to inspire future generations in the field.

Born and raised with a deep connection to nature, Storm’s life and work were shaped by his profound appreciation for the environment. This bond is reflected in his final wishes, which included a woodland burial. In keeping with his desire to rest in a place in harmony with nature, Storm’s informal funeral will be held on Friday, 28th February 2025, at the Sustainability Centre Natural Burial Ground, located on Droxford Road, Petersfield, GU32 1HR. The ceremony will begin at 1pm, and attendees are invited to wear warm clothing, sturdy shoes, and lap blankets, as the service will take place outdoors in the woods. For those who may need assistance, transport from the car park to the graveside will be provided.

Storm’s contributions to the field of meteorology and his countless publications have left an indelible mark on the scientific community. His work continues to serve as a reference for many and his warm personality and dedication will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Our thoughts are with Storm’s family, friends, and colleagues as they navigate this difficult time. He will be sorely missed.
