TV weather presenters are, today, raising awareness about climate change by ‘showing their stripes’ on their live forecasts.
It's a really simple way to raise awareness of a serious global issue. See the full story on the CEDA website and coverage of the #showyourstripes awareness campaign via a BBC news story
The awareness campaign is led by Professor Ed Hawkins (NCAS, University of Reading) who used HadUK-Grid data to create the UK climate graphics. This data is freely available to download from the CEDA Archive, which is stored in the JASMIN facility* at STFC's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
