What a week it's been for millions of people in the UK.
The recent UK heatwave broke records, in fact not just broke but smashed records; not the type of records we want to break. From our health, transport to our homes and everyday lives, the impacts were felt by many of us not just here in the UK but across Europe. And heatwaves were underway across India too with devastating impacts.
In this week's episode of For the Love of Weather, we're chatting about: ☀️ What made this heatwave so extraordinary 🌍 What the latest science tells us 🌳 Why we need to adapt to our changing climate 💚 And why talking about weather and climate has never been more important.
As always, our goal is to help make sense of the weather around us and show how we're all connected through our climate. Here are some final thoughts we would like to leave you with.
🌍People remember how a place makes them feel. ❤️We protect what we love. 💰We choose how we spend our money. 🌿Climate change is now a communication issue.
🎧 We'd love to hear your thoughts too. How did you cope with the heat where you live? #ForTheLoveOfWeather #WeatherPodcast #UKHeatwave #ClimateChange #ClimateScience #ExtremeWeather #Weather #ClimateCommunication #Heatwave #Science

In this episode of For the Love of Weather, Gemma and Aisling are joined by Professor Paul Williams, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Reading and one of the world's leading experts on the jet stream, aviation turbulence and climate change. Paul explains the latest science behind one of the biggest questions in weather and aviation: Is climate change making turbulence worse? He also unpacks how the jet stream shapes our weather, why storms and heavy rainfall are becoming more intense, and how weather forecasts continue to improve. In this episode, you'll discover: 🌍 What the jet stream is and why it matters ✈️ How climate change is affecting the atmosphere where aircraft fly ☁️ What clear-air turbulence is—and why pilots can't always see it 🛫 Whether flying is likely to become bumpier in the future 🌪️ Why storms and extreme rainfall are becoming more intense 💨 How weather balloons, satellites and aircraft improve weather forecasting ❤️ Why turbulence is a normal part of flying—and why it shouldn't stop you from travelling Whether you're fascinated by weather, curious about climate science, or simply want to understand what causes turbulence on your next flight, this episode is packed with expert insights and surprising facts.
