In this next episode we meet Bonnie Diamond, communications meteorologist with the Irish Met service - Met Éireann.

This episode was recorded 2 weeks ago before Storm Dudely, Eunice and Franklin hit the UK and Ireland

Bonnie was raised on a farm in Northern Ireland which unsurprisingly influenced her journey into weather.

She talks about her day to day work as a communications forecaster, the role of so many media platforms as well as the importance of the traditional weather forecast on television.

She was instrumental in the launch of storm naming for the UK and Ireland and we chat about climate change and the future of weather.

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did and most importantly we hope you leave this episode loving the weather that little bit more.
