How does the Society differ from the Met Office?
The Royal Meteorological Society is a learned and professional body with more than 3,000 members around the world. It exists to advance the understanding of meteorology, the science and its applications and does this by means of journals, meetings, conferences, professional accreditation, grants, prizes, educational activities, promoting public understanding and evidence-based policy making. Unlike the Met Office, the Society does not make or collect weather observations and is not involved directly in meteorological research, operational meteorology or meteorological training. The Met Office is the National Meteorological Service of the United Kingdom. It is the UKs provider of the Public Weather Service, which includes the National Severe Weather Warnings. The Met Office supplies the BBCs weather information.
