British Science Week ends: The wonder of the weather continues

Today marks the end of British Science Week, but there is no reason why we cannot continue learning together.

We explored a brief history of meteorology and also gave you an insight into how the latest weather forecasts are created.

If you want to continue with your own home weather experiments why not try creating a barometer to keep an eye on the air pressure near you?

Science continues to confound and surprise us, and the world of meteorology is always changing.

For more science-based fun you could look for citizen science projects near you or online. Looking for volunteers for tasks such as star counting or identifying penguins.

Or simply allow us to do all the science for you and see the end result in action each day with our latest forecasts and WeatherRadar.
