Royal Meteorological Society

Who we are

The Royal Meteorological Society is the leading independent expert in weather and climate.

With a Royal Charter and as the only awarding body for Meteorologists, we are recognised as the leading independent authority for all things weather and climate. 

Guided by our charitable purpose and a commitment to excellence, our mission is to advance the understanding of weather and climate and its applications for the benefit of everyone. 

By championing groundbreaking research, providing educational support, and nurturing a dynamic community across the UK and beyond, we unite existing and aspiring weather and climate professionals, organisations, academics, and enthusiasts for collaboration and innovation.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The Royal Meteorological Society aims to lead by example and encourage the meteorological community to be both diverse and inclusive, making the best use of talent that exists in all parts of society to provide access to the world of science, technology, and the profession of meteorology for all. Diversity and inclusion is embedded into our strategic plan as one of eight cross-cutting priorities.

We have signed the Science Council Declaration on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, and we use the Science Council Diversity and Inclusion Progression Framework to assess and monitor our progress on diversity and inclusion.
