Share An interactive weather forecasting game has returned, allowing everyone from amateur meteorologists to school pupils to take on world-leading scientists at the University of Reading. The Weather Game challenges players to predict things like maximum temperature, total sunshine and total rainfall over a series of weekends, in multiple locations around the world. Players use forecasts on weather apps and websites like the BBC and Met Office to make their predictions, and points are awarded for accurate estimates. “The Weather Game always proves just how skilful weather forecasters have to be, and we hope some players might go on to follow in the footsteps of television presenters like Laura Tobin and Tomasz Schafernaker, who learnt their trade at Reading.” – Professor Andrew Charlton-Perez, Department of Meteorology
