Meteorology conferences

Under the theme Aspiration, Action, Anticipation: AI for Science Looking to 2030, this summit asks how AI is already changing scientific practice and how research may develop over the next few years. Researchers will examine scientific reasoning and discovery alongside applications in cancer biology, climate and weather prediction, animal behaviour and cosmology. Talks, discussion and a poster session connect methodological advances with practical scientific problems. Confirmed contributors include Max Welling, Hana Aliee, Boris Bolliet, Cait Newport, Richard Turner, Neil Lawrence, Stephen Roberts and Sadiq Jaffer. The summit takes place on 24 November, 10:00–18:00, at Churchill College, Cambridge; times are Europe/London, GMT (UTC+00:00). The organizer’s event-specific registration form confirms that online participation is available for remote attendees. In-person places are limited and offered first come, first served, with a waiting list once full. Register using the linked Microsoft Form.

The annual meeting brings together research on weather, climate, hydrology, oceans and related environmental systems. Its conferences and symposia cover atmospheric chemistry, climate variability, observing systems, satellite measurements, modelling and communication of scientific information. The 2027 theme emphasizes education and the use of Earth-system knowledge by people and communities. Scientific sessions, professional exchanges and short courses are offered alongside in-person and online participation.

The society’s 33rd conference presents research on weather, oceans and climate, from fundamental processes to applications in forecasting, infrastructure, agriculture, health and ecosystems. Sessions cover extreme and compound events, hydroclimate, polar systems, ocean and coastal processes, atmospheric composition, climate variability, high-resolution modelling and machine learning. A second stream examines warning services, adaptation, Indigenous knowledge, education and the use of science in industry and policy. Workshops take place on 8 February, followed by conference proceedings on 9–12 February. Abstract submissions closed on 6 September 2026. Presenters must register by 1 December, which is also the end of the early-bird discount.
