Training & Courses

MeteoGroup UK offers a wide variety of training courses to those who need to know more about how the weather affects them and their business.

Do you or your company need to know more about the way the weather affects you and your decision-making? Whether your interests are commercial or general, we can provide in-house courses tailored to your needs, experience and interests.  Our existing clients range from those having little previous experience understanding the weather to highway authorities who have to monitor weather changes in detail in order to salt our roads at the right times in the winter.

 Courses can be run at our headquarters in Victoria in central London, at the Press Association's northern headquarters in Yorkshire or wherever required by a client. The duration and syllabus of the courses will be tailored to the requirements of the client.

Examples of weather-sensitive market sectors include:

• Highway authorities – courses to assist the detailed interpretation of road microclimates for winter road maintenance – we are established forecast providers in this field
• Power & commodity trading – up-to-the minute, accurate forecast information for the next week or so as well as regular updates on longer term weather trends are very important to this sector
• Railways – to warn of severe weather in the winter and of high rail temperatures in summer
• Retailing – how to adapt stocking in line with changing weather patterns;
• Environmental consultancies
• Water supply management
• Fire brigade and police
• Agriculture
• Event management
• Tourism and leisure – how to make the most of the weather when running outdoor activities

Courses have been run for customers in most of these sectors. If you have a different weather application, please contact us and we will discuss a customised course to suit your business.
