My guess is 200-400k

I just need a ball park figure to use in a talk.......

1800 are employed by the MetO:

which equates to 9,400 people:

That would equate to about 30,000 scientists in all,
maybe 10,000 forecasters?

about 15000 working in the major countries,

I would think in UK Met there are probably only about 400-500
active forecasters.
I think I'll say 10-20 thousand.

Is this a talk to be given in an east coast University?
Somewhere near the fens perhaps.

Not Cambridge I take it?

You are either a 15 year old not doing his homework well or a senior
scientist working at the CRU.

Or both as the case may be.
