As a matter of interest do you do AQA Geography 2030 and do the

Weather hazards module. I do Contemporary Conflict and Challenge as an

option module simply because the GCSE syll has no weather module and

therefore they have no grounding for A level. Shame

It's been a shame for weather in the curriculum ever since the demise of the old Meteorology GCSE circa late 80's/early 90's. That gave pupils a good grounding in basic meteorology, but unfortunately it wasn't popular nationally and few pupils sat the exam. Down to few teachers being confident enough of their meteorology and having enough interest to teach it, really.
