mild winter forecast

"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"
Yes, I used to teach that to 20 or so pupils a year in the lower sixth as part of the general studies prgramme, and very enjoyable it was too, especially the coursework projects, investiating frost hollows, urban heat island effects, micro-climates etc.
Like geology, meteorology was put into the ket stage 3 science curiiculum, and science teachers haven't got a clud, nor an interest for that matter!
