A five-year Met Office contract to deliver on-site weather service at Heathrow is first for a non-military organisation in the UK.
The Met Office has provided Heathrow with weather advice for many years from our Exeter headquarters. But for the airport to have the fastest, most immediate service possible, Heathrow invited us to work on-site, with their operational staff - around the clock, every day of the year.
Heathrow staff and airport stakeholdes can participate and hear how weather will impact on their operations over the next 24 hours and better understand the uncertainties in any weather situation.
