About

I'm a weather forecaster. Forecasting is part science and part art: the models and observations give you the picture, and experience tells you when to doubt it.

I have always loved how weather is shown too: isobars drawn tight round a deepening low, a year of temperatures wound into a ring, fog filling a valley. The same data, recut, can tell a stranger something a table of numbers never would. Warm Sector is where the two meet, and my way of making weather mean something to the people it happens to.

What you will find here

Every print is drawn from real data: ERA5 from ECMWF and Copernicus, the Met Office's station observations and rainfall grids, NOAA's station records and NASA's satellite pictures. Nothing is added to make a better picture, and where a print simplifies, it says so.

Many are made to order from your own details. Give a date and a place, and a day that mattered becomes a chart of what the sky and the air did. Give a year, and it becomes a picture you can read.

Alongside them are ready-made prints of famous storms and floods, and a series on British weather types: the fog, the haar, the Spanish plume and the föhn, each from a real day that shows it at its clearest.

Weather is the one thing everybody shares. These prints let you hang a piece of it on your wall.
