The Rainfall Observers
Over the past three centuries, thousands of people across the British & Irish Isles have recorded rainfall, often every day for decades. Here we recognise some of the individuals who made particularly important contributions.

Oral histories can inform us of environmental hazards, and remind us that relatively few natural disasters are surprises: “Oral histories show Kerr County residents have warned one another, as well as newcomers and out-of-towners, about flooding for a long time.”

Climate change is altering migration patterns. Discussing climate-related migration shapes perceptions and actions. Our words influence empathy or fear, public opinion, and political discourse, guiding potential solutions.
The Stories We Tell: How Framing Shapes our Understanding of Climate-linked Migration
The language and narratives we use don’t just describe climate-linked migration—they shape public attitudes, guide policy, and influence the solutions we see as possible.
