Decent Energy is an award winning start up. They are not an energy company but a company in the middle trying to reduce carbon footprint while saving you money.

We chat about 🌬️ Why windy days can make energy greener and cheaper

🔋 How home batteries work (even if you don’t have solar panels!)

☀️ Storing renewable energy to use later in the day

🏡 How this technology could help tackle fuel poverty and support social housing

📉 Reducing energy bills without changing your daily routine

🌦️ The fascinating connection between weather forecasting and renewable energy

It’s a really hopeful conversation about practical climate solutions, innovation, and how small changes in the way we use energy could make a big difference. Plus, there are plenty of weather geek moments, career stories, and behind-the-scenes chats along the way ☁️💛

Ever find yourself actually enjoying a rainy afternoon or wondering why a certain cloud looks the way it does? You're not alone. For the love of weather is the ongoing conversation between meteorologists Gemma Plumb and Aisling Creevey, who have spent over fifteen years forecasting across the UK. This podcast captures the kind of deep-dive chats they've been having for years, moving far beyond simple small talk. They pull back the curtain on what weather really means for our daily lives, drawing on a surprising range of experience. Their professional paths have seen them predicting conditions for everything from major music festivals and national rail networks to agricultural harvests and even ice cream demand, giving them a unique perspective on how the atmosphere connects to the ground beneath our feet. Each episode feels like sitting with two experts who are still genuinely fascinated by their subject, discussing the science behind a storm front, the challenges of a long-range forecast, or how a shift in the wind can change an entire industry's plans. It's a look at the patterns and stories in the sky, grounded in the reality of jobs, life changes, and a shared curiosity that hasn't faded. Tune in for a human take on the forces that shape our days.
