This is the podcast’s second instalment of the Blue Earth Summit. In this inspiring episode of For the Love of Weather, meteorologist hosts Gemma and Aisling take listeners to the Blue Earth Summit, where conversations about weather, climate, creativity, and the future of our planet take centre stage.
They speak with Laura Tobin, meteorologist and weather presenter for ITV’s Good Morning Britain, who shares how weather forecasting is about far more than just predicting rain. It’s about making complex science easy to understand, building trust with audiences, and using that platform to help people better understand climate change and the increasing frequency of extreme weather.
Laura shares her personal stories—from witnessing the dramatic impacts of warming glaciers in the Arctic, to finding hopeful ways individuals can make positive climate choices in everyday life. Gemma and Aisling loved talking to Laura and wish that they had more time with her!

The last guests are Pegah Souri and Jennifer Cheveaux from the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project. They talk us through the aim of mapping the entire ocean floor by 2030, reminding us how much of our planet remains unexplored and the benefits it would bring such as predicting the impacts of Tsunamis.

Across every conversation, one theme stands out: the challenges are huge, but solutions exist — and we all have a role to play.
