    Simon Keeling

    Simon Keeling is proud to be a self-confessed weather anorak, and loves to convey enthusiasm for weather, climate and forecasting to viewers, listeners and readers. From the age of nine he dreamed of being a TV weatherman and in 1995 that dream came true when he became weatherman for GMTV. He has done stints on all the main UK networks, but now spends more time writing about the weather, running weather courses for TV weather presenters, pilots and sailors, as well as running his own weather company. He is a Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society and has a Master of Science Degree in Applied Meteorology & Climatology from the University of Birmingham.
