Richard Allan Bio:
Richard Allan is a Professor of Climate Science with a passion for the weather that started in his childhood. Growing up in St. Albans during a famously snowy winter, he became fascinated with the science behind predictions, which led him to study mathematics and physics before pursuing a PhD at the University of Reading. Richard has since become an expert in his field, working for both the Met Department at the University of Reading and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and he continues to share his knowledge as a professor at the University of Reading.
