Climate scientist and slightly obsessive cyclist at the Met Office Hadley Centre. These are my own personal murmurings and not at all official.

@jjrennie @climpeter @NOAANCEI @DekeArndt This is super fantastic news. Congratulations Deke!!!

@BethFTBrockett Hi Beth, lots of places round SW signed up to https://t.co/NhocVXgMUs where you can hire an all terrain mobility scooter by the hour. Fantastic scheme. Many National Trust estates had it and Forestry Commission sites. We used quite a few - access to nature is so beneficial.

@xie_climate Very nice paper. I'm interested in this from a perspective of whether changing wind speed over ocean generally could be sufficient to drive changes in near-surface RH.

[Kate Willett @Kate_M_Willett]

@ed_hawkins I look at climate data almost every day and yet this graphic was like a punch in the face. Very powerful.

[Kate Willett @Kate_M_Willett]

@DrMichaelByrne @IMSI_Institute I'm interested! I'm not at the conference but I'd love to hear more if there is an abstract / paper you can point me in the direction of please? Enjoy the conference!

[Kate Willett @Kate_M_Willett]

@MatthiasSchuer1 Really?

[Kate Willett @Kate_M_Willett]

Well, I think humidity is important...

[Met Office Science @MetOffice_Sci]

As a new paper is published today shedding light on humidity over oceans, author @Kate_M_Willett @metoffice Hadley Centre Senior Climate Scientist explains why water vapour & humidity are really important variables in terms of our life on earth. More here: https://t.co/VQdsail2Le

@dougmcneall So I can feel better about the kgs of peanut butter I get through each month, phew!

[Kate Willett @Kate_M_Willett]

@climpeter @dougmcneall @leobarasi I believe we have a video somewhere. It was hilarious. 10 hilly miles there, and then back again.

[Kate Willett @Kate_M_Willett]

@dougmcneall @leobarasi I cycled him there. He cycled me home.

[Kate Willett @Kate_M_Willett]

@dougmcneall Love this video. So glad our thumbs up for the e-cargo bike has also worked out for you.

[Kate Willett @Kate_M_Willett]

@kmfweb @sheffieldgeog @JoySingarayer @UniRdg_Met @sheffieldplants @sheffield_dust @PhDVoice Such fantastic news! What a battle of a PhD topic! I hope your brain can recover and that you're not seeing gridded maps in your sleep.

[Kate Willett @Kate_M_Willett]

@dougmcneall Wowsers, that makes me so sad. For the record, I know that you are absolutely not a moron. In fact I think you are brilliant.

[Tim Osborn @TimOsbornClim]

Then on 7 June (1600-1800 BST), we have "Observing and Explaining Climate Change" which will cover different aspects of the instrumental climate record plus how it is used to attribute the causes of climate change and to constrain future changes.

@devonclimate This is great but sadly we've just lost our night bus #39 to and from Exeter so now any users will have to drive.

[Kate Willett @Kate_M_Willett]

@ChloBrim @JonathanRBuzan Fab, will do.

[Kate Willett @Kate_M_Willett]

@ChloBrim @JonathanRBuzan Many thanks! Any particular way in which you would liked acknowledgement for it if I actually manage to do something with it.

[Kate Willett @Kate_M_Willett]

@dougmcneall @ternbicycles @BikeShedDevon Very! I'm going to miss turning up at the school gates as a sweaty exhausted lycra mess. Might actually brush my hair..

[Kate Willett @Kate_M_Willett]

Yesterday, we bought a Tern bike - the school run and shopping has just become a twice daily highlight as opposed to an epic slog. Thanks @ternbicycles and @BikeShedDevon

[Kate Willett @Kate_M_Willett]

@kmfweb @sheffieldgeog @sheffieldplants @sheffield_dust @granthamcsf @AcademicChatter Amazing news. What an epic achievement Florentine. Its been a pleasure working with you and seeing this work progress - a beast of a thesis topic.
