Her visit marks the 10th anniversary of the pioneering Space Weather Operations Centre.
Kudos and thanks to minister @abenaopp who was up before dawn and trekked across the country in the rain to visit us @metoffice HQ today and see first hand how we're supporting @cabinetofficeuk and the resilience community.
