Aerosols can influence clouds, precipitation, sunlight and climate. A special class of these particles – ice-nucleating particles – can trigger ice formation in clouds and may play an important role in climate feedbacks. Explore the science in our 3-part masterclass series: www.rmets.org/events/all

Why doesn’t 30°C always feel like 30°C? It might feel pleasantly warm in a light breeze one day, but on a different day the same temperature can feel oppressive, sticky and exhausting. That’s because air temperature doesn’t tell the whole story. Read more: www.rmets.org/metmatters/h...
