The meeting will feature:
Darren Ray, independent climatologist and guest weather commentator for ABC Radio.
Darren will discuss ‘So what happened with El Nino? – 2023’s crazy weather, and what it means for 2024’.
Well known for his monthly seasonal outlook on Jon Lamb’s ABC Gardening show, Darren started in 2002 as a meteorologist with the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting weather and severe events, then doing seasonal forecasting and climate change work as the head of the Bureau’s South Australian climate section.
Since late 2019, he now consults independently on weather, seasonal forecasting and climate change, as well as pursuing further studies in paleoclimate with the University of Adelaide, and working part-time as a climate change analyst with the State Government.
