Wynne’s interest in how the weather works began while he was studying Environmental Geography at the University of Aberdeen, leading him to complete a master’s degree in Applied Meteorology at the University of Reading.<\/p>\n
He told the Radio Times in 2011 that he would often stay up until sunrise after working overnight, to make sure his weather reports for accurate.<\/p>\n
“I have been known to drive around after night shifts, waiting for the sun to come up,” he said. <\/p>\n
“At night, it’s difficult to tell what kind of cloud there is on satellite pictures, so I like to see if I was right. More often than not, I am.”<\/p>\n
Before deciding on his future career in weather, he studied Civil Engineering at university, dropping out two years into the course.<\/p>\n
He then worked on a North Sea offshore oil rig for three years as a technician, before going back to university to study Environmental Geography.<\/p>\n
As part of his environmental research, he was able to travel widely, exploring South-East Asia.<\/p>\n
Wynne also worked as an English teacher in Fukuoka, Japan before studying for his masters degree.<\/p>\n
His Met Office training involved a six-month secondment at RAF Northolt and lasted 14 months in total.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wynne’s interest in how the weather works began while he was studying Environmental Geography at the University of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":132280,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-132279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132279\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
