Nearly everyone uses weather information; however, the weather information available from various media outlets, websites, and mobile apps isn’t enough for everyone. Some folks are passionate about the weather, or have a weather-dependent hobby like hiking, sailing, or storm chasing. Others work in weather-related careers such as emergency management, aviation, or science journalism or broadcasting. These folks need to be weather information “power users” – possessing greater weather savvy than most members of the public. Explore how Penn State’s online Weather Forecasting Certificate program can turn weather enthusiasts and those who work in weather-related careers into weather information power users to enhance their hobbies or careers.
