Britain's Government Meteorologists May Strike

More information is here. The British "Met Office" is their equivalent to the USA's National Weather Service. They run the second most accurate meteorological forecasting model in the world. 

It is unknown the effects of the strike, if it occurs. If they stop making airport weather observations, it could bring much of aviation to a halt in the United Kingdom. If they stop launching weather balloons and running the UKMET model, then the effects could be farther reaching. 

Stay tuned.
