ALT Met Office Space Weather Manager Krista Hammond said: "The data received during this event, both from the monitors on the ground and from the balloon launches, are vital for our understanding of how space weather impacts radiation levels throughout Earth’s atmosphere. This is the first time radiation data has been collected through the atmosphere during a space weather event in this way and this represents a big leap forward in scientific understanding."

ALT "Space based observations are critical for delivering weather forecasts and climate intelligence that people rely on every day to stay safe and grow the economy of the UK. Advancements in space observations are allowing us to improve our weather forecasts and also give us new imagery which helps us show the impacts of other hazards such as wildfires and drought which we have seen this summer." Simon Brown, Managing Director of Products and Services, Met Office
ALT "Delivering new and innovative space capability is important to enhance our preparedness for extreme weather and exploit the latest advances in our prediction capability using both physics and AI models. We welcome the new UK Space Strategy and its recognition of the vital role space plays in supporting weather and climate services, as well as the Met Office's role as the UK's space weather forecasting centre." Simon Brown, Managing Director of Products and Services, Met Office
ALT "From heatwaves to severe storms, the UK is continuing to experience extreme weather events with increasing frequency. The launch of EUMETSAT's new MTG-I2 satellite will be much welcomed by the Met Office as we seek to exploit its rapid scanning capability to issue more accurate and timely warnings to help people to stay safe and thrive."
