Wicked Weather Watch

Important Notice!

We are writing with immense sadness to let you know that Wicked Weather Watch will be closing on the 12th of May 2025.

For more than 15 years, we’ve had the privilege of bringing the Arctic into classrooms, inspiring over 31,000 young people to understand climate change and feel empowered to take action. We have loved every minute of it and are so grateful to all of our supporters, volunteers, partners and schools we’ve worked with.

While Wicked Weather Watch is closing, we’re thrilled that our legacy will live on through our wonderful friends at Better Planet Education. They will be continuing to use our educational resources and inspire children to take climate action so make sure you head to Better Planet Education to find resources, workshops, explorer talks and support.

Welcome

WWW brings climate change to life for students and teachers through workshops, talks, direct contact with those who have personally witnessed climate change in the polar regions, and by supporting teachers to integrate climate change into their every day teaching.

WWW helps to transform eco-anxiety into empowerment, turning education into meaningful, carbon-cutting action. We aim to support the wider school community, including teachers, families, governors and school managers to do the same.

Why focus on the Arctic?

Wicked Weather Watch was founded by Arctic Explorer, David Hempleman-Adams. David’s ambition has always been to educate students about the Arctic and how climate change is threatening this area of the world.

Over the past few decades, the annual average Arctic temperature has increased four times as fast as the rest of the world – having a detrimental impact on the Earth as a whole.

Book a session with us today

WWW provides talks and assemblies from Arctic explorers and climate change experts, as well as interactive workshops. All of our offerings are available in person or virtually. We aim to work mainly in the Southwest but are happy to work with schools outside of our area when possible.

We offer primary schools explorer talks, climate change expert talks, workshops on sustainability and the Arctic, and CPD for teachers.

We've taught over 31,000 pupils

...there has been a lot of discussion around climate change in the playground and in the classroom with children reminding people to turn off lights and discussing lunch choices that are better for the climate.

The children (and teachers!) found [the talk] really interesting and learnt so much. The photos were fascinating and the way [Terry] explained everything was perfect for the children. At the end they asked so many amazing questions about all sorts of things which really highlighted how engaged they were.

Such great work and so important for our children to learn about climate change!

"The session yesterday was fantastic thank you! I’ve had lots of positive feedback from KS2 teachers about how engaged the children were... it was great!"

"We really need to help the planet or all the cold areas will melt and make sea levels rise, causing lots of flooding. We can all play our part in [stopping] climate change!"

"Thank you so much for delivering such a brilliant workshop; the children were enthused and inspired by the whole morning. I hope that these [talks and workshops] will help the Green Team to set some exciting new goals for the school."
