Simon Keeling is proud to be a self-confessed weather anorak, and loves to convey enthusiasm for weather, climate and forecasting to viewers, listeners and readers.

He has done stints on all the main UK networks, but now spends more time writing about the weather, running weather courses for TV weather presenters, pilots and sailors, as well as running his own weather company.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society and has a Master of Science Degree in Applied Meteorology & Climatology from the University of Birmingham.
About Fernhurst Books
Fernhurst Books was founded in 1979, initially publishing books related to dinghy racing. The list soon expanded to include cruising and other watersports. In 2006 the business was sold to John Wiley, but in 2013 a group of sailing enthusiasts (including the original founder) bought the list and name back, once again creating an independent nautical publisher owned and run by sailors. Fernhurst continues to publish books that instruct, inform and inspire those with a passion on, in or under the water. Their 140+ titles range from how-to guides to narrative to coffee-table books, covering sailing, surfing, canoeing, kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, swimming, diving and fishing.
