Petr Zacharov

Weather forecasting, including road surface conditions, is his area of expertise. Petr Zacharov, a meteorologist, climatologist, and geographer at the Czech Academy of Sciences, also specialises in severe storms and tornadoes. Part of his work takes him to Milešovka, the windiest meteorological observatory in the Czech Republic, where he serves as an observer.

He will explain how tornadoes and other extreme weather events form, how to stay safe when they occur, and why the scientific community is convinced that such events will become increasingly frequent.
