Forensic Meteorology

Forensic Meteorology is the application of meteorological science in the legal context. This can include legally admissible weather evidence for court cases, investigations into the weather conditions of insurance and liability claims, and meteorological support for the emergency services. Its main purpose is to provide accurate and reliable weather data to legal systems to help resolve disputes. It is an essential tool for advancing justice and resolving civil and criminal cases. The application of forensic meteorology also offers public safety benefits as well as economic benefits, such as minimizing the costs associated with ambiguous weather-related claims.
