2024-25 WxChallenge
Hello Meteorology-Climatology Majors,
During the 2024-25 academic year UNL is again participating in WxChallenge, a North American forecasting competition (wxchallenge.com). You're encouraged to participate if you would like experience forecasting for a variety of sites and would like to test your forecasting ability against students and faculty from many universities with weather programs in the U.S. and Canada. This is also a good experience if you might have interest in forecasting as a career. You can participate for just one semester (fall or spring; 5 sites each, $3 registration per semester), or for the entire year (10 sites, $5 registration total). Forecasting begins on 30 September.
Registration is online (https://www.wxchallenge.com/registration.php) and is currently open; you will need UNL's registration key: rI4KhAxTk. Your registration fee can be given to Dr. Van Den Broeke (mvandenbroeke2@unl.edu; 306 Bessey Hall); also direct any questions to him. Please have your registration completed and your fee paid by 2100 UTC (4 PM) on 30 September. Thank you!
