SkyWarn UK OT Spotter Training Program

SkyWarn UK OT is working to establish basic spotter training for our overseas members.

The program will consist of 2 parts - the 'Spotter Training Presentation' and the 'Spotter Test'. The presentation will cover spotter basics, advice on positioning, tropical cyclone climatology and hazards, and safety. Following the presentation, a simple test will need to be completed before you can become a registered SkyWarn UK OT spotter. All those who join before the training program is launched will be requested to undertake the basic training and pass the simple test in order to remain a registered SkyWarn spotter.
