“…Going full circle, the DWD itself offers a weather map called ‘Danger indices for the weather sensitive’, which attempts to measure how one’s body and mind are affected by the weather. 7 This raises further questions around how the affective is bound up in weather- and climate-sensing, which future ethnographic work might explore (see also Engelmann, 2021; Verlie, 2019).…”

In light of the increasing tendency to view extreme weather events as experiences of climate change, we revisit how weather and climate are measured and experienced, contributing to an ongoing dialogue on the atmospheric between phenomenology, media studies and geography. We make use of and complicate the concept of sensing to make sense of the heterogeneous modes of experiencing and measuring weather. First, we detail the history and phenomenology of weather between experience and measurement. Providing evidence for our theoretical account, we go through two ethnographic examples of weather-sensing, looking at the work of meteorologists and a weather-machine. From weather-sensing, we extrapolate the possibility of climate-sensing to aid in the comprehension of climate change. Sensing, we conclude, promises to reconnect weather and climate, the measured and experienced, the proximate and remote, the bodily and abstract.

“…How do we make sense of weather and climate across spatial and temporal scales? The concept of sensing, we argue, helps elucidate the messy epistemologies of weather and climate (Horn, 2018); it ‘foregrounds the multiple ways that atmospheres are sensed and made sense of’ (Engelmann, 2021: 2).…”
