Online Published on 26 July, 2024. Abstract Forensic Meteorology is the science of using historic weather records, atmospheric data, eyewitness accounts, and re-enactment simulations to determine the weather conditions at a specific time and location for litigation purposes. Forensic meteorologists frequently visit the scene of the accident or crime to look at the terrain and conditions present. AForensic Meteorologist could be called to corroborate or disprove an alibi, to supply context for an accident, or to work out if the conditions could have reasonably been anticipated or were an unexpected event. They may be called to provide context for disputes that arise from weather-related events; either between private parties, or in validating insurance claims, in vehicle accidents, agricultural disputes, weather modification, building collapses, or in something as simple as people slipping and falling.
