About the Author
Zoe Johnson is a meteorologist, journalist and author. She spent three years as an operational meteorologist, providing weather forecasts to farmers, wind farms and the media. Zoe's passion for climate change communication inspired her to leave operational forecasting and pursue a career as a journalist, through which she hopes to tell climate-related stories that inspire and motivate. Although she misses day-to-day forecasting, Zoe still follows the weather and loves being outdoors, where there is always the chance to do a bit of cloud spotting!
