Talking about climate and weather with the Office of the Washington State Climatologist
From its base at the southwest corner of the Seattle campus, the Office of the Washington State Climatologist provides expertise, tools and resources on “all things climate” to partners and communities across the state.
Guillaume Mauger was announced in the spring as the new Washington state climatologist. Mauger is a research scientist with the UW Climate Impacts Group, which now houses the state climatologist’s office. Mauger’s research focuses mainly on water and floods in the context of climate change.
Karin Bumbaco, a UW research scientist and the deputy state climatologist, studies such things as nighttime heat in Seattle and new ways to display weather data, as well as other trends involving heat and drought.
