I've been trying to browse back numbers of "Weather" via my
membership of the Royal Met Soc but there are problems. The
website is an ill-thought-out shambles. When you do finally stop
going round in circles you land up meeting brick walls and going
down various cul-de-sacs on the Wiley website to whom the R Met S
has outsourced all its publications. It appears to be impossible
to gain access to any publication despite the R Met S's assertion
that this is free to Members. What is "free" is usually just the
title of an article. This is most dishonest and I am considering
not renewing my membership despite having been a member
(Associate Fellow) for 37 years. Has anyone here had similar
problems?

Tudor Hughes.

Yes, it is a bit long winded Tudor.

Here is the order to do things:

Login as member on the RMetS site.
Click on Publications
Then Journals,
Then on 'Members Access to Journals' (in Orange)

Then Weather
Browse
All issues.

There is a search facility at the top of the page.

Len


Thanks, Len. I have tried all that as I did last night. On
pressing the orange button "Members access to journals" a page comes
up which says "Access Denied". In the body of the text below the
button is a link to Back Files which produces exactly the same result
- access denied. I tried going directly to Weather, Browse, All
issues and found there was a small orange indicator to "login". This
takes you back to the original page where you can have another go at
wasting your time and so ad infinitum. All this despite a green
panel that came up (somewhere or other) and explicitly stated that I
was successfully logged in. Perhaps I'm persona non grata, for
reasons that escape me. Anyway, thanks for your efforts.

Tudor Hughes.


I gave it a try earlier this afternoon and got in with no problem. I
was able to browse and search "Weather" right back to the first issue.
It sounds as though there's something screwed up with your login
credentials, Tudor. It probably needs some attention from the people at
RMetS HQ.

OK, Norman. I'll have to send them an email in the politest terms I can summon. Thanks for your efforts.
