Abstract
This paper explores the role of weather station data in enabling better humanitarian decision making. It reflects on the results of a project commissioned by White Helmets and led by a team of researchers at Cambridge, to help set-up an anticipatory weather alert system in Northwest Syria. It asks important questions on the role of such weather data and also it's limitations. In the context of Syria and it's climate vulnerabilities we ask what is the role of such an interdisciplinary approach drawing on natural sciences and can it help?
