This paper focuses on amateur meteorology as a particular type of ‘homemade science’ since the production of meteorological data and knowledge takes place primarily within domestic spaces. A growing body of scholarship has begun to explore the history of amateur meteorology and this will be drawn upon to frame the paper. However, our primary interest is contemporary forms of amateur meteorology which have not received much research attention in spite of (mostly social scientific) scholarship which examines the ways in which amateur / volunteer science organisations are being recognized as legitimate sources of environmental knowledge within the design, implementation and evaluation of environmental plans and policies. More specifically, questions of female involvement and gender relations within amateur meteorology have also tended to be overlooked. By drawing on interviews with members of one of the most important amateur meteorological networks in the UK - the Climatological Observers Link - this paper seeks to address this gap. The research identifies a predominantly male bias within amateur meteorology in the UK, offers insight into why and how this bias has emerged and explores the implications of this bias for gender politics in the home. It also considers the way in which, as a pursuit that is very much situated within the domestic sphere, amateur meteorology complicates traditional framings of the home as a female realm and contributes to what we identify as a domestic masculinity.
