A powerful Jet Stream will develop above the North Atlantic this week, with perhaps the strongest winds of the winter so far 🌬️ This means a return to wet and windy conditions in the UK by Friday with some disruptive weather likely. Keep up to date with the forecast.

The Atlantic jet stream reaches extraordinary strength next week with 250mph winds! Some very quick flights travelling between the US and UK with these tailwinds This powerful jet stream develops an intense low with gusts over 100mph OVER THE SEA to the west of the UK

A fantastic weekend with our Year 12 geographers exploring urban and coastal fieldwork in Thailand! 🇹🇭 #Geography #Fieldwork

A fantastic day out with the Year 10 geographers investigating longshore drift at Cheung Sha Beach! 🌊☀️ With sand in our shoes and the sun shining, what's not to like? #GeographyFieldTrip @Harrow_HK

Y7 Geographers are out investigating litter pollution at our local beach today! We’re lucky this site is just a short walk from school. A fantastic opportunity for students to apply classroom concepts to their local environment and deepen their understanding of sustainability.

Today we bid farewell to our Y8 boarders. Jack and Imogen have been so fortunate to grow up with these students looking out for them. We'll miss seeing your friendly faces next year, but we're excited for you all as you move into your Senior Houses. Cheers to your bright futures!

From little acorns mighty oaks grow! My first day back after maternity leave, and what a delight to have a visit from our former Y13 geographers (Class of 2022). So great to hear about life beyond Harrow - the world is your oyster! @HHKSShaftesbury @HeadHarrowHK

A great evening flying the Geography flag at Sixth Form Options Evening #choosegeography #rolluprollup @Harrow_HK

Running into the next academic year 🙌 #fullsteamahead

An incredibly powerful afternoon experiencing life in a slum and understanding why it is so hard to break the cycle of poverty. Thank you @CrossroadsHK for opening our eyes and inspiring us … Now to ask ourselves “what can we do” #nevertoosmall @Harrow_HK

A fab day talking all things #gis @EsriChina #CPD #digitalmapping - Now to embed all the ideas into our teaching!🤓🗺️

@HarrowHKGeog great demographic chart.

Year 13 Geographers have been learning about biodiversity loss in the Amazon rainforest, today we used VR to travel to Brazil to witness the impact of deforestation to make way for cattle farming strengthening their synoptic links. @Harrow_HK

Lots of #GeographyTeacher talking about the latest release by the #IPCC from the 6th Assessment report. See a helpful summary at bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

Hemsby: How many other communities are at risk of erosion? #geographyinthenews #gitn #geographyteacher bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
