When Samwell Tarly calculated the climate of Westeros

In this video I interview Prof Dan Lunt from the University of Bristol (my home town!) about his work modelling the climates of Westeros and Middle Earth. Dan, sorry, Samwell used a cutting edge climate model he found in the Citadel to simulate the climate of Westeros and Essos (Planetos?) and found that George RR Martin had a pretty good natural sense of climate! We talk about the climate of the wall, Dorne, and Casterly Rock. Plus the lesson in climate modelling Dan learned along the way.
