Weather and climate news

The first ever geostationary satellite to provide 3D profiles for temperature and humidity for Europe launches today [1 July], in the latest phase of a multi-year project to transform weather forecasting and climate monitoring.

While not everywhere across the UK will experience a heatwave, temperatures are building in the southern half of the UK.

A further heatwave building from the weekend and peaking into the early part of next week is likely to bring the highest temperatures of the year so far to the UK.

New study highlights how UK heatwaves could become longer and hotter due to escalating climate trends.
