a location records a period of at least three consecutive days with temperature values meeting or exceeding the heatwave temperature threshold for that location. Across much of the north and west of the UK this threshold is 25ºC, but across Greater London and the Home Counties the threshold is higher

The team, which involved scientists from the Met Office Hadley Centre, Imperial College London and the University of Reading, compared wind power availability with electricity demand in winter and they found an interesting result. Hazel Thornton, of the Met Office Hadley Centre, is one

, where an easterly breeze will limit temperatures this week. This will mean places like Newcastle, Hull and parts of London could see maximum temperatures jump by as much as 10 degrees between Friday and Saturday.  Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Steve Willington, said: “It’ll be warm with sunny

was recorded at 24°C in Northolt, Greater London, on the 12th. This is significantly lower than the historical record of 29.4°C set at Camden Square, London, on April 16, 1949. On the other end of the spectrum, the lowest daily minimum temperature this year was -6.6°C at Tomintoul, Banffshire, on April 5

this summer, Cirencester in the Cotswolds recorded the largest number of ‘warm weather days’, with 32 days of 25-30 degree heat. This was followed by St James’ Park in London, which enjoyed 30 days of temperatures between 25-30 °C. Shoreham-by-Sea in West Sussex, completed the top three, recording 23 days

in an hour could be 3.5 times more likely by the 2070s compared with the 1990s. In London 30mm/hr could be 2.5 times more likely. 30mm of rain in one hour is a threshold which is typically used to trigger flash flood warnings. These results suggest a big increase in the frequency of flash flood
