differences, and some very high resolution climate modelling suggests that summers may tend to become drier overall but when it does rain it will fall in heavier bursts, which has implications for flash flooding. • Drought - It is very challenging to say whether drought events are becoming more common

bursts its banks on the afternoon of the 7th which affected the M1 at junction 34, and not far from there the Environment Agency used high-volume pumps to move water away from homes. Many rescues were carried out by the fire service in Doncaster, and on the 8th a major incident was declared

aspects considered included how it might related to triggering winter fuel payments, the increase in fire response call outs as more people light fires, the risk of household water pipes bursting and in the education setting transport issues can impact keeping the 1200 school estate open. KS spoke

saw the start of a slow thaw. Burst water pipes then became a problem with Northern Ireland worst affected - a week of sub-zero temperatures and the subsequent thaw resulted in some 40,000 homes and businesses being without mains water.

January 2020 – The Met Office participates in a field campaign on Clouds, Circulation and Climate Sensitivity out of the Caribbean island of Barbados with UK, European and American partners.

From 20th of January to 20th of February 2020 the observational field campaign EUREC4A (Elucidating the role of clouds-circulation coupling in climate) will take place, with operations based out of the Caribbean island of Barbados (Fig 1). EUREC4A is a European initiative that, together

and the Isle of Wight. Storm Ciarán exacerbated existing flooding problems with many rivers bursting their banks. At West Bay in Dorset, a section of cliff collapsed into the sea. In Surrey, storm Ciarán caused a power outage at three water treatment plants leaving thousands without a water supply

frequencies, which pass through the ionosphere. During solar flares the intense burst of radiation interferes with the ionosphere, absorbing HF communications signals and causing radio blackouts on the sun-lit side of the Earth. During geomagnetic and solar radiation storms the ionosphere is modified

June, largely focussed in the Laptev, and later the East Siberian, Sea. This was likely caused by prolonged warm southerly winds from Siberia associated with the notable Siberian heatwave (see also July briefing). In the first three weeks of July two more notable bursts of warm advection from Siberia
