Across Northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland a cloudier day to come with some outbreaks of rain moving across Northern Ireland, western
: A maximum temperature of 17.6 °C was recorded at Nantwich, Reaseheath Hall (Cheshire) on the 9th. A minimum temperature of -8.7 °C was recorded at Shap (Cumbria) on the 29th. In the 24 hours ending at 0900 UTC on the 20th, 67.2 mm of rain fell at Achfary (Sutherland). A wind gust of 85 knots (98 mph
factor when it comes to how heavy a rainfall is. As we all probably remember from school, when water on the Earth is heated by the Sun, it evaporates and turns into water vapour which rises into the air. When the air cools it condenses around some dust or other particles in the air, these are called
that the faster we reduce our emissions of greenhouse gasses, the more we can avoid the most severe impacts of climate change.” The new analysis comes as leaders and policy makers from across the world come together for negotiations at COP26 in Glasgow.

This is the water available for use from precipitation, taking into account losses due to evaporation. The water run-off projections come from Davie et al
A weather front is expected to become slow-moving across Scotland from Friday and bring heavy and persistent rain to many areas through Saturday before easing on Sunday. A yellow warning for rain has been issued for a large part of Scotland which will come into force from midnight on Friday night
