pressure systems that resulted in a number of notably windy days. The weather settled down for the final few days of the month, when it also became much warmer. The provisional UK mean temperature was 9.1 °C, which is 1.3 °C below the 1981-2010 long-term average, making it the coldest May since 1996

across the UK.   Temperatures increased in the third week briefly, before low pressure brought more unsettled weather. The last week of the month saw high pressure in charge, with the highest temperature of the year so far recorded on 30th of July with 32°C at Kew Gardens and Heathrow

Although there will be a bit of a split in the weather over the coming days, much of England and Wales will see bright and dry conditions with sunny spells. Temperatures will reach the mid 20˚Cs across the south where it will feel quite warm with light winds. Further north, Scotland, Northern

As the planet warms, the intensity, frequency and duration of extreme weather events such as heatwaves and heavy rainfall is expected to increase.

of HadEX3 have today been published in a paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres.  Dr Robert Dunn of the Met Office is the lead author. Commenting on the update, he said: “Looking at the changing climate by studying the frequency of extreme weather events provides a different

, compared to winter when they are between 6°C and 8°C. Eastern England has high average summer temperatures of between 20°C to 23°C. The highest UK temperature ever recorded was 38.7°C in Cambridge Botanic Garden, July 2019. Some of the UK’s highest summer sea temperatures will be found in the southern

more than the average July rainfall by midmonth. Temperatures increased in the third week of July, with temperatures in the upper 20s across southeast England, reaching the 30s in some areas. Heathrow and Kew Gardens (Greater London) both saw 32.0°C on the 30th, the highest temperature of the year so

He led the development of the CFMIP-2 strategy to improve the understanding and evaluation of cloud feedbacks in climate models and is currently working on co-ordinating project implementation.

In a paper published today [Monday 3 April, 2017] climate scientists at the Met Office Hadley Centre have shown that the early mitigation needed to limit eventual warming below potentially dangerous levels has a climate ‘payback’

Change – investigates how quickly benefits of mitigation could be realised through any reduction in the occurrence of extreme seasonal temperatures over land. The team focussed on model results from future scenarios of a rapidly-warming world: one without any action to reduce emissions; and one

Following on from a week of contrasts, with increasingly warmer conditions spreading north eastwards across the UK following below-average temperatures earlier in the week. Temperatures are on the rise as we head into the weekend 📈 especially across the south as mild air is drawn up from
