Wintry conditions will be slowly easing their grip on most parts of the UK over the weekend, but a return to colder conditions for many is likely in the early part of next week.

Over the next few days Met Office Chief Forecasters anticipate making changes to the pattern of National Severe Weather Warnings. Friday outlook The low-pressure system – named Storm Larisa by our French partner Météo-France - has moved across a swathe of England and has brought significant

of exposure of regions to both high humidity heat events and dry heat events and measure the rate at which such events have increased in severity and frequency over the last 50 years. Wet bulb temperature is a common way of measuring humidity, is less complex than other measures of heat, and provides

fog in the north-west, and sunshine for all once the cloud in the south-east cleared away, but northern areas clouded over later. 5th to 15th During the next fortnight, frosts were regular and often widespread. The north dawned clear on the 5th, a generally cold and windy day for all, with rain

projections included in UKCP18. UKCP Local consists of an ensemble of 12 “convection-permitting” simulations over a region covering the UK (the model grid length is 2.2 km over the UK), run for five consecutive 20-year time periods spanning 1980 – 2080 (Kendon et al. 2021, 2023b) under a high emissions
