During summer 2023, the Met's Office Wessex Convection Experiment (WesCon) campaign focussed on observing convective clouds to better understand how they form and develop, leading to heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.

-based and remote sensing equipment. This concentration of available measurement platforms coupled with above average summer rainfall for the UK provided a fantastic opportunity to improve our understanding of convection. Routine radar measurements recorded details of the 3D structures of clouds

December 2018: Satellite image of spiral shaped cloud 07 December 2018 High resolution data from the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) on board NASA's Aqua satellite shows this low-pressure system centred off the North coast of Scotland on 7th December. The anti-clockwise swirl

and a clear start in the north-west, with more cloud elsewhere, but with western areas turning sunny by afternoon. The 3rd started cold in a few places, with sunshine in the north-west and south-west spreading to all but south-eastern areas by evening. The 4th began frosty in most areas, with early

, the increase in the resolution leads to a loss of compensating errors and thus increases the temperature bias compared to the lower resolution version. We reformulate some of the sub–grid scale physics parameterisations and model chemistry which produces an improved representation of cloud cover

On Monday, early low cloud and isolated fog patches in southern and western areas will soon lift, giving way to widespread sunshine, particularly across central England. Some shallow cumulus and stratocumulus cloud may develop in the south, but it will remain dry. Further north and west, conditions

isolated sharp showers are increasingly likely from around midday and through the afternoon before dying out early evening. Clear skies to start the night. Chance of cloud-free hill tops above 700m: 95% or more Low cloud and visibility: Very good or excellent visibility with no cloud on the hills. Check
