. This continues the theme from spring, which was also exceptionally sunny.  How do we know when records are broken?  The answer lies in a Met Office dataset that's been quietly mapping our weather history for around the last two centuries.

Products that combine UKCP18 projections information with other data to create new or updated impacts information derived from UKCP18 – so-called derived products – are needed to fill this information gap. The development of derived products lies
