  , particularly in the English Channel where readings of 17–20°C have been recorded. Northern Scotland’s waters are closer to average, around 13–14°C. Despite these elevated sea temperatures, they remain cool relative to the land. This contrast can lead to cold water shock for swimmers, especially

• Deep Dive: Record lows and a storm on the horizon

  led to even colder readings, but wind, rain, and cloud cover moderated the chill. Snowfall: A tale of two countries Not everyone in the UK has seen snow, but for northern Scotland, this has been one of the snowiest spells in living memory. Official recording stations have measured 52cm in Oyne

  on wind speed. Tornado hotspots in the UK The UK has its own versions of “Tornado Alley.” The research from Manchester University has also identified three main regions where tornadoes are most likely to occur: South-central England, particularly the area between Reading and London, with a peak near
