This is 1.95 million square km below the 1981-2010 average according to the Met Office HadISST1.2 dataset. This is the 3rd lowest September extent recorded in the era of satellite observations of sea ice, after 2012 and 2007. It falls very near the longterm linear trend (Figure 1), and is also very

clearing into the North Sea. Additional heavy showers will move north-northeast across Northern Ireland and western Scotland. Elsewhere, the night will be largely dry with variable cloud and some clear spells. Winds will be light to moderate, fresh along some coasts, and it will remain a very warm

Current Status and Outlook - Rainfall Current Status: ​ 3-Month Outlook July to September - Rainfall Over the last three months, rainfall has been near-normal across most of West and Central Africa. Many parts of Eastern Africa were wet or very wet in March in April before becoming dry in May. During

parts of southern Africa where cool or cold conditions have been observed. Outlook: For the next three months, warmer than normal conditions are likely across most of Africa, and very likely in tropical regions and the western Sahel. The exception is in the far south, where cooler than normal

Africa experienced normal or dry conditions during June and August. In July and August, the West Africa Monsoon was more active than normal; many parts of West Africa experienced Wet or Very Wet conditions. Central Africa was mainly near-normal, except for July where Very Wet conditions were observed

months, much of the continent is likely, to very likely, to be warmer than normal during this period. The exceptions to this are likely to be parts of west and southern Africa. 3-Month Outlook November to January - Temperature Much More Likely Below Normal Near-Normal Above Normal Climate Outlook Africa

Office presenter and meteorologist, Honor Criswick, said: "This 10-day trend brings us to the end of May, also to the end of meteorological spring, and after a very dry season, a change is on its way. I thought we'd take a look at the bigger picture and start off by taking a look at areas across the US

insolation, warming the air up day-by-day. The sun is as strong at this time of year as it is in August. Under high pressure, the air tends to sink, get compressed, and warm up. So, it’s fair to say that this latest period of very warm weather has been ‘home-grown’ and not brought in from anywhere

and distribution lines; overhead lines can sag (potentially into trees and other environmental obstacles). The impact of cold is less than heat; ice accretion on lines is a significant hazard and has an impact on network load. Less maintenance is undertaken on the network during very cold weather
