for much of England, especially the south-west, and also south Wales, but elsewhere cloud was more variable. The second half was generally more unsettled with frequent westerly and south-westerly winds, but with an exceptionally hot spell from the 22nd to 26th which saw record-breaking temperatures

, which has led to ‘defaunation’ in some areas, disturbing ecosystems Central Africa Climate The region is hot and generally humid, with exceptions in the northern arid Sahelian area (northern Sudano- Sahelian region of Cameroon and northern Central African Republic) and the cooler and drier area

fix was implemented by M.D. Palmer and then independently checked by T. Howard. Following the refactoring of the code, the UKCP18 sea-level projections were initially run for the four UK capital cities to check that the differences to the original projections were consistent with the expected increase

An initial burst of warm weather being drawn northwards from France on Wednesday will mean there is a chance temperatures could reach 28°C in the London area. A cold front will bring cooler conditions for Thursday and Friday before air with origins over the tropical Atlantic brings a return of warm

valley. These may be compared with 23.5 °C in the London area. Instances of extreme high temperatures are rare and are associated with hot air brought from mainland Europe on south easterly winds, accompanied by strong sunshine. The highest temperature ever recorded in the whole of Scotland was 32.9 °C

Increase in tropical cyclone risk to coastal regions Also known as hurricanes in the North Atlantic and typhoons in the northwest Pacific, tropical cyclones have maximum wind speeds of at least 74 miles per hour and can be up to 1000 kilometres in diameter.

from the 23rd to 29th, but a brief hot southerly incursion on the 30th and 31st brought unusually high temperatures to many parts of the UK, locally reaching 37.8 °C (100 °F) in the southeast. The provisional UK mean temperature was 14.3 °C, which is 0.8 °C below the 1981-2010 longterm average
