2022 records. Met Office Senior Scientist Mike Kendon said: “The observations of the UK climate are clear. Climate change is influencing UK temperature records over the long term, with 2023 going down as another very warm year and the second warmest on record. Had the 2023 value occurred during

predictions of climate for vulnerable regions of Africa, including predictions of extremes for critical variables such as rainfall. This project aims to evaluate key local processes and modes of variability, and to develop improved understanding of both local and remote influences driving African climate

-observed are the 22 degree halo and parhelia (or “sun-dogs”) but there are many others. It is a feature of such refractions that the deviation of light rays is wavelength-dependent and so white light is separated into colours, completely analogously to what happens in a normal rainbow. Where the ice

affect the natural variation of our weather. There is the potential for the weak La Niña signal to affect the UK’s weather this month, but it is vying for influence of the UK winter weather with a range of other competing global climate influences which can also affect our weather. Whatever weather we
