• Met Office Deep Dive: A week after Storm Amy and high-pressure is here

  and into Saturday, it brought strong winds and heavy, thundery rain to much of the country. Notably, the centre of the low pressure dropped to 944 hectopascals (or millibars), with a reading of 947.9 hectopascals recorded in northern Scotland, a new October record for the region. Northern Ireland also

  the process to give a more direct comparison. The verification dataset is created by reading in GLM flashes for a 3-hour window, 1.5 hours either side of the valid time of the forecast. Flash data is then split into 12 15-minute “chunks” (to account for moving storms) and processed into a 2D histogram
