, mainly latitude and height above sea level. Not all of us live in the Scottish Highlands and falls of sleet or snow over low-lying areas are usually confined to between November and April. However, there have been isolated falls as late as June. Even if snow falls in December, there is no guarantee

of the cumulonimbus extent field, seems to suggest that the new 0.25 degree resolution data has lower values overall. • This is because at 1.25 degree resolution all of the model points that lie within this grid box (at the underlying model resolution) are sampled, and the highest value is used. This process

-colour image highlights where snow is lying on the ground. They are created using five channels in the near-infra-red part of the spectrum so things look a little different to what the human eye would see. Snow can be easily differentiated from the white cloud as it now appears in a bright orange

increasing amounts of born digital content. Included in this is a digital image collection – a mixture of crown images and images transferred to the Met Office by the public with a keen interest in the weather. Digital preservation lies at the heart of our archive ensuring that content

areas of South Asia risks to infrastructure and settlements will be exacerbated by more intense cyclones, storm surges and rising sea levels. Roughly 370 million people in South Asia are already exposed to significant flood risk, mostly in low-lying coastal areas of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh

IMPACT POTENTIALS • MINOR: Localised flooding affecting roads and low-lying areas; Impact to private properties; Minimal impact to road users and daily activities. • MODERATE: Moderate impacts to the community, transport and infrastructure • MAJOR: Widespread flooding bringing about major impact

regions reporting lying snow. There was a marked contrast in maximum temps north to south, with maxes struggling to break zero in Scotland, but hitting the mid-teens Celsius in southern counties of England, the contrast diminishing between the 2nd and 4th as the cold air swept south to all parts
