to be aware of? • We provide a range of values (5 th to 95 th percentiles) as provided by IPCC AR5. There may be a greater than 10% chance that the real-world response lies outside this range and this likelihood cannot be accurately quantified. • We cannot rule out substantial additional sea level rise

storm forecasts compared to reference forecast (frequency of occurrence over preceding 180 days) (RPSS: relative improvement of probability forecast over reference forecast in predicting category which observation fell into) • Point averages for day 1 lie above no-skill line, & most of days 2-4

. Dr McCarthy adds: “For the first three days of March 2018 there were more than 100 weather observation stations recording at least 2cm of lying snow. Just over 50 of these stations had 10cm or more for those first three days. In some locations this snow persisted until 18 March when

. In total low-lying coastal areas received only around 50mm or less, however much of the high ground received 100 to 150mm, with some locations exceeding 150mm. The wettest areas were across the central Cumbrian fells, which received 200 to 300mm of rainfall and in a few locations 300 to 400mm. Upland

services and city infrastructure. Many of these communities, however, are in low-lying areas or next to rivers. This makes them extremely vulnerable to flooding, which can destroy homes and assets or even endanger life. Climate change means the threat is likely to increase, as some countries see

Kingdom lies in the latitude of predominantly westerly winds where depressions and fronts move bands of cloud and rain eastwards or north-eastwards across the North Atlantic. Between the depressions there are often small mobile anticyclones bringing welcome fair weather. Climate of the British

This stability has resulted in misty and murky conditions, with temperatures creeping into the low teens for many areas. The reason for this stubborn high pressure lies high in the atmosphere

anomaly is then added to the HadISST dataset 1989-2002 climatology to give a prediction for September 2010 of 5.5 million square kilometres. Despite the known model deficiencies, it is encouraging that this estimate lies in the range of the June Outlook report projections. Figure 2: GloSea4 forecast

, so it’s important for everyone to know their flood risk. “If there is flooding, we want to make sure people are doing all they can to keep themselves safe. We want to remind people to keep away from swollen riverbanks and do not to drive or walk through flood waters as you don’t know what lies
