of impacts. Brief hot spells can lead to impacts on human health, especially in urban areas where buildings retain heat, resulting in higher night time temperatures. Impacts on transport can include buckling of rail tracks and reductions in the safe loading of aircraft. More prolonged heat can

due to bad weather with a frontal system bringing strong winds and heavy cloud across southern England and the Channel Coasts. A brief settled period was predicted for 6 June with a high pressure system moving in from the north west. In the event the conditions improved more slowly than expected

to occur once in that time. For example, we found that for this area and in today’s climate, a cold-weather event with a daily minimum temperature of -10.5 °C is a 1-in-20-year event. The temperature associated with extreme cold events in 2050 will depend on the level of global greenhouse gas

travel from the Sun to Earth in as little as 18 hours, although they can take up to 96 hours to arrive. Once they reach Earth, their effects can last for several days. READ MORE: Space weather: How different types affect us What are the effects? Geomagnetic storms can have both physical

solar particles to funnel into the atmosphere near the magnetic poles. READ MORE: What are geomagnetic storms and what are their effects? Once inside the Earth’s upper atmosphere, these energetic particles collide with gas molecules such as oxygen and nitrogen. These collisions excite the gas

rainfall also plays a role in pollen levels as less rain means less pollen.  READ MORE: Met Office Pollen Forecast 2025: What You Need to Know The threshold for a high pollen count varies depending on the type of pollen. Once measured, the number of pollen grains is represented per cubic metre of air. Hay

conditions typically lead to a faster annual CO2 rise, due to an overall weakening of natural carbon sinks, largely driven by hotter, drier conditions in tropical land areas. La Niña conditions have broadly opposite impacts, so typically lead to an overall strengthening of natural carbon sinks
