having the potential to even reach 30% woodland cover. Chris believes there are benefits to planting trees wherever the opportunity lies. He said: “Planting or preserving large blocks of trees can have obvious benefits for the climate, the environment, people and wildlife. However, single or small

February. High pressure typically brings settled, dry weather, and while it’s not unusual to see such pressure systems in spring, their persistence this year has been more pronounced than usual. A key reason for this lies in the behaviour of the jet stream, a fast-flowing air current high in the atmosphere

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

for Western Kenya would cover five additional counties that lie on the eastern inland fringe of the climatic zone: Uasin Gishu, Nandi, Kericho, Nyamira and Kisii. Time of publication and period of forecast coverage The daily forecast would be issued by KMD at 16.00 seven days per week. II would cover

spells. 3.3.4 By the end of the 21 st century, lying snow decreases by almost 100% over much of the UK, although smaller decreases are seen over mountainous regions in the north and west. 4. Marine Projections A new set of marine projections show that sea level around the UK will continue to rise

with the reduction in summer rainfall. Locally this could lead to an exacerbation of the severity of hot spells, although large-scale warming and circulation changes are expected to be the primary driver of increases in the occurrence of hot spells. 3.3.4 By the end of the 21st century, lying snow

eastwards on the 10th followed by a day of sunshine and wintry showers, some of the showers wintry even at low levels with 6 cm of lying snow at Middleton (Derbyshire). A ridge of high pressure brought a quieter day on the 11th but cloud and rain spread from the west late in the day, giving 48.8 mm at Shap

of uncertainty it is only a ‘snapshot’ of current scientific understanding and modelling capability. Areas where there is good model agreement is likely to suggest confidence in that projection, however models which lie outside of it should not be neglected without good reason.
