on the coast, with the highest values on the coast of County Down. The coldest nights are those on which there is a covering of snow on the ground; the lowest temperatures occur away from the moderating influence of the sea, on the floors of inland valleys into which cold air can drain. It was under

above shows a true-colour image of northern Italy and the Central Alps from the morning of 6 January 2023. At the bottom of the image, we see the large, flat expanse of the Po Valley plain completely covered by fog and low cloud. We also see tendrils of fog penetrating northwards into the mountain

This was the lowest pressure over England since 30 October 2000, when 951.2 hPa was recorded at Fylingdales (North Yorkshire). Station (height in metres) Needles Old Battery (Isle

valley. These may be compared with 23.5 °C in the London area. Instances of extreme high temperatures are rare and are associated with hot air brought from mainland Europe on south easterly winds, accompanied by strong sunshine. The highest temperature ever recorded in the whole of Scotland was 32.9 °C

with high resolution simulations, and investigations into the sensitivity of resolved mountain drag on model resolution.  She was also involved in a project focusing on temperature downscaling in complex terrain, in particular the formation of cold air pools within valleys during clear calm nights

a construction crane in north London and tore the sails off a historic windmill in Burgh Le Marsh, Lincolnshire. London’s eight royal parks were closed. Some of the worst impacts were from flooding. There was significant flooding in North Wales at Llanrwst in the Conwy valley. However, the worst affected

. The Brize Norton TAF is encouraging, but also note Birmingham’s best cloud conditions of scattered at 1000ft. This is expected to increase and lower to become broken at 900ft at times. This is probably because Brize Norton is slightly protected in the Thames Valley while Birmingham (and, importantly
