with atmosphere and oceanic conditions dating from between 21 August and 10 September 2020. Figure 1.1: Predicted probabilities for October-November-December 2020 rainfall from the statistical and dynamical forecasts. Probabilities are for 5 quintile categories referred to as: very dry, dry, average, wet and very

The wet season is between February and May with considerable year-to-year and decade-to-decade variability. The forecasts are produced using a combination of dynamical forecast models and statistical predictions and include predictions of the most likely of five rainfall categories (very wet, wet

Clouds redistribute heat and moisture through the atmosphere, as well as producing precipitation at the surface and reflecting solar radiation back out to space.  Their evolution can be very complex due to the interactions between the clouds themselves, radiation and fluid dynamics. Clouds act

Office PWS team. The Met Office are undertaking work to better understand the performance, and the Citizen Engagement Strategy is anticipated to bring a more targeted approach to making improvements in these areas over upcoming years. Whilst targets were only very narrowly missed there is concern

ice extent for 2023 was the lowest on record. During the ice growth season from June-October, ice extent was exceptionally low for the time of year, reaching over 1 million square km below previous record lows and setting a new record low maximum extent by a very large margin. For much of the rest

% wetter than 1981-2010 and 20% wetter than the 1961-1990 average. However, very long-period natural variations are also seen in the longer observational record. � � Total rainfall from extremely wet days (days exceeding the 99 th percentile of the 1961-1990 rainfall) has increased by around 17

Summary Arctic sea ice extent is currently 3rd lowest on record for the time of year, following record high ice loss during July. Extent is very low everywhere except in the Chukchi and East Siberian seas. This year is likely to see Arctic September extent in the lower or middle part of the range
