2025: • Big changes to WAFS Significant Weather (SIGWX) forecasts • Existing T+24 forecasts/chart production will be automated and their appearance/content will change • New multi-timestep SIGWX forecasts covering T+6 to T+48 at 3-hourly intervals will be introduced (Feb 2025). www.metoffice.gov.uk

and climate information is for the community but because the weather in the tropical regions is not harsh people here don’t take climate information like in Europe or America where they have harsh climate. • Dissemination of climate information is a big challenge and there is a need to get as many

, these buoys are solar powered but can run for around three to six months on batteries alone. All critical components are duplicated to provide backup in case of system failures, ensuring resilience and reliability.  READ MORE: Seeing the bigger picture: How satellite data shapes Met Office forecasts

. Met Office IT infrastructure includes High Performance Computing (HPC), desktops, big data networks, mainframe, large web presence and data storage. The new HPC will bring new challenges around data volumes and the PAG was pleased to note that solutions were being developed to address this challenge

a big challenge though which requires co-design between computational scientists, software engineers, and weather and climate scientists. But the rewards will be rich as having more flexible and portable systems will make them more usable and more efficient, freeing up scientists from having

are found to be slightly warmer than the northern and eastern areas. The dataset used is CRU TS4.01 which is at quite a low horizontal resolution of 0.5º. This means the grid boxes displayed in the map are quite big and the county only spans into four boxes. Although the maps are not very detailed

, with organised convection (i.e. thunderstorm activity) and winds at low levels circulating either anti-clockwise (in the northern hemisphere) or clockwise (in the southern hemisphere). The whole storm system may be five to six miles high and 300 to 400 miles wide, although sometimes can be even bigger

. The digital team are looking at how to present the ‘at a glance’ visuals on the App. The group were informed about the ‘big jump’ (improvement) in forecasting precipitation using the Blended Probabilistic Forecast. It was good to see that difference and that the Blended Probabilistic Forecast was delivering. The PWSCG agreed that D2.5a had been met.

of approximately 24.46 m. There will be a small communications cabin at the base of the staircase, and access stairs forming part of the tower structure. This compares to the Old Buckenham windmill which is 16.46m, 54ft (without the sails) and The Big Tower Tacolneston Transmitter, which is 147m
