Ireland.  "Even though the process of selecting the names was a fun and light-hearted task, ultimately, advising the public of the importance of being prepared for the upcoming storm season, and communicating safety messages for every forecast storm are our highest priorities. At the start

will slowly move eastward across Northern Ireland and into parts of western Scotland, with some heavy rain expected at times. The far southwest may also see a little light rain or drizzle. Elsewhere, clear spells will dominate, but fog patches may develop in parts of the south and west. Larger areas

On Wednesday, low cloud and areas of patchy light rain or drizzle will linger across central and southern England and Wales, gradually clearing southwards as the day progresses. Northern and western Scotland will be windy and cloudy, with outbreaks of rain and drizzle becoming more persistent

occur high in the atmosphere, typically between 80 and 300 kilometres above the Earth’s surface. To see them, clear, dark skies are essential. Even thin cloud can obscure the subtle colours and movements of the aurora, while thick cloud makes sightings impossible. Light pollution from urban areas

in a number of different ways including from satellite data, by radar and by LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). The Met Office uses an instrument called LiDAR to measure ash clouds. LiDAR works by sending pulses of laser light through the atmosphere, which is scattered by volcanic ash particles. Some

are consistent with ENSO-neutral conditions. ENSO-neutral remains most likely early in this period. However, through autumn the likelihood of La Niña developing increases. By late autumn (October-November-December period), NOAA Climate Prediction Centre gives a 50- 60 % chance of a short-lived La Niña

hold in the August to October period (51% likelihood in NOAA forecast). While forecasts looking this far ahead are inherently uncertain, particularly when issued at this time of year, there is a consistent message emerging from many international modelling centres. Much More Likely Below Normal Near
