under a high emissions scenario. • By 2050, there will be more breeding opportunities due to a longer spawning season at Thanet, warmer waters year-round meaning greater survival of juvenile oysters at both sites with the greatest rise in spawning days seen at Strangford Lough. • By 2050 sea

, temperatures will vary significantly across the country. Coastal areas along the North Sea will remain rather cool, while central and western parts, including Wales, western England, and central Scotland, will enjoy the warmest conditions, with highs reaching the upper teens Celsius, and possibly

for the majority of major Atlantic storms, being westerly. The chart below shows hourly mean sea level pressure at Inverbervie (Kincardineshire), Boulmer (Northumberland) and Loftus (North Yorkshire) – all located in the red warning area. The chart shows the rapid fall and rise in pressure associated

Temperatures across the UK will continue to rise today, with the highest temperatures forecast on Saturday when 34°C could be reached in eastern England.

and unaffected, scattered thunderstorms may develop during Saturday afternoon, lasting through the evening hours, moving northeastwards before eventually clearing to the North Sea by the early hours of Sunday. The most intense thunderstorms could produce frequent lightning, large hail and gusty

Last year saw the fastest annual rise in atmospheric CO₂ concentration in the long-running record of measurements at Mauna Loa, Hawaii, which started in 1958. The measured rise of 3.58 parts per million (ppm) exceeded the Met Office’s prediction of 2.84 ± 0.54 ppm. Satellite measurements also

. Another type of rain is Orographic rain which is produced in response to the topography of the land. As an air mass blows from the sea over hilly land the damp air rises and condenses. Above the orographic cloud is a rain cloud that forms over the sea and is called a seeder cloud. Rain from this cloud

? The phrase ‘El Niño’ refers to a change in sea surface temperatures across the Tropical Pacific Ocean, linked to a weakening of the usual easterly trade winds. In a non-El Niño year, strong trade winds blowing from east to west maintain a temperature gradient across the Pacific Ocean, with warmer

, but always the risk of one or two thunderstorms, perhaps northern England into eastern and southeastern parts of Scotland being at a higher risk, but they could pop up almost anywhere, particularly later on in the day. And in that sunshine, that strong sunshine, high UV levels, temperatures will really rise

anywhere, particularly later on in the day. And in that sunshine, that strong sunshine, high UV levels, temperatures will really rise. “We're looking at highs around 33°C across central and central southern parts of the UK. Cooler around the coasts at the mid locally high 20s and across the far northwest

, despite the clear long-term warming trend. For this reason, looking at temperatures in one particular year is not a perfect indicator of how our climate has changed. The Paris Agreement pledged to keep “global temperature rise this century well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue
