to avoid this world. Two interesting things have emerged from these workshops. First, people are often shocked when they discover the extent to which climate is expected to change in their area, and in a timeframe that’s highly relevant to their lives. And second, how difficult most people find reading

the 30s As we move through the week, temperatures are expected to rise steadily. By Thursday, many areas will see highs in the upper 20s. By Friday, we could see the first 30°C reading of the year in the UK. Looking ahead to the weekend: Saturday: Will see temperatures potentially peak at 33°C

the process to give a more direct comparison. The verification dataset is created by reading in GLM flashes for a 3-hour window, 1.5 hours either side of the valid time of the forecast. Flash data is then split into 12 15-minute “chunks” (to account for moving storms) and processed into a 2D histogram

in weather and climate science. This means that we need to work with experts in other fields, and deliver through partnership, building on the legacy of my predecessor. Before the Met Office I worked mainly in academia at the universities of Cambridge, Reading, and Stanford in California. My research

the UK can measure rainfall on an hourly basis. These record the amount of rainfall, in millimetres, in the hour before the time of the reading. The information is available at hourly intervals over the previous 24 hours. Fig 9: Rainfall accumulation image showing hourly rainfall accumulation across

the event which highlighted the need for greater community resilience so people are prepared for such short notice events. The challenge of predicting such localised, short, sharp convective events is recognised. This was evident in the rainfall readings local to Coverack where to the north a gauge

Gauge Precipitation Accumulation What is this? A network of rainfall gauges around the UK can measure rainfall on an hourly basis. These record the amount of rainfall, in millimetres, in the hour before the time of the reading. The information is available at hourly intervals over the previous 24 hours

the meteorologists to the end users. He however, noted that the challenge the media faces is that many people are not interested in reading, listening or watching news on weather and climate unless there is a disaster. He suggested that radios and televisions should have special programs for climate information
