are expected to be much more nuanced than can be conveyed in just six words.   This nuance continues to be well researched by scientists and there has been recent work aiming to convey this complexity in ways which are relatable to the British public. Some examples of this include work by scientists at the Met

It is important to note that the forecast relates to outside air temperature, which means that it cannot be used to determine road temperatures and temperatures inside buildings. 15 7 Visible Satellite What is this?

differences, such as the variation in temperature between coastal and inland areas. The data may also be useful in assessing how persistent a period of hot or cold weather is likely to be. It is important to note that the forecast relates to outside air temperature, which means that it cannot be used

over the next 10 years. This enhanced capability will help the Met Office to provide more accurate forecast products and services that will help enable successful delivery of the proposed NR23 service and developments. The meeting sought clarification on a number of questions relating to the new
