learned previously, precipitation is water that falls to the ground and includes rain, snow and hail. Encourage the children to compare these two projections. • Prompt questions: In which scenario (high or low emissions) is there greater precipitation, meaning that it is wetter? Are there any

of raindrops. In turn, understanding more about their structure will help forecasters accurately pinpoint the difference between rain, hail and snow. And that means they can provide clearer and more accurate information about heavy rainfall – especially during high-impact weather. Clearing the way

The hot weather will continue across the UK, with heatwave conditions for many, creating ideal conditions for thunderstorms which will bring heavy rain and increasing risks from flash flooding, lightning and hail..

densities and fall speeds than snow. Graupel is typically smaller than hail and forms when supercooled water coats a snowflake. Subsequent testing has shown that the UKCP Local (2.2km) projections (including for temperature, precipitation and wind) can still provide important information for many

the area of the sample, and a funnel that channels the collected rain into a measuring mechanism or into a reservoir where it may be measured at a later time. As the name implies, rain gauges measure rain not snow, hail or other forms of frozen precipitation. The entrance to the gauge through

gauges measure rain not snow, hail or other forms of frozen precipitation. The entrance to the gauge through the funnel is narrow to avoid debris clogging the mechanism and undesirable evaporation in hot weather. However, the gauge rapidly becomes blocked in snow and any readings at the time

these platforms falls into the remit of the NMHSs while other methods will be implemented by DRR organisations or assigned community mobilisers, for example: The coloured-flag warning system; Using loud hailers; and Issuing information at public gathering places, including ‘shebeens’, churches, clinics etc

(and proxies) for hail, lightning, wind storms, fire weather, etc. • Focus on data sets of extremes for the UK (both climate extremes and high impact weather events) and UK-responsibility observations back to 1800 and stimulate and coordinate rescue of historical data to improve such data sets • Develop new

commented, “There is still limited understanding in the link between the evolution of ice crystals and soft hail with observed lightning flash counts. Additionally, evaluating the accuracy of atmospheric models for predicting lightning in different weather conditions also needs attention. The new tool under
