It should first be highlighted that the observed number of tropical storms in a given year is, by definition, expected to lie within the 70% prediction interval approximately

Thus, for the emissions scenario considered, the recent temperature record does not provide strong evidence to distrust projected warming ranges from older generations of climate models

• Week ahead forecast: Mild in the south, colder in the north

  in the north High pressure will build across Greenland and Iceland, pushing weather fronts through and eventually bringing colder air to northern parts of the UK. By Wednesday, two weather fronts will lie across the country: one stalled over the north of Scotland and another lingering across

The main uncertainty lies not in whether high pressure will persist, but in exactly where it will be centred. This detail is crucial, as the position

• 10‑day trend: little sign of major change as the unsettled pattern continues

  shaping the current weather pattern is the position of the jet stream. At this time of year, it typically lies further north, but currently it sits well to the south of the UK and remains very active. This south‑shifted jet is funnelling continued wet weather into Iberia, where flooding from intense
