, all being generally drier than average. The autumn months were wetter than average, although this was not enough to fully offset the deficit from the previous eight months. It was a sunnier than average year for most areas, especially eastern England, with only some northern and western fringes

, i.e. v2018 and v2022 or the “original” and “new”. We have also included three scientific improvements to the methodology that improve the utility of the data. These are: • The statistical treatment of precipitation to avoid physically implausible values and improve the projections of dry- and wet

After a hot and dry June, July followed up with a wet and slightly cool month for many as low pressure brought frequent periods of winds and rain. Northern Ireland saw more than double its average rainfall for the month, with 185.4mm (207% of its long-term average) the provisional figure

of work which showed a role for Tropical Atlantic forcing in the very wet winters of 2013-14 and 2015-16. Jeff has a personal interest in North Atlantic Ocean variability. Furthering understanding of the model mechanisms that lead to such variability on a range of timescales will help improve

and brings heavy rainfall to the region. Around 80% of the annual rainfall in India falls during the monsoon season and many industries such as agriculture rely on this water. Heavy summer monsoons can also cause flooding making it an important weather event to understand. Around the world, severe

Storm Éowyn. Met Office Scientist Emily Carlisle said: “This winter has seen a typical mix of UK winter weather conditions, with a mix of wet and windy, but also cold and calm conditions. This has resulted in a season where no significant climate records have been broken, but the statistics do mask
