The Met Office, in collaboration with the National Oceanography Centre, have produced a new climate monitoring dataset for surface humidity over oceans. The dataset is called HadISDH.marine which stands for the Met Office Hadley Centre Intergrated Surface Dataset of Humidity for the marine

point is Ben Macdui (1309 metres) near the border of Grampian with Highland. Temperature Mean annual temperatures over the region vary from about 9 °C close to the Firth of Forth to less than 6 °C over the higher ground of the Grampians. Elsewhere in the UK, mean annual temperatures reach over 11 °C

of the region. Regional rainfall distribution appears, up to a large extent, to be controlled by local drivers which may be not well resolved in general circulation model simulations. We investigate the performance over the Lake Victoria basin of an ensemble of UK Met Office Hadley Centre regional climate

, while mean minimum temperatures were mostly between 1.0 and 1.5 °C below, but nearer 2 °C below in Northern Ireland. Rainfall was 110% of average, and some places, notably Devon, the Midlands and some eastern coastal counties, had over twice the normal amount, but in contrast Cumbria and north

Over a long enough period, the pattern of that weather defines a climate. Climate describes the range of weather

, with tributaries such as the Wharfe, Aire, Nidd and Don. These all have their sources in the Pennines, a chain of rolling gritstone moors rising to well over 600 metres and reaching their highest point at Cross Fell (893 metres). The Pennines form a natural barrier to east-west communications

. Maximum temperatures were over a degree above normal in eastern areas, while minima were just below average in parts of the south. Rainfall was below average in many areas, especially on the eastern side, with 69% of average. Sunshine was broadly above normal, again with the east faring best, giving

the UK and Ireland over the coming days, passing to the north of Scotland on Saturday. National Severe Weather Warnings for wind and rain have been issued for many parts of the UK this weekend, including amber warnings for rain in south west England, southern Wales, north west England and south east

, the Pennines are a chain of rolling gritstone moors rising to well over 600 metres and reaching their highest point at Cross Fell (893 metres). The Pennines form a natural barrier to east-west communications, but there are the Tyne gap linking Carlisle and Newcastle and the Aire gap linking Lancashire
