• Dartmoor Gliding Society - Ed Borlase

  Ed Borlase is a Bronze level Glider operator in Devon, and part of the Dartmoor Gliding Society. Here he tells us the crucial role the weather, weather forecasts and data play in being able to fly safely.

  the ground, which in turn heats the air above, and this warm air then rises. As it rises, it cools and expands, forming clouds when the air has cooled to the dew point and the moisture (if present) condenses. These ‘fair weather clouds’, with flat bottoms and fluffy white tops form a clear marker

• Researchers point the way to managing climate change risks

  into those climate events which are considered less likely to happen, but if they did could unleash even greater impacts. Climate scientists refer to these as ‘High-Impact Low-Likelihood’ events; or HILL events for short. Examples of these events include levels of warming or rainfall changes

  by a mainly cloudy picture with isolated showers. It was warm in the south-east with Writtle (Essex) recording a maximum of 19.1 °C. Another belt of rain moved southwards through the country on the morning of the 9th, followed by brighter weather with widespread, locally thundery, showers. Further rain moved

  , which when burnt produce carbon dioxide. Global warming - a rise in the Earth’s temperature, often used with respect to the observed increase since the early 20th century. Greenhouse gases - gases in the atmosphere, which absorb thermal infra-red radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface

  are not just interested in the surface temperature of the lake. They also want to know about the temperature gradient beneath the surface. A warm current below the surface of the lake sometimes causes fish to rot in the nets before they can be harvested. Nile perch fishermen hang their drift nets

  by coalescence and condensation in a warm sub-tropical boundary layer. These clouds are associated with drizzle showers with larger drops than the surrounding stratocumulus but with low rates of precipitation reaching the ground, often less than 1 mm per hour. The image shows small scale bands of low

  , the observed world represents a more limited sample (53 years of HadUK-Grid compared to a HadGEM3-A model ensemble of 525 members for 7 years), so the model will have a greater number of these extreme events. Secondly, the current (2023) climate is warmer than any previous time in the observational

• Dry February so far for most

  has had just 1.6mm of rain since 15th January and for many counties of central and southern England the period from mid January to now has been a notable, but not record breaking, winter dry spell.   Mark McCarthy is the manager of the National Climate Information Centre at the Met Office. He said
