: “Into the weekend snow will continue across much of Scotland, and is likely to increasingly fall to low levels before beginning to move south into northern and eastern England. Strong winds “We are likely to see some very large accumulations across higher parts of Scotland especially, with strong winds leading

, very small errors in its initial state can lead to large errors in the forecast. This means that we can never create a perfect forecast system because we can never observe every detail of the atmosphere's initial state. Tiny errors in the initial state will be amplified, so there is always a limit

of the developing storm in different members of the ECMWF ensemble forecast. This indicated a very high confidence that the storm would track over northern Britain during the evening of 31 December. Further analysis also showed a high probability of very strong winds associated with this storm

that collapse over the next 75 years is unlikely, the AMOC is very likely to weaken, which will present climate challenges for Europe and beyond.” Professor Watson, of the University of Exeter adds: “So the AMOC is not only controlled by conditions in the North Atlantic, but also what's happening at the other

Although ice loss was quite slow early and late in the season, ice loss was very fast during the second half of July, possibly in association with southerly winds and storms in the Siberian coastal seas. Predictions of September ice extent this year as submitted to the Sea

pattern of below-average Antarctic ice anomalies was very different in 2025 to the record low year of 2023, and this can mainly be traced to different patterns of atmospheric circulation. A persistent strong Amundsen Sea Low drove a large part of this year’s low September extent   Arctic Sea ice extent
