? There have been significant impacts from high temperatures over the past century, with many lessons learnt to minimise these effects. In 1911 when temperatures reached 36.7°C, around 4,000 people died in London alone during the heatwave period. Droughts impacted water supplies, lack of grazing

These factsheets clearly describe and illustrate the processes involved in global weather and climate, providing the most up-to-date answers and information. 1. Clouds The current classification of clouds is based upon those originated by Luke Howard (1772-1864), a London pharmacist and amateur

was near average in some western areas, but well above average further east, with over 200% of normal for London and the south-east and also parts of Aberdeenshire and Moray. Sunshine was particularly low for much of England and Wales, with only the south of Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man

daily temperatures and summer maximum daily temperatures through the 21 st century for Exeter, under RCP8.5 compared to a baseline period of 1981-2000. For summer rainfall in four of the seven cities (London, Exeter, Bristol and Kirklees), the v2022 projections show reduced drying compared to v2018

a process of model testing and development. Most global and regional climate models do not adequately represent urban processes due to their coarse horizontal scale. For example, at a resolution of 25 km, a city the size of London only covers two model grid boxes. This limits the ability to understand

A minimum temperature of -0.6 °C was recorded at Kinbrace (Sutherland) on the 8th. In the 24 hours ending at 0900 GMT on the 4th
