platforms used in LIAISE The LIAISE study region offers the opportunity to study semi-arid meteorology in an area that has two clearly defined zones; one that is irrigated and one that is naturally rain fed, but very dry during the summer months. Observations include meteorological parameters

, Suffolk, Lancashire, Cheshire, Merseyside and West Yorkshire recorded their highest December gusts since a major winter storm on 5 December 2013.

Sunshine was 100% of average, and amounts
