It will stay unsettled and, at times very windy, over the coming days. This unsettled period peaks with Storm Ciarán, which crosses southern UK on Thursday.

of England and Wales Thursday early hours and morning and the far south and southeast of England Thursday daytime and early evening. Storm Ciarán is expected to bring very strong along southern coastal areas of England in particular where gusts of 70 to 80mph are possible, gusts perhaps exceeding 85 mph

on record for Scotland and the fifth mildest winter for Northern Ireland. The UK as a whole has seen the ninth mildest winter on record. Interestingly the winters of 2013/14 and 2015/16 were both milder than this winter; however the key difference is that those winters were also very wet and often

The UK will be affected by a series of low-pressure systems through the second half of the week and into the weekend, bringing very wet and windy weather for some.

Meteorologist at the Met Office and said: “While there is still uncertainty about the track and depth of the low pressure, Friday night and Saturday will be wet and very windy across parts of the UK. “Some model solutions have the low pressure further north and much deeper, bringing very strong winds

. Winter as a whole was colder and wetter than average Spring 2021 A notably dry and very sunny April, the sunniest April on record for the UK, with the most air frosts for at least 60 years. The wettest May on record in Wales, fifth wettest for England and fourth wettest for the UK overall

sunny intervals. Later in the day, it will turn fresher and more showery across the north. Winds will be moderate to fresh, becoming strong in the north and along exposed coasts. Temperatures will be near normal for most, though parts of the south and east may remain warm or very warm, with highs

is lightning and how does the Met Office monitor it? Temperatures will be widely warm to very warm, with highs of 21–24°C inland and in sheltered areas. Parts of northern England and areas further south could see 25–26°C, with an isolated 27°C possible. Southern coastal areas may remain cooler

since then and it is possible that a higher value will be recorded before seasonal melt commences (Figure 4). Prior to this year, the lowest maximum Antarctic sea ice extent on record was recorded in 2023, at 16.96 million sq km, this being a very long way below the next lowest maximum of 17.88

that this could be used around the clock with immediate effect.” Energising Dr Hort added: “For me this rapid evolution and high-pressure environment was highly motivating and energising while also being very challenging; in many ways it has motivated me ever since to focus on how science is communicated

Early winter storms, late 2011 On 8 December 2011, a deep Atlantic low pressure system brought very strong winds across the northern half of the UK. Scotland bore the brunt of the storm, with winds gusting 60 to 70 knots (69 to 81 mph) and reaching well over 70 knots (81 mph) in exposed coastal
