was due to an ‘atmospheric river’ – a narrow stream of moisture laden air capable of causing very high rainfall totals. This was the wettest 2-day period on record for Scotland in a series from 1891. The front causing the rainfall marked the contrast between cold air to the north and much warmer

. England recorded its second sunniest spring on record, with only 2020 sunnier. Now, seven of the UK's ten sunniest springs having occurred since 2000.   Very low rainfall  This combination of heat and sunshine, coupled with very low rainfall, has created challenging conditions across much

when we go out of the door to the playground or out of our home. The weather changes every day in the UK, where we live. Knowing what the weather is going to be like when we go outside is very important when planning activities. We need to make sure we wear the right clothes and keep safe. Time

amount very widely.   The Met Office’s Mike Kendon continued: “The UK’s observations clearly show winters are getting warmer, and they are also getting wetter since as the atmosphere heats up, it has an increased capacity to hold moisture. The top-ten warmest winters on record for the UK include 2024

the even the most powerful GCMs can resolve. These smaller processes must be mathematically approximated, using a technique known as parameterisation, instead. � The climate system is very complex and contains multiple processes that act at different spatial and time scales. The relative importance

and use of climate information is very important. Feedback loops are an important aspect for services, and a regional climate forum could provide such a platform for enhancing communication and common understanding between providers and users. The idea of establishing a regional climate forum

is temperature’, so be prepared to challenge the answer ‘how hot or cold something is’ as we want to encourage students to link temperature to how much energy a substance has. We also very briefly touch on how you measure temperature, but you can check out these links for more detailed background
