, November continues 2022’s run of every month being warmer than average, with the first 11 months of the year the warmest on record for the UK.  Mike Kendon of the National Climate Information Centre said: “Although it’s too early to guarantee that 2022 will be the UK’s warmest year, the first 11 months

and almost zero in coupled simulations. (box 6) • Is the weak surface solar feedback closely related to the weak NSHF standard deviations? • Does the strong latent heat feedback generate strong zonal pressure gradients (Lindzen & Nigam 1987) and influence recharging of the warm water pool ? • Can
