The new record was set in Cambridge at 15:37 on Thursday, beating the previous record of 36.7°C set in Heathrow in 2015 and coming close to the all-time UK temperature record of 38.5°C, recorded in Faversham in August 2003. Exceptionally high temperatures have gripped parts of Scotland and much

was a collaboration between Cambridge University and the Met Office (Julian Hunt and Paul Mason) on 'Modelling the Nocturnal Boundary Layer'. He used large-eddy simulation and theoretical analysis to develop and extend our understanding of the stably-stratified atmospheric boundary layer and its

Applications, and is now part of the Weather Impacts Science Group. Prior to joining the Met Office Helen obtained an MSc (distinction) in Applied Meteorology and Climatology from the University of Birmingham. Her undergraduate degree was in Geography, obtained at the University of Cambridge (St Catharine's College). Helen worked at the Royal Geographical Society for two years in between her undergraduate and post-graduate studies.

David joined the Met Office Hadley Centre in August 1993, after studying Maths at Cambridge University. David spent the first nine years working on detection and attribution of anthropogenic climate change. This period culminated in a PhD in 2001 on experimental design and statistical modelling

, Michael was a post-doctoral researcher at Cambridge University, where he initially studied global methane emissions and sinks, and then helped develop a lightweight ozone monitor based on a gas sensitive resistor. He completed a PhD in Atmospheric Chemistry at the University of York, where he also

of the Maths Tripos at the University of Cambridge in 1980, specialising in astrophysics and relativity theory, having previously graduated in Mathematics from the University of Southampton in 1979. External recognition Tim was jointly awarded the Norbert Gerbier-MUMM International Award by the two

(now Satellite and Surface Assimilation) team in 2007 after obtaining an MSc in Remote Sensing and Image Processing from Edinburgh University. Initially James worked on developing and improving algorithms to identify cloud-contaminated pixels in imagery from the MSG satellites. He has been working on the RTTOV model since 2010. As an undergraduate, James studied Maths at Cambridge University.
