Enrichment experiment. Debbie's personal science is currently focussed on understanding phenological changes (events in nature, such as the timing of bud-burst in different plant species) and their implications for ecosystem resilience under climate / environmental change. Current activities include: UK

bursts of heavy rain and coastal gusts of 60-70mph, mainly from Dorset eastwards. “Wind and rain warnings associated with Storm Ciarán are in force from Wednesday night onwards into Friday, with further updates possible on Wednesday. These include amber warning for winds for southwestern parts

affected all of Wales and western/northern areas of England. There was flooding in York; the River Ouse burst its banks but, thanks to Environment Agency flood warnings, property and land were able to be protected. There were also delays and flooded roads in Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire. England

forms shower clouds. A further factor that greatly affects the rainfall distribution is altitude. Moist air that is forced to ascend hills may be cooled to the dew point to produce cloud and rain. A map of average annual rainfall therefore looks similar to a topographic map. Much of Eastern Scotland

compare with values of less than 1100 hours a year in the Shetland Islands to over 1750 hours along the south coast of England and over 1900 hours in the Channel Islands. The tendency for convective cloud to develop over inland areas in summer leads to sunshine averages that are lower than coastal

than 48 hours. Problems with burst water pipes may have been caused by the unusual longevity of the freezing temperatures.

(11 days) earlier than if no human-induced climate change or urban warming had happened. Last year was the earliest full flowering date in the 1,200 year Kyoto record, with the cherry blossom bursting into colour by 26 March 2021. This year’s full flowering date was declared on 1 April 2022

and Chippenham town centre and the River Avon burst its banks in Bradford-on- Avon, Wiltshire. A major incident was declared in Northamptonshire when a holiday park was inundated from the River Nene.

can cut off the water supply in case of a burst pipe. Derrick Ryall, Associate Director of Public Weather Services at the Met Office, said:  “With winter around the corner, now is the time to think about preparing for the potential impacts of severe weather.  The Met Office WeatherReady initiative
