areas, sunny around the coasts; rain reached the north-west by evening. Most places had a mild wet morning on the 15th, but it turned much colder and showery later. It was generally cool and showery on the 16th, showers falling as rain in the south, but producing up to 10 cm of lying snow in places

freezing fog patches cleared, but sleet and snow showers affected some eastern coasts and it was milder and cloudier for the south-west. Malham Tarn (North Yorkshire) reported 16 cm of lying snow on the 23rd. 24th to 31st The 24th was cloudy for most, though with some brighter spells in the north-east

academic interests lie in polar science. His master's thesis focused on the development and analysis a new code for Southern Ocean Argo data, as part of a jointly funded project between European Research Council and National Oceanography Centre.

of sleet and snow is likely to develop across southern England and South Wales which could cause travel disruption into the evening. The impact of lying snow and ice on untreated surfaces may have an impact on Thursday morning travel.” ⚠️ The focus of the #snow then shifts further north on Thursday

and the values are close to the issued (deterministic) forecast, then we have higher confidence in the outcome. High Confidence Lower Confidence If the top of a box (75%) quartile, lies below an operational limit then we can be reasonably confident of not exceeding the limit (providing the issued

In the North Atlantic lies one of the world’s largest climate mechanisms: a system of currents transporting relatively warm water from the tropics to the poles, with return currents at depth transporting colder, denser water further south. The transport of heat to the North Atlantic keeps the UK’s

will happen with other records. We will bring more updates as we have them this week, and will be releasing the full May and Spring 2025 statistics on Monday 2 June.” How do we know when records are broken? The answer lies in a Met Office dataset that's been quietly mapping our weather history for around the last two centuries. 

frost, the 12th saw freezing fog over many areas, persisting all day in a few places, a cold and mainly cloudy day with showers around some coasts, temperatures at Wallington (Northumberland) struggling to -5.9 °C, and 9 cm of snow lying at Cambridge Botanic Garden and Buntingford (Hertfordshire

as graupel (soft small ice pellets that form in convective clouds). In turn, this affects some other variables (e.g. the amount of lying snow, which leads to colder winter temperatures, and hourly precipitation extremes) and leads to differences that are significant 1 . This error has now been fixed

Local projections, alongside other UKCP tools, for many applications. This document provides the guidance to help users understand how to best continue in their use of the model results. Fixing the graupel code error impacts winter temperature in some regions, due to more lying snow in the modified
