. After a widespread frost, the 3rd was cold with persistent rain and hill snow in the north and south-west, with 13 cm of lying snow at Warcop Range and a maximum of only 3.1 °C at Spadeadam (both Cumbria). Snow briefly extended to low levels locally in the north, while elsewhere there were showers

and generally cloudy, although it was generally less cold a er the 5th, and there was a fair amount of dry sunny weather in northern Scotland. There was a brief but very marked hot spell from the 18th to the 21st which produced the highest temperatures in April since 1949. Progressively cooler, unsettled

cloud on the 6th and 7th. The 10th was cloudier inland with isolated showers but remained sunny near the west coast. 11th to 15th The 11th was mostly bright and warm but with some isolated showers, which briefly became more widespread. It was mostly cloudy on the 12th with scattered thundery showers

, especially from the 22nd to 26th, with warm days and cool nights. A brief northerly outbreak on the 28th and 29th brought some wintry showers to central and eastern areas. The mean temperature for March was provisionally 0.2 °C above the 1981-2010 long-term average, and it was generally warmer than

by brighter weather with showers, the showers briefly heavy and thundery in the far north-west during the afternoon. A ridge of high pressure brought a mostly dry bright day on the 15th, but another depression brought dull, wet weather on the 16th with persistent and locally heavy rain. From the 17th

weather The UK provisionally recorded its sixth wettest July on record, with a succession of low pressure systems bringing unseasonably wet and windy conditions. While August has started fairly unsettled for many, Thursday (10 August) provided a brief glimpse of warmer weather for many. The 28.4°C

it forced at its boundaries with global operational analysis to reproduce the weather of a given month as closely as possible. It is run twice: once with observed satellite Sea Surface Temperatures (ATMostia) and once with 1982-2012 mean climatological SSTs (ATMclim). The difference between the two

, they provide bolder probabilities and therefore potentially richer information for users. The project is also introducing training for national meteorological services to digitise and assess past forecasts. “Once you’ve digitised previous forecasts, you can compare with observations and assess

that this could occur about once in every 250 winters.” Professor Scaife added, “Although this is very rare, we also found that the chance of multiple SSW events is increased during El Niño and so the chance of multiple events this winter is raised.” Forecast pressure for mid-March showing relatively high

cloud until midday. Do you really have to go at 0800UTC? Consider the duration of your flight, weather improvement times and the length of remaining daylight and good conditions. The flight should only be started once you are confident that en-route conditions are safe, and you should make regular
