For example, in London the bulk of the CH 4 emission source mix can be tracked as it varies diurnally and seasonally, from ‘light’ dominant biological emissions on warm

Low cloud, mist and fog early on the 31st soon burned away, then it was generally sunny and very warm, Northolt (Greater London) recording a maximum of 24.8 °C and Morecambe (Lancashire) getting 15.9 hours of bright sunshine.

Most parts of the UK saw less rainfall than average, substantially so for some areas, with less than 20% of normal for London and much of southern England. The only area with more rainfall than average was the far

) values are around Greater London due in part to the urban heat-island effect. Despite 2014 being the warmest year in the UK series from 1910, cooling degree days were below average across much of central England by around 5 CDD compared to a 1981-2010 long-term average of around 15 to 20 CDD (Figure 13

Warning Service, combined with the support from its PWS advisors, helps the emergency services and other Cat 1 responders to make critical decisions on the resourcing capabilities of their teams. • The use of WAFC London, UK TAF and Sigmet data, all provided by the Met Office, allow pilots to divert
