with snow, ice and gusty winds all featuring prominently in the forecast for the coming week. Upland areas, especially in the mountains, can see conditions change very rapidly and they may be markedly different from surrounding lowland areas.” Stay up to date with the Met Office forecast on social

. Reanalyses are very useful tools that provide globally complete representations of our climate by blending a weather forecast model with observations from weather stations, ships, buoys, radiosondes and satellites. However, they have issues of long-term stability because of the changing input data

, to independently compare their bottom-up emissions data reported to the UNFCCC with top-down methods. Currently very few countries (the UK, Switzerland, Australia and the USA) have this capability, however, as we seek to reduce GHG emissions and reach Net Zero, it will be important for nations
