of atmospheric dust observations in the Met Office NWP system. Dr Peter Levens Peter currently works on the satellite-based (and ground-based) cloud products that are assimilated into the UK area model, UKV. Owen Lewis Owen works on the use of Ground-based Global Navigation Satellite System and Radio

, versions of that most famous of observations ‘Red Sky at Night’, which does have a sound basis in meteorology. The shepherd also accurately describes what we would now recognise as cumulonimbus clouds and the associated atmospheric conditions to be expected; ‘If the Clouds appear like Rocks or Towers

huge airships were ready to begin trials. R.100 successfully travelled from Cardington to Canada and back but despite a poor forecast R.101 took off for Karachi on 4 October 1930. After encountering strong winds, low cloud and heavy rain R.101 crashed and burst into flames near Beauvais in northern

fog patches at first. Cloud, outbreaks of rain and hill snow will spread to the northwest by the end of the day, and Friday will see a cloudy day in the south, with some sunshine further north, before the next band of cloud and rain arrives in the northwest later. Overall though, rainfall amounts

along eastern and southern coastal areas.  Temperatures will vary, with lower maxima across the south-west due to cloud and showers. Sunnier areas of central-southern and south-eastern England and western UK may reach 23-25°C.   Whilst the dry theme continues for most, showers are affecting

Temperatures could reach up to 34°C in London today with southern and central parts experiencing the last of the current hot spell and sunny skies. As a cold front sweeps across the UK overnight into Thursday there will be much more cloud and a fresher feel to the weather. Although notably hot

Over three hundred metres above the forest floor and the towering canopy of the Brazilian rainforest is reduced to a rolling green carpet far beneath my feet. Clouds sweep across the sky, casting shifting shadows over matchstick trees that stretch to the horizon. I’m standing at the top

The final day of July and the start of August bring a shift in the weather pattern across the UK Thursday will bring a rather unsettled start to the day across much of the UK, with widespread cloud and showery outbreaks of rain moving south-eastwards. As the day progresses, these will become more
