it is considered very likely that the AMOC will weaken with human-induced climate change. This weakening would reduce the heat moved northwards, so Europe would experience less warming than if the AMOC didn’t weaken. This could reduce the impact of global warming in this region but may also cause other

and the challenge comes in.   Ridge lift is where a hillside or ridge gets in the way of the air, forcing it upwards. Gliding becomes sort of like surfing; you can beat up and down a ridge which can stretch for miles. You can fly pretty low compared to other types of lifts so it's a very different type

by scientists for some time now, and at the Met Office we are watching this wavenumber 5 pattern very closely to monitor if the pattern will persist into August. What of the role of climate change?  The extreme temperatures that we have been experiencing in the UK are unprecedented in recorded

. The chances of these limits being met everywhere are very small, so the global patterns shown in diagrams B and C are very unlikely to be realised.   Five-year mean forecast: mean, lower and upper estimates Figure 2:Forecast (A) of surface temperature differences (°C) relative to 1981-2010 for the 5-year

will be light to moderate, with a fresh breeze possible along eastern coasts. Temperatures will feel warm or very warm inland, though cooler conditions may persist near the coast. Temperatures in London are expected to peak at 22°C on Saturday and 21°C on Sunday, meaning fans will need to prepare for warm

of atmospheric constituents may vary rapidly with frequency and the geometrical arrangement of clouds is an important influence on the radiation budget. The modelling of atmospheric radiation is therefore potentially very complicated and must involve some  approximations to be efficient enough for weather

Depending upon your browser, you may need to view the files from a web server. The find-locations.js file uses a combined searching and sorting algorithm which is very fast compared to using separate steps. It can return the single closest site, ID and distance, or the n closest sites. Unzip

occasionally form at slightly lower altitudes provided that the temperature and humidity conditions are appropriate. In a very dry atmosphere, continued mixing between the contrail, which is very turbulent, and the environment can lead to the air becoming sub-saturated, resulting in the cloud

the clothes in your wardrobe, the number of trousers and t-shirts you have in there, year-on-year probably doesn’t change that much, as these prepare you for your climate. What you have in your wardrobe might be very different to what someone who lives in the Arctic has in theirs. That’s because

1891, while the Midlands provisionally recorded its wettest 3-day period on record. This rain came on top of very wet weather earlier in October with some central and eastern parts of England and Scotland recording more than twice the October whole-month average rainfall in the first three weeks
