We will bring more updates as we have them this week, and will be releasing the full May and Spring 2025 statistics on Monday 2 June.” How do we know when records are broken? The answer lies in a Met Office dataset that's been quietly mapping our weather history for around the last two centuries.

Either leave the row blank, or use a specific value to indicate data is missing (please tell us in your email what this value
conventional methods for many years to come. What we’ve done so far is fairly simple. We’re only predicting temperature at 850 hPa, so that’s about 1 mile above the surface, and geopotential at 500 hPa, which represents the horizontal wind a few miles up. Doing that skilfully is great, but it’s still

a weather app End user profiles cards Meteorologist (Weather forecaster) Meteorologists use different scientific techniques to understand and predict how the weather will be in the future. Meteorologists need to interpret weather data accurately in order to do their job well and make sure people are given
Flood Alerts have already been issued, and localised Flood Warnings will be issued over the next few days as rivers respond. However, it is important to note that not all areas that could be affected have Flood Warning schemes, so please do take a Flood Alert in your area as advance notice that you

land stations, they form the basis of estimates of global temperature. Given the importance accorded to temperature change since the pre-industrial period it is important to understand how reliable SST measurements are. How was sea-surface temperature measured and why does it matter? Historically
