Temperatures will be below average to end the working week with some showers too. Then after a slightly milder but also wet Saturday

. “What’s chiefly responsible for these thundery showers is that the UK is under the influence of low pressure, with daytime heating helping to develop unstable air which can be responsible for these bursts of heavy rain.” The unsettled theme is likely to continue on Wednesday, though the frequency

temperatures in some areas exceeded 30 °C, for which extreme heat warnings were issued. There were fatalities in water during the hot spell, and ambulance services reported extremely high demand. Northern Ireland Water witnessed extreme pressure on their network, which resulted in a burst main water pipe

Enrichment experiment. Debbie's personal science is currently focussed on understanding phenological changes (events in nature, such as the timing of bud-burst in different plant species) and their implications for ecosystem resilience under climate / environmental change. Current activities include: UK

bursts of heavy rain and coastal gusts of 60-70mph, mainly from Dorset eastwards. “Wind and rain warnings associated with Storm Ciarán are in force from Wednesday night onwards into Friday, with further updates possible on Wednesday. These include amber warning for winds for southwestern parts

forms shower clouds. A further factor that greatly affects the rainfall distribution is altitude. Moist air that is forced to ascend hills may be cooled to the dew point to produce cloud and rain. A map of average annual rainfall therefore looks similar to a topographic map. Much of Eastern Scotland

There was flooding in York; the River Ouse burst its banks but, thanks to Environment Agency flood warnings, property and land were able to be protected. There were also delays and flooded roads in Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire. England
