are expected to rise again over the weekend. A deeper look at the meteorological drivers behind the change shows a strengthening jet stream, influenced by a sharp temperature gradient across North America, is helping to steer low pressure systems toward the UK. This will bring more unsettled weather

, aimed at stakeholders including the SPF ExCALIBUR Programme Board and Steering Committee, has been informed by consultation within the Met Office, with UKAEA, and with domain experts from the UKRI community. This Science Plan is intended to complement the ExCALIBUR activities that are funded

points to a more unsettled and variable period ahead, with a mix of rain, showers, and occasional dry spells. So, let's get into it.  A Shift in the Weather The jet stream, although not particularly strong for this time of year, is currently sweeping across the UK, steering a series of weather systems

the new climate projections out to 2100. This included the PRP providing a steer on a range of science questions to ensure the quality of the final products. Two UKCP18 user groups were also established to capture the requirements of government and non-government users. The Government User Group

. This particular system has become what meteorologists call a “blocking high”—a stationary pattern that prevents other weather systems from moving in. This blocking high has been reinforced by an amplified jet stream—a high-altitude current of fast-moving air that normally helps steer weather systems

, that fast-moving ribbon of air high in the atmosphere, is helping to steer these weather systems towards us. This week, the jet stream will play a key role in pushing areas of low pressure across the country, bringing spells of rain and strong winds, particularly to southern regions. On Tuesday, one area

. This will provide key information on the progress of the programme and will be a repository for key documentation for dissemination of the ExCALIBUR benefits and outcomes. International connections / the Exascale community The programme, supported by the ExCALIBUR Steering Committee, have made initial

multi-disciplinary knowledge by fostering cross-disciplinary links and expanding these across a broad community.
