minimum temperature was 22.3°C at Langdon Bay (Kent) on 8th (0900UTC 7th to 0900UTC 8th); while London St James’s Park also recorded a minimum of 22.0°C on 12th. The ‘patchy’ nature of these maps reflects the influence of individual station exposure – particularly the local topography – on minimum

Underpinning science The climate system consists of four basic elements - atmosphere, ocean, land and cryosphere (land ice and sea ice). Each has its own physical characteristics in terms of thermal capacity, energy balance and hydrological balance. Most importantly, the atmosphere and oceans

the level of actual rainfall received in the whole region to 21.0mm – only the eighth driest on record. Dr Mark McCarthy, Manager of the Met Office National Climate Information Centre, said: “The UK experienced its hottest ever May this year, and its second hottest June. For a large part of July

With emissions already at a record high, the build-up of carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere will be larger than last year due to a slower removal by natural carbon sinks.

During 2019 Met Office climate scientists expect to see one of the largest rises in atmospheric carbon-dioxide concentration in 62 years of measurements.  The Met Office  CO₂ forecast is based on a combination of factors including rising anthropogenic emissions and a relative reduction

average, making this the sixth warmest autumn on record in the series from 1884, although autumn 2022 (ranked 3rd) and 2021 (ranked equal-fourth) were both slightly warmer. The climate district of south-west England and South Wales had its warmest autumn on record (marginally ahead of 2011 and 2006

. An important part of their investigations was to make a detailed record of the weather and climate and to this end Scott appointed a team of meteorologists led by George Simpson, nicknamed 'Sunny Jim' because of his resemblance to the character on 'Force' cereal packets. Whilst the main party was based

.     This will continue the rising trend in CO2 seen in the long-term record of measurements from the Mauna Loa observatory in Hawaii that date back to 1958 and are a good guide to global CO2 levels. However, the rise from 2021 to 2022 will be smaller than the average annual rises over recent years
