of Private Secretary to the Chief Scientist, working in support of Prof. Dame Julia Slingo OBE FRS. Huw completed a PhD at the University of Leeds, investigating the dynamics of boundary layer flows over steep terrain. As part of his PhD work, Huw took part in a field campaign measuring wind and turbulence over a steep ridge in the Swiss Alps. As an undergraduate, Huw studied Physics with Meteorology at the University of Edinburgh.

page from Climatological returns. Most useful for Climatological returns can give a good indication of the weather for a specific location over a longer period of time. One volume of a climatological return can hold a much longer period of observations than the daily register so if you wanted

in metric units you will need to convert the data. There are various online tools which can help you to do this and conversion tables can also be provided from the National Meteorological Library and Archive by email. 1 Please note images are examples only.

or showers for some. The changeable theme is set to continue in the current UK weather forecast, with warnings for thunderstorms over the next few days, as well as a rise in temperatures for some. Here, we look at how some online headlines are reflecting the ongoing weather forecast. How much rain

verbatim quotes received from the survey, highlighting the different platforms people used to obtain weather forecasts. A targeted advertisement, to those in Scotland over the age of 55, was posted in Jan 2024 which included advice about how to keep warm. Achievements made over the past 12 months

The Unified Model (UM) [1] has been in operations at the Met Office since June 1991. It has also been used since 1997 for numerical weather prediction (NWP) at ICM, which is at the University of Warsaw. ICM runs the UM as a regional model centred over Poland, driven by initial and boundary

, and rainfall over agricultural regions. The regional impacts could be large but may be reduced via a range of adaptation options 6 . If a threshold is crossed, are the changes irreversible? Some forest loss would be irreversible, due to firevegetation and climate-vegetation feedbacks. It is possible

infrastructure under huge pressure. In this new study we look to see if the changes to our daily lives over the last 12 months have had an effect on the climate. On a global scale, the new study by Jones et al. (2021) (which is also the subject of a Research Spotlight in EOS) finds very little changes

cues like clouds. It's caused by strong wind shear (changes in wind velocity over short distances, including speed and direction) and is particularly hazardous because it's hard to detect and forecast.   Mountain Wave Turbulence (MWT) happens when stable air flows over mountain ranges, creating
