• How accurate are our public forecasts?

  that grow as the forecast runs further into the future, and however good our observations, we can never know every detail of current conditions.

  ). - Plotting impact areas on the template maps in powerpoint is very time-consuming, especially for the nowcasting groups. Is there any other software to do this? The synoptic summary of regional drivers can be made more systematic by defining a set of standard plots which can be pre-loaded every morning

  HighResMIP saves 150 years from spinup (cheaper, so also more possible for higher resolution models) Historic SST trend patterns • As part of CMIP, we’re very interested in being able to reproduce the global surface temperature evolution between 1850-present • However, for impacts we need to know regional

• Heatwave breaks with thunderstorms

  Very hot conditions will continue across central, eastern and southeastern parts of the England until the end of the week, but the heat will trigger intense thunderstorms in some areas.

  into London and also around Bournemouth and Southampton.  Parts of the Midlands have also been very dry. The last day of very widespread rainfall for East Anglia and the south-east was 29 May. Hot weather often brings the risk of showers and thunderstorms and we are expecting of a scattering

• Prolonged Siberian heat attributed to climate change

  Attribution initiative: “This study shows again just how much of a game changer climate change is with respect to heatwaves. Given that heatwaves are by far the deadliest extreme weather events in most parts of the world they must be taken very seriously. As emissions continue to rise we need to think

  , KMD developed a product that delivered probabilities of rainfall amounts. The methods developed by the team proved their worth, as Willis explains. “Comparing the forecasted figures during the trial with the real figures after the trial period showed they were very close. That was very significant
