The first satellite in a series of six that will launch over the next fifteen years takes flight this week [13 August] as part of an international project to advance global observations to enhance weather forecast accuracy.

-term project of enhancing and replacing Metop First Generation, which is gradually coming offline over the next few years after around 15 years of service. A polar orbiter, Metop-SG A1 will get into position around 800km above the Earth and will complete one full orbit every 100 minutes, passing close

increasingly to snow on the higher summits in the early afternoon and then generally above 750m by late evening, with strong summit winds blizzard conditions are possible, especially over higher summits. The rain and snow becoming less persistent towards midnight. Chance of cloud-free hill tops above

The long-term trend of rising global mean surface temperature over the 20th and 21st centuries has been overlain with variability, including short periods of cooling or slower warming, and periods of more rapid warming. The most recent slowdown, in the early 2000s, attracted widespread media

. UKCIP98 and UKCIP02 were widely used not only in research but also by practitioners: for example, UK water companies have been considering the impact of climate change on water supplies for over 20 years. When UKCP09 brought a much more sophisticated approach to uncertainty, there was a ready-made

the atmosphere by tropical vegetation in response to weather conditions associated with the current La Niña event. If global warming is to be limited to 1.5°C, the atmospheric CO2 rise will need to be kept to this rate on average over the 2020s through a rapid reduction in global emissions
