. Western areas in particular got the most consistently hot conditions, and Northern Ireland even broke its all-time temperature record with a figure of 31.3°C recorded at Castlederg on 21st *.   Both Scotland and Northern Ireland had average maximum temperatures for the month in their top 10 ever recorded

fire extent in three regions: Canada, western Amazonia, and Greece.   Fire weather - characterised by hot, dry conditions that promote fire - has shifted significantly in all three focal regions when compared to a world without climate change. Climate change made the extreme fire-prone weather

hot, dry desert regions, to cooler, wetter highland regions, and large variability in seasonal rainfall. The current climate is around 1-1.5˚C warmer than pre-industrial times, and there is high confidence of further warming in the future. There is less confidence about how rainfall has changed

in enough time for the PWSCG’s feedback to be incorporated into decision making. Summer 2018 Forecast Performance PAG was encouraged by the improvements seen in thunderstorm warning this summer. It recognised the very hot temperatures observed this summer were challenging for all models, but felt

persist in the sky for hours. Information released: Contrails are formed when hot aircraft exhaust emissions mix with cool, moist ambient air in the upper troposphere. Traditional forecasting methods for predicting the presence of contrails have used the tephigram, a tool for plotting the atmospheric

hotter and drier conditions leading to reduced carbon uptake. Nevertheless, the long-term change is driven by human emissions.” CO2 measurements at Mauna Loa are taken by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, and also independently by NOAA. The future scenario limiting warming to 1.5°C long-term is the SSP1.1-9 scenario.
