rainfall processes across space and time scales This project involves the analysis of extreme rainfall processes, and model deficiencies in the representation of these, across space and time scales. A key aspect is developing a very high resolution (1.5 km) version of the Unified Model, over a region

Mike Silverstone is a Deputy Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office. He said: “Higher temperatures building over the weekend and into early next week will bring particularly warm, hot or even very hot conditions for some, especially in the southeast and East Anglia and more locally elsewhere

weather is expected – and, if you haven’t already done so, you should take action now to keep yourself and others safe from the impact of the severe weather. It is very likely that there will be a risk to life, with substantial disruption to travel, energy supplies and possibly widespread damage

in surface Doppler shift • Global mode analysis in terms of global resonant modes – Good for large scale structure and flows • Local seismology using – see next slides • Able to determine sound and flow speeds very well – E.g. solar rotation • Some sensitivity to density • Magnetic effects

cool … models are in amazing agreement, so that's nice. Data volumes Whilst our models are better and we have a lot of decision aids, that doesn't mean to say making warnings is actually easier because we have a huge amount of data to look at. Considerations Lead time There is a danger by going very

partners have come together to provide the very best advice and guidance to help everyone to make the most of whatever the summer weather brings and to stay safe and well.   Whether you’re planning a big day out or have spotted an ominous forecast, check out our WeatherReady page for advice on preparing

developments to the convection and microphysics parametrizations in the Met Office model (arguably the two parametrizations there is most sensitivity to). • Development of single, seamless, cloud fraction and aerosol schemes are also very significant pieces of work which are essential for unifying our

a new record for two consecutive rain-days (0900 - 0900 GMT). Impacts The severe flooding which resulted was exacerbated by the already very wet ground conditions, partly as a result of Storm Desmond. Many parts of north-west Britain had already recorded more than twice the monthly average rainfall

rate. Natural population growth and huge numbers of people migrating from rural communities to towns and cities are putting tremendous pressure on urban spaces. Incoming populations often have little alternative other than to settle in informal settlements that are very likely unplanned and lack basic

from the Met Office National Climate Information Centre explains: “If we look back at the start of March in 2021, the maximum temperatures for the UK were very similar to the values we’ve seen at the start of March 2023. The graphs below show in blue how temperatures have been below average
