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

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

Incoming populations often have little alternative other than to settle in informal settlements that are very likely unplanned and lack basic

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

. The ‘UNSEEN’ approach We know that the atmosphere is a chaotic system – with the flap of a butterfly’s wings, very different weather outcomes can arise from near-identical starting conditions. One of the questions that follows is how the summer temperatures that we have witnessed over the years
