) telescope. This instrument allows us to monitor the Sun's very hot outer atmosphere (the corona), enabling us to see EUV photons that are created in the plasma of the corona but which are not visible from the ground due to absorption by the Earth's atmosphere. The image, taken on 8 December 2022

than have been observed in recent decades are possible in the Yangtze river basin.. Using this method, we calculate that, in any given year, there is currently a 6% risk of an unprecedented hot month in July or August, and a 1% risk of a month 0.8°C hotter than previously observed.

the heatwaves that occurred that summer. But 2025 had persistent warmth day and night through the summer with few notable cooler spells.  READ MORE: Summer 2025 is the warmest on record for the UK  How hot was summer 2025? Analysis of the UK’s climate records shows that every region experienced a warmer

at least 270 mm (10–11 inches) of insulation. Homes with 100 mm (4 inches) or less should have insulation topped up. If you have wall cavities, make sure they are insulated. Insulate your hot water cylinder and pipes. Draw curtains at dusk to help keep heat inside rooms. Make sure radiators

, this heat will be short-lived. A cold front is expected to move across the country Monday night into Tuesday, bringing cooler air from the Atlantic. The timing of this front is uncertain, some models suggest it may clear the heat quickly, while others hold it back, allowing one more hot day

supply, to transport and to food supply. Decisions on a range of timescales We don’t just care about the weather tomorrow, but we care about the weather next season, and the weather further into the future. We know climate change will bring hotter drier summers, and warmer wetter winters, and more

of malaria – and to better target malaria control measures. Introduction Ethiopia has a varied landscape, which gives rise to a diverse climate. Its central plateau ranges from 1,290 to 3,000 metres high and covers two-thirds of the country’s land area. By contrast, hot, humid lowlands cover part

heatwaves were driven by persistent high pressure, either centred over the UK or extending from the Azores, bringing dry, hot, and settled conditions. A dry spring left the ground parched, and a marine heatwave meant sea surface temperatures around the UK were well above average. These conditions combined

are also seeing increases in water vapour and the resulting humidity.  Researching exposure to high humidity and dry heat events  The distinction between humid heat and dry heat is a relatively new area of research. What we do know is that dry heat events can be much ‘hotter’ than humid heat events

and the potential then for high summer pollen counts. Conversely, very dry weather in spring suppresses pollen production in grasses, reducing the potential, and very hot and dry weather actually prevents grasses from growing at all. For tree pollen, the production occurs in the catkins in the previous
