chart at 1200UTC 28 January 2024 shows the UK in a south-westerly flow, located in the ‘warm sector’ between warm and cold fronts, with an associated low pressure centre over Iceland. Typically, a warm sector would be associated with low cloud and patchy light rain. The visible satellite image

this afternoon, and if it does it may well settle for a time. As skies clear tonight many may see ice on untreated surfaces particularly in the east, south east and Midlands. The risk of snow continues tomorrow (Friday) particularly for eastern and western coastal areas, Northern Ireland and northern Scotland

These warnings highlight the potential for travel disruption, difficult driving conditions, and possible impacts to outdoor plans. A developing area of low pressure will move across southern and central parts of the UK tomorrow, bringing bands of heavy rain and gusty winds, particularly across

double those amounts, up to 10 cm. “As the rain and snow clears south, temperatures will fall quickly under the clear skies which could lead to ice forming on untreated surfaces.” Prospects of sunshine The forecast for Saturday suggests that high pressure will remain largely in charge

(the next lowest was 7.56 in 2011), 2.03 million square km below the 1981-2010 average, and 0.34 million square km below the long-term linear trend (Figure 3). Figure 3.

-2010 average extent indicated in orange, and the regions referred to in the text labelled. Underlying map and data courtesy of NSIDC. The recent fast rate of ice loss is associated with the predominance of very warm conditions in the Arctic from 20th June – 6th July (Figure 3a), with high pressure

Exceptionally wet weather, 21 to 23 May 2024 From 21 to 23 May, parts of England, southern and eastern Scotland and North Wales experienced exceptionally wet weather from a slow-moving weather front associated with an area of low pressure centred off the east coast of the UK. Over 50mm of rain fell

. This multi-hazard event brought a prolonged spell of damaging winds, as well as significant rain, and saw the first red warning issued since Storm Isha in January 2024. Following the storm, high pressure briefly settled over the UK, bringing calmer and colder conditions, particularly in Scotland
