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

. Biases in the temperature on hot summer days (defined as the 99th percentile of the distribution of daily mean summer temperatures) are shown in Figure 21. RCM-MPI is similar to RCM-STD (with a slightly smaller overall bias), with hot summer days being significantly too cold in Scotland. The other three

for Sunday Sunday will see areas of low cloud across some central and eastern regions during the morning, but this will gradually clear to leave plenty of sunshine for most. The Northern Isles may remain rather grey throughout the day. Temperatures will again be very warm, locally hot in central

and eastern Scotland in particular.” Next week's weather While the start of next week will likely see a mixture of sunshine and showers, there’s a possibility of hotter weather to come at times next week, especially in the south, though there’s still a large degree of uncertainty and much to be determined

locally hot conditions, marking a notable shift from the cooler start to the week. Met Office presenter and meteorologist, Aidan McGivern, said: “We start off Tuesday with plenty of sunshine, but there will be further showers for a time at least through the morning and early afternoon across the east

few days. Honor said: “What’s really interesting is actually where our air is coming from. We tend to talk about hot air coming from the south, a warm plume coming up from the south, perhaps all the way up from Africa creating heatwave conditions. But, what we’re actually seeing is something slightly

regions, one in 20-year extreme temperature events are projected to be hotter. Events that are considered extreme today will be more common in the future. Changes in temperature extremes even for short periods can be critical, especially if they coincide with key stages of crop development. Heavy
