particularly in summer. Subsidence associated with high pressure reduces cloud cover and in spring and summer when the sea is cool relative to the air there is little convective cloud over the sea. Coastal areas are then favoured by high sunshine amounts. Inland and especially near hills, convective cloud o

. She has worked for her entire career on understanding climate processes and feedbacks, with a notable focus on cloud feedbacks and model development and evaluation. In 1997 she became the Manager of Climate sensitivity and then in 2003 the Head of Understanding Climate Change. External recognition

to the south east of England where 35°C is possible. Fresher air will move in from the west through the middle of the week, bringing an end to this heatwave. “It won’t be hot everywhere, with a marked difference in northwestern parts of the UK. Cloud and some heavy rain will affect Northern Ireland and western parts of Scotland through Monday and temperatures will be suppressed to the mid to high teens.”

. This involved an analysis of the diurnal cycle in clouds and water vapour, primarily using observations from the Meteosat-8 satellite. As an undergraduate, Ruth studied mathematics at the University of Bristol.

) at the University of Exeter in 2017. Anthony then went on to work as a postdoc on the National Environmental Research Council (NERC) funded project CLoud-Aerosol-Radiation Interactions and Forcing (CLARIFY-2016) at the University of Exeter from 2017 to 2019.

of the methods that have been used to measure, observe and record precipitation, temperature, wind, sunshine and clouds over time. A Citizen Science: Discover how observations from across the world have been used to forecast the weather for hundreds of years and how you can be involved today

Stefano’s research is focused on improving the assimilation of moisture-sensitive observations to increase the yield of satellite observations affected by cloud.

) skill. He carries out research to exploit cloud-affected satellite radiances and to develop practical methods to assimilate the ever-increasing amount of data from satellite sounders while preserving most of their information content. He is also managing the Next Generation – Data Assimilation (NG-DA

Wales and eastern England. Wednesday’s weather will see initial morning cloud reduce through the day, leaving a largely dry and sunny day for many, albeit with some isolated showers in western areas. Temperatures will continue to rise, possibly peaking at 27°C in central England. However, the warmer

a global view. What observations do we gather? The parameters we measure in observations include wind (speed, direction and gust strength), rainfall, temperature, cloud, visibility, sunshine and radiation, snow depth and atmospheric pressure. A range of instruments are used to take
