Kingdom (Manuscript received 30 November 2014, in final form 13 May 2015) ABSTRACT Simulations from a regional climate model (RCM) as part of a superensemble experiment were compared with observations of surface meteorological variables over the western United States. The RCM is the Hadley Centre

-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18, (4.3, 4.3 and 3.5°C above average respectively). Winter 2020-21 was characterised by persistent high pressure over Scandinavia, Western Siberia and the Barents and Kara Seas (Figure 5a), which drove circulation of mild air over much of the Arctic Ocean via Greenland

(Factsheet 13) 14. Microclimates A microclimate is the distinctive climate of a small-scale area, such as a garden, park, valley or part of a city. The weather variables in a microclimate, such as temperature, rainfall, wind or humidity, may be subtly different to the conditions prevailing over

It is a major paradigm change after over two decades of using the semi-subjective consensus approach

2.6) for the PPE-15 members of UKCP Global. Hotter, drier summers During summer (Figure 2), the results indicate an increase in the occurrence of weather patterns associated with dry and warmer conditions over the UK.  A selection of these patterns also shows an increase in their duration indicating

to the month, temperatures dropped, with the last two weeks of April cooler than average. A high-pressure system moved over the UK on the 20th, bringing some drier weather but cool temperatures to much of the UK. By the 25th, low pressure was back, and the showers increased. The cooler second half
