associated with modified tropical weather patterns that make many land regions drier and reduce the ability of plants to grow and absorb CO2, temporarily reducing the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere. Along with other patterns of atmospheric variability, this has played a role in the recent hot

Low cloud and poor visibility may be very persistent under such conditions. • The record breaking temperatures of August 2003 were caused by a tropical continental air mass.

with many fluctuations. People’s impressions of spring may well be coloured by their personal weather memories, from coping with freezing conditions to enjoying a hot spell in April. Actually, it may well challenge perceptions to realise that the provisional average temperature for this spring is 8

Colder than average winters and summers will become less likely the further we go into the 21st century. A study that included an analysis of snow events found

Such a 'hotspot' causes enhanced volcanic activity in addition to that already occurring due to the spreading movement
