Met Office Chief Meteorologist Neil Armstrong said; “There is likely to be surface-water flooding in places and driving may be difficult because of the spray on roads. Bus and train services could be affected, and there is an increased risk that homes and businesses could flood. “A weather front

similar to (within 0.10 million sq km of) the 2nd to 6th lowest June extents (2012, 2020, 2018, 2019 and 2010 respectively). Only the June extent of 2016 was considerably lower at 10.58 million sq km. Figure 3. Average June Arctic sea ice extent according to the Hadley Centre Sea Ice and Sea Surface

wind speeds, minimum sea-level pressures and maximum rainfall rates 5 . There are four stages in this process: 1. Calculate vorticity fields for different pressure levels throughout the atmosphere. 2. Identify tracks of near-surface atmospheric vortices. 3. Disregard storms that do not have warm cores

extents well above the long-term trend. One likely cause of the more severe sea ice melt seen this year is the Arctic Dipole weather pattern observed during July, with high pressure over the North American Arctic and low pressure over the Siberian Arctic. This pattern is often associated with severe

and climate records, said: “It’s officially the hottest June on record for the UK, for mean temperature as well as average maximum and minimum temperature. “June started with a good deal of high pressure and temperatures initially around average for many, but once that subsided, warm, humid air began

cross-sections and jet streams Meteorologists used cross-sections of the atmosphere to analyse the setup, focusing on potential temperature rather than actual temperature to highlight the gradient between air masses. The cold, dense Arctic air moved south at the surface, while warm, moist air from North

With high pressure over the UK bringing continued settled conditions, temperatures will continue to increase through the end of the week and into the weekend. Friday will be another warm day, with highs of 32°C possible in central England. High cloud will move into the southwest of England. Some
