tackled a 30-acre field fire near Cambridge. Thunderstorms on the 9th in south-east England caused some delays to air travel, notably at Gatwick and Stansted airports. On the 10th heavy showers across parts of the south-east led to some localised impacts, with flooding in Barking and Dagenham, and one

Wales and North Yorkshire on the 16th, and the northbound A19 had to be closed. Heavy showers and thunderstorms broke out on the 20th across parts of Northamptonshire, Cambridge, Rutland, Lincolnshire and Norfolk, but with no impacts resulting. Increasingly high temperatures developed across the east

on small spatial scales such as cities. For example, this information will allow us to look at future changes in flash floods, like the Boscastle type of event, and … at temperature extremes in cities, for example a temperature record was recently broken with 38.7 recorded in Cambridge in July. 2
