was the wettest spring day on record in a daily series from 1891, with an average of 32.6mm of rain falling, exceeding 32.0mm on 23 April 1971. It was also the wettest spring day on record for the climate district of North West England and North Wales. Cumbria also recorded its wettest spring day in a daily

May has become the sunniest calendar month on record in the UK

for May. Dr Mark McCarthy is the head of the Met Office’s National Climate Information Centre. He said: “The most remarkable aspect is just how much some of the May and Spring records for these climate statistics have been exceeded. Exceeding the UK sunshine record is one thing, but exceeding

processes in the model, satellite derived global ozone, greenhouse gas and aerosol concentration datasets are being compared with model simulations to assess the model uncertainties. For the marine domain the sea surface temperature climate data record (CDR) is being used to define the sea surface

like the observational record. As our climate warms, it is notable quite how variable the number of events becomes year to year. Professor Kendon explains: “The observed rainfall record in the UK is fairly erratic with a large amount of variability, these latest projections show that this is likely

Witnessing the highest UK temperature for the months of February, July, and provisionally December, 2019 was a year of multiple records, concluding a record-breaking decade.

The decade 2010-2019 The decade 2010 to 2019 holds eight [note one December record from 2019 is still pending verification] high UK temperature records, compared with only one low-temperature record in the set of official Met Office UK climate extremes. Dr Mark McCarthy, head of the National
