coastal defences causing flooding. The greatest storm surge on record for the North Sea as a whole occurred on 31 January and 1 February 1953.   Thunderstorms Most thunderstorms are associated with towering clouds known as cumulonimbus. The right conditions for the formation of a thunderstorm

or drizzle over the Midlands in the morning, and cloud increasing generally, with isolated showers in the north-west, and more general rain spreading into northern parts around evening. The 4th was generally cloudy but less cold, with rain affecting all parts except the far north, this rain clearing

creating rapidly rising warm air which leads to the development of a low pressure centre. Several conditions are needed for a tropical cyclone to form: High sea temperatures of at least 27°C. Converging winds near the ocean surface forcing air to rise and form storm clouds. Winds that do not vary

Height of base: above 20,000 ft.  Latin: No formal latin classification – but the word condensation comes from the latin word “condensatione”.  Precipitation: None What are contrails?  Contrails are long thin lines of cloud, usually seen behind an aircraft. How do contrails form?  Aeroplane jet

During summer 2023, the Met's Office Wessex Convection Experiment (WesCon) campaign focussed on observing convective clouds to better understand how they form and develop, leading to heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.

-based and remote sensing equipment. This concentration of available measurement platforms coupled with above average summer rainfall for the UK provided a fantastic opportunity to improve our understanding of convection. Routine radar measurements recorded details of the 3D structures of clouds

in the way of cloud for the southern fells during the morning. Chance of cloud-free hill tops above 800m: 90% perhaps some patchy cloud around the summits at times. Low cloud and visibility: Scattered cloud bases will mainly be above summits although patchy low cloud at times for the higher fells. Very
