Ahead of the Spring Bank Holiday, check out these weather records logged for the late-May bank holiday. 

The final bank holiday in May was traditionally called the Whitsun Bank Holiday and observed on the Monday following Pentecost. Over the years, it has seen a wide range of weather extremes across the UK. In this article, we look back at the UK’s weather records ever logged on this late-May bank

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

.   As well as causing future impacts, human-induced climate change has already influenced extreme weather in the UK. Research has shown climate change made the 2018 record-breaking UK summer temperatures about 30 times more likely than it would be naturally. Additionally, a separate study found

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

Human-induced climate change has made the 2018 record-breaking UK summer temperatures about 30 times more likely than it would be naturally, the Met Office will say at CoP24 - in Poland – later today (6 December 2018).

Professor Peter Stott is a world-leading expert on climate attribution based at the Met Office and the University of Exeter in the UK. He said: “Our provisional study compared computer models based on today’s climate with those of the natural climate we would have had without human-induced

, where 36.3 °C was recorded at Cranwell, setting a new record for the climate district of England E & NE. The panel of maps below show daily maximum temperatures from 22 to 26 July 2019, indicating the duration and spatial extent of the heatwave. Temperatures exceeded 30 °C widely across much central

Record any concrete actions under this strategy element in the corresponding table row in the worksheet (3

. The availability of station data records across the UK has changed considerably over time. In order to produce spatially complete and homogenous national climate monitoring the station climate records are interpolated onto a uniform grid to produce gridded daily and monthly climate datasets along with reference
