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

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

Atlas of Mortality and Economic Losses from Weather, Climate and Water Extremes reports Africa recorded 1,695 weather, water and climate related disasters, resulting in 731,747 lives lost and US$ 38.5 billion economic losses, from 1970 to 2019. The Weather and Climate Information Services (WISER

The latest edition in an annual series of global climate reports shows that Europe experienced its warmest year in 2020 by a considerable amount.

the wealth of evidence of sustained climate change with long-term trends and record or near-record values across our climate system is growing and it is becoming abundantly clear that these historically unusual values of water vapour, relative humidity, evaporation, soil moisture, drought, extreme

. • The climate of 2003, when the record June temperature was observed, represented by temperature anomalies in years 1993-2012 extracted from the ALL experiment. • the present climate, represented by the temperature anomalies in years 2013-2032 extracted from the ALL experiment. • the climate of the late

simulations start at year 1850. The likelihood of extreme heatwaves is calculated under four different climatic conditions: the natural climate, represented by all June temperature anomalies extracted from the NAT experiment. The climate of 2003, when the record June temperature was observed, represented

; Arndt et al. 2010). This implies that more moisture is available to form precipitation in extreme events and to provide additional energy to further intensify such events. About two-thirds of locations globally with long, climate-quality instrumental records [e.g., as compiled in the Hadley Centre

. Temperatures will vary across the country, with warm conditions in the southeast, possibly up to about 21-22°C in some areas. These temperatures fall just slightly short of some of the highest recorded throughout the event’s history and well ahead of last year's maximum temperature at St James's
