showers skirting East Anglian coasts. Many areas were cloudy on the 18th, with the best of any sunshine in the south, and patchy light rain or showers for the north-west and through the Cheshire Gap, and also in eastern coastal counties. Parts of the south-west started sunny on the 19th, otherwise

in a number of different ways including from satellite data, by radar and by LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). The Met Office uses an instrument called LiDAR to measure ash clouds. LiDAR works by sending pulses of laser light through the atmosphere, which is scattered by volcanic ash particles. Some

Albertus Magnus was a German Bishop and Philospher working in the 13th century. He was one of the greatest thinkers of his time and sought to explain many aspects of the natural world in a rational manner. Albertus studied the reflection of light through the use of mirrors and the refraction

What are virga? Virga, from the Latin for 'rod' or 'branch' appear as light wisps which are attached to the base of a cloud and are often at their most striking when lit by a red sunset with a light wind extending the tail into a angled curve. How does virga form? Simply put, virga are trails

uses the same aerial for transmitting a signal and receiving the returned echo. Figure 2 : How radar works Short pulses of electro-magnetic waves, which travel at the speed of light (approx. 186,000 miles per second), are transmitted in a narrow beam for a very short time (typically two microseconds
