in northern areas, with rain across central and southern parts moving southwards, turning to snow on the northern edge and with frequent showers, mainly wintry with hail, sleet and snow, reaching all parts by evening. A widespread frost on the 31st gave way to sunshine, but with showers, mostly wintry

and snow for some northern parts where Copley (Northumberland) recorded 25 cm of lying snow; blustery wintry showers followed in northern and central areas with rain showers in the south and hail and thunder in the south-east later. The 19th was mainly dry and sunny, with scattered showers in the west

cover a horizontal surface at that place if there were no loss by evaporation, percolation or run-off. The precipitation may be liquid (rain or drizzle) or frozen (snow, snow pellets, snow grains, hail, small hail, ice pellets, diamond dust) or a mixture (rain and snow, drizzle and snow, rain

The hot weather will continue across the UK, with heatwave conditions for many, creating ideal conditions for thunderstorms which will bring heavy rain and increasing risks from flash flooding, lightning and hail..

and temporal resolution of the radar measurements. Dual-polarimetric radars provide detail within the storms including the precipitation rate and precipitation type (rain, hail, graupel, ice crystals). This microphysical information can be used to characterize storm severity. Particularly noteworthy

by showers, heaviest and most frequent over the north and west, and wintry at times. The 23rd was wet and windy once again, Fair Isle (Shetland) seeing gusts up to 78 mph, with frequent, heavy showers, and thunderstorms over the north, falling as snow or hail in places, merging into a band of heavy

and are almost guaranteed to cause fatalities in such incidents. Thunderstorms also cause death and injury from lightning strikes and occasionally from hail stones. Indeed, Uganda has one of the highest reported rate of lightning strikes in the world 158 - 218 per square km (see Powell, 2016). Mary

learned previously, precipitation is water that falls to the ground and includes rain, snow and hail. Encourage the children to compare these two projections. • Prompt questions: In which scenario (high or low emissions) is there greater precipitation, meaning that it is wetter? Are there any

of raindrops. In turn, understanding more about their structure will help forecasters accurately pinpoint the difference between rain, hail and snow. And that means they can provide clearer and more accurate information about heavy rainfall – especially during high-impact weather. Clearing the way
