in southern Australia.  In light of the Australian fires, in January 2020 an international group of scientists, including from University of East Anglia (UEA), Met Office Hadley Centre, University of Exeter, Imperial College London, and CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere reviewed published scientific evidence

occur high in the atmosphere, typically between 80 and 300 kilometres above the Earth’s surface. To see them, clear, dark skies are essential. Even thin cloud can obscure the subtle colours and movements of the aurora, while thick cloud makes sightings impossible. Light pollution from urban areas

On Wednesday, low cloud and areas of patchy light rain or drizzle will linger across central and southern England and Wales, gradually clearing southwards as the day progresses. Northern and western Scotland will be windy and cloudy, with outbreaks of rain and drizzle becoming more persistent

will slowly move eastward across Northern Ireland and into parts of western Scotland, with some heavy rain expected at times. The far southwest may also see a little light rain or drizzle. Elsewhere, clear spells will dominate, but fog patches may develop in parts of the south and west. Larger areas

will give way to increasing cloud cover. Some patchy light rain is possible, especially in western Scotland and Northern Ireland. Temperatures here will be notably cooler under the cloud, particularly in central and western parts. Will any temperature records be broken this week? 🌡️ Here's our

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

temperature anomalies, trade wind strength, atmospheric pressure pattern and cloudiness all consistent with this. The event has likely recently peaked and a gradual shift into neutral conditions is likely, with the latest NOAA Climate Prediction Centre / NCEP statement (PDF) stating

and cloudiness all consistent with this. The event has likely recently peaked and a gradual shift towards more neutral conditions should take place during the first half of next year. However, over the next few months there is ~95% chance of La Niña continuing. The latest NOAA Climate Prediction Centre
