of the wet season. Present-day simulations of the RCM ensemble are more similar to each other than those of the driving GCM ensemble which indicates that their climatologies are influenced significantly by the RCM formulation and less so by their driving GCMs. Consistent with this, the spread and magnitudes

month on average) and the west and central mountainous regions are wetter (up to 250mm per month depending on the season) (figure 2). Most of the country experiences the majority of its rainfall in two main seasons with the long rains from March-May and the short rains in October- 4 November (figure 3

this year or next. There are anticipated impacts in regions adjacent to the Pacific; notably southeast Asia and eastern Australia, where we could see drier than average conditions which could exacerbate wildfire risk. There is a known association between El Niño and a colder than average end to winter

temperatures increasing as a result of human-induced climate change, the pollen season in the UK isn’t immune to the effects of a changing climate. Climate models suggest an increasing likelihood of warmer, wetter winters and hotter drier summers, which will influence the release of pollen into the atmosphere

Unusual conditions in the tropics and stratosphere gave rise to the very wet winter of 2013-14, in which there was damaging flooding in many parts of England.

to the very wet weather. Over the course of a season, even influences from the other side of the globe can change the weather experienced in the UK.   New study published Today, in a study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, a team of Met Office and University of Oxford scientists

Seasonal Assessment – Spring 2021 The following represents a provisional assessment of the weather experienced across the UK during Spring 2021 (March, April and May) and how it compares with the 1981 to 2010 average. This spring was a season of contrasts. Overall it was colder than average

, but not exceptional, autumn storm for the UK, but as the fourth named storm of the 2023-2024 storm season, contributed to a generally wet, stormy and unsettled spell of weather affecting the UK through the autumn. Impacts The worst weather impacts from storm Debi were across the Republic of Ireland where

Storm Jorge Storm Jorge was the fifth named storm of the 2019/2010 season. Jorge was named by the Spanish meteorological service and brought strong winds and heavy rain across the UK from 28 February to 1 March. Impacts Weather impacts from storm Jorge were in general less severe than from storms

However, one temperature record can’t tell the full story of a season overall. So how did Summer 2019 compare with previous summers? Tim Legg, of the Met Office’s National Climate Information Centre, provides more detail. He said: “Overall Summer 2019 was the twelfth warmest on record since 1910
