and brings heavy rainfall to the region. Around 80% of the annual rainfall in India falls during the monsoon season and many industries such as agriculture rely on this water. Heavy summer monsoons can also cause flooding making it an important weather event to understand. Around the world, severe

A CSSP China project has been developing a global dataset of extreme wet bulb temperature (Tw) and air temperature (T) – HadISDH.extremes – that enables us to study the current level

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

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

Monday and Tuesday are expected to be the best days of the week, before things turn wetter and windier from midweek. Today (Monday), showers will develop across western areas, while eastern parts remain largely dry with sunny spells. It will feel cooler than the weekend, with breezy conditions

% wetter than the 1961–1990 baseline. Extreme rainfall events are becoming more common, contributing to record-breaking wet seasons like the winter of 2023–2024, which brought severe flooding to major river catchments. Sea levels around the UK have risen nearly 20 cm since 1900, with the pace accelerating

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

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

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
