These factsheets clearly describe and illustrate the processes involved in global weather and climate, providing the most up-to-date answers and information. 1. Clouds The current classification of clouds is based upon those originated by Luke Howard (1772-1864), a London pharmacist and amateur

the air stable, rather than cold and moist. Low cloud and poor visibility may be very persistent under such conditions. • The record breaking temperatures of August 2003 were caused by a tropical continental air mass. Summer Winter Temperature: Very warm or hot Average Humidity: Relatively dry Rather

, particularly over coastal areas and hills where it brings low clouds, drizzle and local hill fog. Judging from the number of isobars the gradient wind does not seem to be an issue but the complexity of the frontal system over the Atlantic indicates that conditions will deteriorate quickly

of the atmosphere model to the surface model, where soil moisture has been shown to affect initiation. Much of the above is based on comparisons between model and observations for surface rainfall. It is possible that updrafts or clouds may compare better to observations and that the issue is related

to the formation of cumulonimbus clouds, towering, dense clouds capable of producing heavy rain, hail, and lightning. Lightning is a massive electrical discharge caused by the separation of positive and negative charges within a storm cloud. As the storm develops, ice particles and hailstones collide

. Breezy conditions will persist, and temperatures will hover near or slightly below seasonal averages. Monday night will see a shift to drier conditions for many, though showers in the north will drift southward, concentrating along North Sea coastal counties. Cloud cover will increase in the far
